Spain 1-0 Argentina
One team came out to play football in the World Cup final, and that team eventually won after extra-time.
Spain are the champions.

There were 110 (yes, 110!) passes in the build-up to Riyad Mahrez's goal for Algeria last night.
Algeria had the ball in continuous possession for over 5 minutes 😂
Clearly didn't get the message that a draw would have been fine for both

We asked FIFA President Gianni Infantino for his World Cup prediction.
#Opta says Spain will win.
His response was simple. "If Opta said so."

I’ll tell you something for free.
At the highest level of football, there are certain things you cannot fluke.
Glasner won the Europa League with Frankfurt, this was a time big teams use to drop from UCL into Europa, so he had to face teams like Barcelona on the way. Still, he won the Europa.
He came to Palace, with a small budget compared to the other English teams, he won the FA Cup, the first trophy in Palace’s history, he beat Man City to win it. You can’t fluke that, he’s a winner.
He qualified them to Europa by winning the FA Cup , but they dropped to Conference league because of the multi-club ownership saga with Textor. Despite the setback, he has just won an European trophy for a South London club.
In 2 years, he has changed a club’s history and won 3 trophies for them if we add the community shield. He did this while losing big players, lost his captain January, lost his best player to Arsenal in summer, lost Olise.
This guy is a winner.
