FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread

[GxSTxV]

Honestly, I was so happy that Spain finally managed to win this match and score a very clean goal. Watching this match among my friends who were all Argentina fans made me crazy, I had to fight against them on every clear fault and deserved cards against Messi and his teammates while the referee was almost blind.

Spain managed to score a valid goal minutes after the extra time started, unfortunately the referee had a different opinion, even though nobody had seen what happened or how the referee judged it. The disturbing thing is that Argentina fans are almost identical where they don’t like logic or watch football, all what they see is Messi doing whatever he wants.

However, this is football and it’s always fun, congratulations to Spain and Hard luck to Argentina on the future. Xd, Messi is greedy and wants a second Cup in 4 years.

As many other finals, it wasn't exactly a great match. But I get it, there is a lot to win and also a lot to lose, many times I feel like watching a final is one of the most stressful things ever. I am glad Spain won because they deserved it, they definitely imposed their football and they have been very consistent throughout the whole competition. Argentina, on the other hand, did nothing. They just tried to make the Spanish players nervous because the Argentinians were very aggressive. It wasn't a great tactic and it didn't work at all. Congratulations to Spain, well deserved.

Spain played like a true professional team and easily managed to overcome Argentina. This was because the Argentinian players seemed quite frustrating. They were very aggressive and had a very different attitude towards Spain. I think they couldn't tolerate Spain's relaxed mentality. They must have thought that if they could psychologically break down Spain, they could win. However, Argentina's chance was completely over after Enzo Fernandez's amateurish red card.

Enzo Fernandez spent all the world cup striking others and being disrespectful. It was the first time he received two yellows and a red card but this should have happened before more earlier

Argentina played like how they know how to play, being dirty and trying to take the opponent to make mistakes because of their annoyance. It was a good day for football after Argentina lost because they did not deserve the win. I will sleep happy

I'm also very happy to see Spain win this World Cup, because basically with their current performance, they really deserve to be champions. Because I watched the match when Spain faced Portugal, at that time I already realized that only Spain could possibly beat Argentina if they met in the final. Because basically, Spanish players have great skills and most importantly, they have an excellent mentality. So even though they play under pressure, Spanish players will continue to play well.

So it's proven now that they can become champions in this edition of the World Cup. So yes, that's really great. Besides that, Argentina also played well in this match, but still, they can't deny that they really struggled in this match. Because I'm very sure that if Argentina didn't have a great goalkeeper, maybe they would have conceded a lot of goals in this match. But fortunately, their goalkeeper was very good in this match. So I think he is the influential player for Argentina in this match.

What an exciting match of football was played today between Spain and Argentina. A complete dominance by Spain, but the Argentinian goalkeeper was the wall that prevented any goals in the first and second halves. In extra time, the same dominance, but an unfortunate miscalculation by the Argentinian defence got the first goal. Congratulations, Spain, for winning the WC-2026 and winning the trophy for the second time.

[Bobrox]

Congratulation for Spain team success winning FIFA World Cup 2026 after defeating Argentina, last night Spain success playing well, dominance the games and high pressure for Argentina during 90 minutes until 30 minutes extra additional time without made one shot on goal yet. I can't believing how poor performance of Argentina not make any one shot on goal or on target and Argentina dominance made many fault.

Bad attitude from Argentina players during the games until the match over, I don't know what did by Leandro Paredes after the match he loss control of emotion when push Gavi and Eric Garcia, indeed really happy Spain success become the winner but last night the final match really not interested yet how Argentina playing full defense since the early minutes.

spain has now successfully defeated Argentina in the final with a score of 0-1, and finally, Spain is now the champion of the 2026 World Cup. This certainly makes the Spanish players and the Spanish people happy. The Spanish players were seen working well in this match, which ultimately resulted in them always attacking Argentina well, ultimately making the Argentine defense always struggle as they were constantly pressured by the Spanish players. Spain scored many goals, but unfortunately, only one goal was considered valid by the referee namely Torres' goal

argentina, who won the World Cup last season, now has to accept that they will not be champions in the 2026 World Cup. However, Argentina can also be champions in my opinion, that is a good thing. Now I want to congratulate Spain on becoming the champion of the 2026 World Cup.
In this match, fortunately, I bet on Spain to win, and in the end, I profited. Do you feel the same?

[LUCKMCFLY]

I don't think Messi will give up the World Cup and focus on the top goal scorer award. In the England vs France match, it was clear that the players played only for their own achievements, most notably Kylian Mbappe winning the tournament's top scorer award. For now, this award doesn't mean much to Messi, but his focus should be on the title, and he might even do that. The England vs France match seemed a bit suspicious to me, I have doubts about whether the match was fixed or not. However, in an important match like the final, it is a bit disturbing to raise suspicions of corruption, I think you should focus on the performance of the players and the FIFA rules rather than worrying too much about corruption.

For me, football won today. I'm not a big fan of Spain, but they truly gave a demonstration of elegant football. The Argentinians tried their usual dirty play, but the Spaniards didn't fall for it. There were a lot of scuffles, yes, but there was a point where Argentina was really going for it; it was impressive. I liked how all the players played, especially Cucurella and Ferran. Congratulations to Spain!

It wasn't as I expected, this encounter has already shown us the clue that we needed to answer the question we have been waiting for and Argentina used Messi to pass a message that they are not going to win this edition of the World Cup. Well I don't want to sound like I never enjoyed the game only that it was the worse performance from Argentina, imagine how weak they were to get shots on goal and again, Messi was completely out of this game and I kept asking what happened because we haven't seen him display like that in this World Cup. If we have to tell ourselves the truth, Spain made a mistake for not taking that chance of getting a goal in the 1st half because it was very clear that Argentina never came to the party.

