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

[free-bit.co.in]

I'm among those who think that Argentina didn't deserve it that much, they had a very simple group where they were the only one of their level... plus they had a suspicious number of referee "favours" which always influenced the match in some way, so i think Spain's victory is doubly deserved.

Spain started the game against Argentina from the same place they finished with France. Just as the French players were unable to keep the ball in the France match, Argentina was far behind Spain in the ball possession ratio in the final match between Argentina and Spain. Spain probably made 24 attacks against Argentina, out of which 12 were on target shots, while Martine blocked 11 shots. But he had to concede a goal in the end. However, the way Spain performed in the final match, they deserved to be crowned World Cup champions. However, Argentina had to work very hard for 106 minutes (with 10 players at the end). Argentina might have wanted the match to be a draw and victory or defeat to be decided in the Tribec. But in the end, that was not the case. I must congratulate Spain for winning the World Cup.

We should definitely praise Fuente's match strategy. They easily  defeated a giant team like France. The match was dominated by spain's  players. We saw the same strategy in the match  against argentina. Spain's players had almost 70% ball  possession. At the same time, they were able to put the argentine  players under full pressure. As a result, argentina's players were not able to make a single strong attack. Spain faced  giant teams like Portugal, Belgium, France and Argentina in the knockout  round. They played well in every  match.

Hence the popular adage "leave football before football leaves you". They both shouldn't have been part of this world cup in the first place. I don't buy the idea of whatever this last dance was all about. Messi created a decent record for himself, so did Ronaldo, but tainted it with a frustrating end is a little funny. An eye opener indeed! Also, first time seeing Trump fully involved in world football. Let's assume it's because America was the co-host.

Is that so I believe it was Jamie Carragher who said that about Casemiro when he had an off-season at Manchester United.

This isn’t Trump’s first time. Don’t forget Trump was also involved in the Club World Cup. He was in Chelsea’s celebration photo last year and he did the same thing at the World Cup last night. It was hilarious to watch Infantino trying to tell him to leave the stage.

Unless if someone is a sadist or a blind follower else they will rate Spain for the good work they did. Spain impressed me more than any other country and I did not even get to notice their game play up on till when they played against Portugal in the round of 16 since then I began to fall in love with their style of football. I watched them with keen interest in their games against Belgium at the Quarterfinals, France at the semifinals and of course the championship final against the World Cup favorites, Argentina. I saw how heartbroken it was for Lionel Messi and he just could not help but to shed tears on the pitch for his sad moments.

Spain has shown to the world that they have what it takes to become the country that is capable of carrying the 2026 world cup.
There performances has been quite impressive and I like the way they are playing naturally without attacking their opponents like people that are desperate for the world cup. Argentina has several yellow cards and their game were brutal which shows that they are desperate thinking they could win the world cup with the support of the referee. Congratulations to Spain for not disappointing us.

I have never seen Argentina play so aggressively. They performed quite well before . Buy this match They got so many fouls and red cards. That seemed unbelievable to me. They were not even playing that well. Spain blocked Argentina's passing lines. The way they were passing, the Spanish players were blocked those passes. But Spain really played much better. They are even capable of beating any team in the world now. When they beat France and took their chance in the final, I knew that it would not be easy for Argentina to beat them. But I could not have imagined that Argentina itself would play so badly.

[Smack That Ace]

Spain has won the World Cup, but the effort Emiliano Martínez made, the words are not enough to explain the beauty of his defense, of catching the ball, and of judging the opponent player's mindset. He jumped very high in some of the free kicks and doing Aura Farming. Yesterday he made up to 10 saves, and this is not a cup of tea for every goalkeeper. And with that, he became the goalkeeper who saved the most goals in the final of the FIFA World Cup.

I have not seen Martinez perform better than expected in this world cup. But he performed exceptionally  well in the final match. If martinez had not performed well, Argentina would have conceded at least 3 goals in this match. Argentina's  defense was also very shaky in this match.

In the final match, we  all thought we would see  a tough fight. But it was a one-sided match. Argentina's players could not  even have ball possession, they completely failed to dominate  the match. Argentina could not even have a single on target shot in  120 minutes. This is very sad. I never imagined that argentina would play badly in the final match.

[Akbarkoe]

Congratulations to all Spain they really deserve this title they vanish from the pitch two super teams like France and Argentina in the semifinals and the final respectively, it was a majestic football, maybe with less goals than expected but they really know how to treat the ball, as i said is not easy at all to vanish powerfull teams from the pitch.

