The moment you were waiting for: here comes the World Cup final. After more than 100 matches with 46 teams eliminated from the fight for the championship, the biggest FIFA tournament in history will end with Sunday’s final between Spain and Argentina.
On one hand, there is a Spanish team that beat France in the semi-final and has quietly dominated its way to its first final appearance since winning it all in 2010. On the other, there is an Argentine team, led by legendary superstar Lionel Messi, with an impressive string of comeback victories, including against England in the other semi-final, as it attempts to defend its World Cup title.
Messi and Argentina will take on Lamine Yamal and Spain for all the glory on Sunday at New York New Jersey Stadium. And we are sure that this will be an unforgettable confrontation.
