Spain Demolishes Argentina to Win 2026 World Cup Final
Watching Argentina get outshot 20 to 2 in a World Cup final was not on anyone's bingo card, but Spain just ran an absolute masterclass in New Jersey.
Spain completely smothered the defending champions, hogging the ball like a greedy kid at a birthday party and stringing together over 800 passes. Lionel Messi and company didn’t even manage a single shot attempt until the 117th minute of extra time. Think about that for a second. The Spanish keeper literally stood there without facing a single shot on target while his teammates turned the pitch into a game of pinball.
Enzo Fernandez got sent off after picking up a second yellow card, forcing Argentina to survive extra time down a man. Ferran Torres finally broke the deadlock in the 106th minute with a wild header off the back of his head, sending $51 million and the trophy straight to Madrid.
Holding both the men's and women's World Cup titles at the exact same time means Spain officially owns global soccer now.