Since the beginning most people support France and Argentina as a candidate to win the World Cup now, even Spain is not a team that is calculated well, but they can give unexpected things by beating France, and tough competition against Argentina in the final, fortunately Ferran Torres can score goals, you said if his shot bounced up maybe there would be no goal and the final match would go, I know when Argentina find it difficult to get the ball they think they want to compete with luck in the penalty box, unfortunately Ferran Torres did not give that chance.

Congratulations to Spain have been overwhelming, even in my local media.

Argentina succeeded in playing the Afcon in the same WC, now it was time to rock with a solid club in the world cup final and they shredded into pieces like dry leaves. No matter how long you try to run and hide, you can't escape the wrath of the people who you cheated in every game.

What kind of spectacular performance was that? A type that beats every other team, but below the success radar. Haha! It's now proven that they played the full 90 minutes without any shot on target, and statistically, it's the worst WC performance by any team since the inception. What an ugly way to get whooped after all these games. Guess what, the Internet is so quiet Shhhh!!

You probably dislike the Argentina team a lot. But Argentina cheated so they qualified for the final, it's not like that. Some decisions went in Argentina's favor. But all of them were within the rules. The referee did nothing outside the rules.

Until the final, we saw the best performance from Argentina in every match. Even though they didn't play well in the first half, they dominated in the last 30 minutes of the match and won. But the final scene was completely different. We saw Argentina's bizarre gameplay.

Spain played poorly. The players were very confident. We saw the dominance of the Spanish players from the first minute of the match. The Argentine players were under pressure from the beginning. As a result, they could not make any strong counterattacks.

Congratulations to Spain, they really deserved this victory. Messi really tried but I think it was God’s will for Spain to win. I really enjoyed the match. I was expecting a more serious game from both countries but I feel Argentina wasn’t prepared enough or they were looking down on Spain.

Their game plan was so flawed although they did manage to hold Spain off till the very last minutes of the match because with the 90mins play it was certain that they probably taught of taking the game to penalty where we all we know it's a no man game and probably anybody can win. I think from all the participants that Argentina played in this world cup it was clear that they have struggled and today Spain really showed their weaknesses and in the end it was a well deserved win for Spain indeed.

Spain played aggressively in this World Cup final but I noticed that Argentina's performance was full of mistakes as they were busy defending throughout the match. You are right that Argentina's performance looked like they were thinking of taking the match to penalties but Spain were completely unstoppable as a result of the Barcelona player scoring in the 106th minute to give Spain the lead and they were on the verge of victory. Congratulations to the Spain team as we have seen that they have now won two World Cups and this is an early success for the young Lamine Yamal in this team. However everyone may have noticed that Argentina could not maintain their dominance in this match which resulted in their humiliating defeat against Spain in the World Cup final.

Emiliano Martínez made unofficial history in the World Cup final. The Argentine goalie made a staggering 11 saves, which is the highest in a men's World Cup final. I thought he would win the Golden Glove but Spain’s goalkeeper Unai Simón had an extraordinary competition. He conceded just a single goal and deserved to win that award.

Would could grade the game as tough even if Spain dominated because it lasted more than the normal 90 minutes. Spain were better in all aspects of the game but they struggled to break the Argentine defense until Enzo Fernandez was red-carded.

We should definitely praise Fuente's match strategy. They easily  defeated a giant team like France. The match was dominated by spain's  players.

They played well in every  match.

Football won in the end and this was a masterclass final game between two giant teams. Spain dominated the game and still won the game as it is suppose to be. One thing about that game was the time it took Spain to score the goal in that match, they had everything and only failed to get a goal not until the extra minutes of the game.

The Argentine players were hoping to take the game to extra time but in the end it wasn’t possible for them. They were relying on E. Martinez because he’s very good at penalties. I was already getting scared that Argentina will win the cup if they make it to the penalties but Spain were able to break the deadlock and scored in the 117 minutes of the game.

Honestly, the performance was very poor and I can not really tell what was the problem or the reason for the under performance in that match yesterday. People are saying they played afcon but the question is, didn't they win Switzerland and England? Or is this country afcon too? They played a good football and win these teams but the finals is what I don't really understand, they actually play shit yesterday and it doesn't look like final.

Argentina was very poor offensively, and they set an unwanted record of not having a single shot on target which was very poor.
Before the game yesterday I was arguing with a guy in my neighborhood that the Spanish team can easily tame the threat pose by Lionel Messi and other Argentina attacking players by keeping the ball to themselves, because it's only when they have the ball at the final third Lionel Messi and others can do any form of damage, but I never expected it to be that bad, since they were the defending champions and Lionel Messi has proven to be very deadly in this tournament. So a big congratulations to the Spanish team for putting in a convincing performance that made them the world champions last night.

