Spain vs Argentina — the case for each
Spainarrive as European champions and the tournament’s most complete team — a midfield of Rodri, Pedri and Fabián Ruiz that suffocates the game, with 18-year-old Lamine Yamal providing the spark from the right. They dismantled France 2–0 in the semifinal. This is Spain’s first World Cup Final since they lifted the trophy in 2010.
Argentina are the defending champions, and they have Lionel Messi — 39 years old and, by his own words, playing his final World Cup. La Albiceleste have ridden their nerve through every knockout round, beating England 2–1 in the semifinal with Messi assisting the winner. Never write off a team with the greatest player of his generation chasing the perfect goodbye.
