After over a month of action, the World Cup comes to a close on Sunday night as Spain and Argentina meet in the final at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.Spain came into the competition as the favourites but some uninspiring displays in the group stages saw them drop behind France in the betting. La Roja were the underdogs ahead of their semi-final with Les Bleus but they ultimately claimed a fairly comfortable 2-0 win, as they made France’s fearsome attack look incredibly ordinary.Argentina are bidding to become just the third team to win back-to-back World Cups after their triumph in Qatar four years ago. Italy were the first team to achieve that feat in 1934 and 1938, followed by Brazil in 1958 and 1962. The South Americans have now reached three of the last four finals but they are the clear underdogs for the 2026 showpiece.Like Spain, Argentina were the underdogs for their semi-final clash with England and for large periods of that game they were very much second best. The Three Lions took the lead early in the second half but Thomas Tuchel’s decision to adopt a more defensive approach backfired spectacularly as Argentina scored two late goals to complete a comeback.