Fernandez was excited, he should not have attacked after receiving the first yellow card. As long as Fernandez performed on the field, the two teams were equal and the game between the two teams was quite tough. But as soon as Fernandez left the field, the Argentine team immediately started defending with all 10 people including the goalkeeper. At this opportunity, the Spanish team players started attacking the attack and broke the mentality of the Argentine team players, undoubtedly the certainty of the Argentine team losing increased. Later, after the goal was scored, Argentina became fully aggressive and started to counterattack excitedly.
As time approached, the Argentine team was confirmed to lose and the referee's final whistle blew, and the Spanish team became the World Cup winner.

[Franctoshi]

The Spanish national teams became the first-ever simultaneous men's FIFA World Cup and FIFA Women's World Cup holders: Spain. 🇪🇸 And not just that, they went unbeaten for the 2026 FIFA World Cup tournament to lift the trophy. 2026 is a year of great achievement for the country , and big congratulations 🎉 go to them that brought this honor home.

While Argentina showed the most disgraceful performance ever in a final, only 1 shot on target after playing a whole of 120 minutes. Indeed, without MESSI, no Argentina this tournament.

MESSI can retire now; it isn't his fault. He's got all he needed as a player in his football career; 3 World Cup finals isn't child's play.

[OsaiEmma]

Fifa prize pool for this world cup is a staggering $871M, compared to the previous world cup of $440M, that's like almost double that. Every team participating will earn a significant amount based on their performance (that is, when they were eliminated). Meanwhile, the champion goes home with a staggering $50M paid to their nation (players get around 30% to 40% of that).

I believe this is due to the large number of participants in this year's world cup tournament, and I'm pretty sure FIFA gained even more from this.

Anyways, congratulations to the Spanish team, they overwhelming dominated the game and came out victorious. Messi really wanted a second WC but things doesn't always go according to how we plan them. Kudos to Rodri for the best player award, I'm somewhat disappointed that Yamal didn't receive any award though.

I also want to congratulate Spain for becoming the 2026 World Cup champion. Spain truly deserved to win because Spain's strength was very strong in this match. Yes, sometimes I also don't understand Argentina because they couldn't get a shot on goal, even though in previous matches argentina always threatened the enemy goal well. But if you think about it, if Argentina didn't defend as much, Argentina might have potentially conceded more goals. But now it's all happened, and I also want to congratulate Argentina for now winning second place

For spanish supporters and those who bet on Spain to win, they must have been very happy watching last night's match because argentina didn't attack much. However, for those who didn't support anyone, it must have been boring because it wasn't like the England vs. France match where there were many goals and both teams attacked each other. The Spanish players are certainly happy right now, and the Spanish people are also happy because Spain last won the World Cup in 2010 before winning the 2026 title

[passwordnow]

That was a long game, I thought that Argentina will win but both shown great game. Congratulations to Spain, they deserve it. I know that Argentina also deserves it but this time, it's with Spain. Almost close to becoming a champ again for this FIFA world cup but not enough. My bet with Argentina also lost though.

[Italian Panic]

I was convinced Argentina would win, though I have to admit that yesterday in New York it was really hot during rush hour, and that didn’t help the Argentinian team, which was already struggling due to a low rotation in players and having played one extra match in the knockout stages, not to mention the various periods of extra time. As for the rest, congratulations to Spain, who deserve credit for being a huge team brimming with energy and a great coach.
Unfortunately, yesterday Messi was more of a liability on the pitch than an asset, a bit like Cristiano Ronaldo for Portugal.

This world cup was very interesting being hosted by three countries and it has come and gone with all the excitement and regrets, in the end of it all Spain is crowned the winner and I must say that they deserved it. Argentina, also showed that they are a world class team which was why they reached the finals but as it is with sports at the knockout stages a winner must emerge and Spain triumphed over them. I actually bet on England winning the world cup but it didn't happen however I'm happy for Spain because in football you can never underate a Spanish team and they have shown us once again the very reason why national teams should mess with them.

Spain managed to show its identity as a team that was able to dominate possession and the game, while Argentina seemed to be defending more and disrupting the rhythm of Spain game. Throughout the 90 minutes of normal time, Argentina did not register a single shot on target, although this final was a bit boring because there were no thrusts from Argentina that threatened the Spanish goal, but the Spanish players managed to make Argentina look like a mediocre team that was only able to withstand attacks from them. Spain's tactics succeeded in provoking the emotions of the Argentine players, they felt very frustrated with the Spanish attacks that continued to threaten their goal, as a result Enzo Fernandez had to receive a second yellow card. The final was 3x more tense than a normal match, one mistake, four years of regret.

[Warkop]

Fortunately, Messi had the chance to play in 3 finals. Many great players only make it to the final once. Messi won once and was on the losing side twice. But without him, Argentina would never have made it to this final. I think everyone will agree on this.

LoL.. There is no great player who is able to reach 3 Finals other than Messi wow.. it's amazing my friend, have you forgotten the history of Brazilian football that led Pele to win the world cup 3 times in a row, Messi is nothing my friend compared to the players from Brazil so don't think that Messi really did it without FIFA's help.

Argentina was defeated by every strategy Spain used. I could sense from the beginning of the match that Argentina was mentally weak. They could not play very aggressively. Despite trying several times, they were not able to break through the Spanish defence. In fact, the attitude is not different, they could not create any planned areas to score goals. Anyway if you look at the previous matches of the Argentina team, the team was so perfect in those matches that the opponent team surrendered to them. They were performing impressively in every match but the picture in the final was exactly the opposite.

Of course, praise for the Spain team that they played almost the same strategy throughout the entire time and they did not get tired during this time and every player had the excitement of winning and played aggressively to defeat a strong opponent like Argentina. Congratulations to the Spain team for their excellent performance.
