The 2026 World Cup concludes this evening as Spain and Argentina meet in the final, pitting the reigning world champions against the European Championship holders.
Match Preview
Spain stunned popular favourites France in the semi-final, winning 2-0 thanks to goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Tottenham's Pedro Porro. They now face an even tougher test as they look to clinch their second World Cup title, and first since 2010.
Argentina, who beat France in the final last time out in Qatar, have made a habit of leaving it late to win matches this year. They required extra time to beat Cape Verde in the last-32, overturned Egypt's two-goal advantage in the last-16, and again came from behind to beat England in the semi-final. A 3-1 defeat of Switzerland in the quarter-finals also necessitated extra time.
