Get absolutely wrecked Argentina! Justice finally gets served for all Argentina’s bullshit and dirty shenanigans, and Egypt in particular gets some measure of revenge.
Messi is a great player, but even he can’t carry that bunch of dirty hacks to WC glory.
Massive credit to Spain. They’ve had a great tournament and deserve this WC.
Fuck Argentina, they’ve played dirty football this entire World Cup. Watch them lose was fantastic
Not sure wtf is Argentina playing but it’s not football, dirty plays all around. They absolutely don’t deserve to win. I didn’t like any previous games from Spain, but at least in this one they aren’t doing 11man defense constantly.
Tough watch. It was never going to be a classic when one team has no intention of playing football.
As a Spain fan I’m very happy, but this game has shortened my lifespan. A shame to see the Argentinians stoop so low in their play.
Very deserves by spain. They put in all the effort, took all the shots but only had to get one (or two) in. Argentina was just playing for penalty and once they were behind they were punished for exclusively relying on Messi. Spain on the other hand was an all around great team
Cagey game, but Argentina need to change something if they want to have a chance in the second half.
Spain [1] - 0 Argentina - Ferran Torres 106’

I’m not sure Spain have done enough to shore up against the 80th minute when Messibot 9000 turns on and starts playing soccer.
Messibot 9000 is active and patrolling the pitch, but I’m not sure if he has enough to do it against this Spanish defense in extra time. I think the conditions favor the Spanish, though I’m deeply biased.
Looks like Spain had Scott Sterling as their Messibot defender.
