The moment you’ve been waiting for: here’s the World Cup final. After more than 100 matches with 46 teams eliminated from the championship, the biggest FIFA tournament in history will end on Sunday with the final between Spain and Argentina.
On one side is a Spain team who beat France in the semi-final and have quietly dominated their way to their first appearance in the final since winning it all in 2010. On the other is an Argentina team, led by legendary superstar Lionel Messi, with a stunning run of comeback victories – including against England in the other semi-final – as they attempt to defend their World Cup title.
Messi and Argentina will face Lamine Yamal and Spain for all the glory on Sunday at the New York New Jersey Stadium. And we are convinced that it will be an unforgettable match.
