World Cup Final: Spain vs Argentina

After 102 games, the 2026 World Cup final will be between Spain and Argentina in New Jersey, with England's performance under scrutiny.

After 102 games of the tournament, football correspondent Nick Ames confirms the 2026 World Cup final will feature Spain against Argentina in New Jersey. Addressing concerns about England's inconsistent performance, Ames acknowledged the team's patchy displays but noted that most teams struggled against well-drilled opponents like Croatia, Mexico, and Ghana.

Ames suggested Spain or Argentina will ultimately win the tournament, though neither may have maintained consistent control throughout. He defended England's approach against Argentina, pointing out the challenges of defensive gameplay against such craft opponents and questioning how many England players are accustomed to playing at the back at domestic level. mchezo.co.za