[SuperBitMan]

Congratulations to Spain, they deserve it because they played more better than Argentina, if not for the Argentina goalkeeper I’m sure Spain would have won Argentina with 3 goals, the Argentina goalkeeper is a great player he did very well.
The full 90 minutes Argentina had no shot on target, this was something that surprised me, this shows how dominant Spain was in the match, Spain are actually very strong even though I know that already I didn’t know that they are this strong.

The World Cup is now over, OP by next week I will advise you to lock this thread since the World Cup has now ended.

Nobody is talking about that failed player. He criticizes everyone but Messi, but he never had a good career any way!

This isn’t Trump’s first time. Don’t forget Trump was also involved in the Club World Cup. He was in Chelsea’s celebration photo last year and he did the same thing at the World Cup last night. It was hilarious to watch Infantino trying to tell him to leave the stage.

Ahah! That's true, I recall now. You know since he likes to get too much attention to himself, I tend to forget some of his appearances, and even find it hard to recall events that he didn't show up? Lol. That orange man loves the Camara wor wors, and the spotlight. Too clingy of a guy, that's how someone (I've forgotten who) was also trying to tell him in Chelsea's celebration stage, "it's time to leave the players alone".

[Umulala-alala]

They wouldn't believe if there were told before now that they will play 120 minutes game with out an single target shot, we actually expected a tough final but they hold on the ball. Spain will be surprised that they will play Argentina for 120 minutes with Argentina having any shot on target they also lost in ball possession Spain won in all stats delivered an entertaining game believe me i really enjoyed Spain punishing Argentina in the final.

It's insane how Trump always wants to be the main character. He had no reason to be on the stage with the Spanish players who were ready to celebrate. I loved that Rodri basically gently pushed him away with his arm because Trump wasn't moving from the center of the stage. And the situation was getting so serious that even Infantino had to rush to move him further away.

And the Spanish Federation photoshopped him out of the pictures haha

Argentina should have received two red cards, as Paredes also committed several dangerous fouls. Argentina mentality was shattered as Spain dominated the game.
Messi was barely visible on the pitch, except in the final minutes. Argentina couldn't match Spain slick ball possession.

I was expecting Leandro Paredes to get a red card during the match and eventually he started a fight after the match. Argentina had been getting away with many fouls throughout the tournament. The red card at such a crucial moment in the final felt like the nail in the coffin. Argentina's plan was to drag the match to a penalty shootout like the last World Cup, but they fumbled during extra time because they were one player short. It was a great game and a fitting final for Spain.

[Chilwell]

Congratulations to Spain have been overwhelming, even in my local media.

I was so excited yesterday with the result of the final because it was won by my choice, this was why I'm so happy to see them lifting the trophy again. Yesterday's Victory was a well deserved victory for Spain because the actually fought for it and even in the hidden corner we couldn't be able to discover any favor for them. Argentina was embarrassed because almost 75% of football fans believe that it will definitely be on their side but unfortunately things turn offside down for them and the Victory went to who they don't expect.

FIFA will be shocked yesterday because i am 100% sure that they will not be happy with that results, which I was so happy to see Argentina falling down, and now FIFA will believe that they are not the one controlling it before because no matter what, if you are destined for anything in life nobody can stop it and that is exactly what happened in this world cup.

However everyone may have noticed that Argentina could not maintain their dominance in this match which resulted in their humiliating defeat against Spain in the World Cup final.

The way Argentina played against Spain was a complete plan to prevent them. Where Spain attacked a lot, although they played well enough, they still did not score a goal, the goalkeeper made many saves. There was a lot of competition between the two teams throughout the match, where Argentina tried to strengthen the defense most of the time. The way the Spanish team attacked was really extraordinary, especially the Argentine goalkeeper played the best, because Argentina only had to concede one goal. However, in any case, the game tried hard enough, in the end, Argentina tried hard to take the penalty shootout, but at that time there was no chance, but in the end, Spain continued to attack. However, in this World Cup, Spain has a lot of achievements in the final match, they are a strong enough team and the performance we saw from them is that they really deserved to win the World Cup.

[Sim_card]

I think that's a bit harsh finals are often cagey because both teams are afraid of making costly mistakes, spain were the better side wnd deserved the win but reducing Argentina's performance to they played like shit ignores how discipline they were defensively, As for parades emotions run high in games of that magnitude passions is part of football even if it sometimes boils over.

I wouldn't call that babaric behavior as passion for the game because his actions wouldn't change anything but make people see him as an indiscipline player that was really affected by the defeat and has no way to show it than in violence way. Assuming Argentina won the world cup would he have fought.
