Spain winning the World Cup just feels right.
That opener against Cape Verde aside, they were the best team in this tournament. Beating Argentina 1-0 on Sunday, July 19, to win their second World Cup title confirms it.
One goal conceded across eight games. Goals from seven different players, including Ferran Torres, who pounced on a Nico Williams header and buried it for the game-winner in the 106th minute. That’s the dominance worthy of a World Cup champion.
Besides, Argentina had no business winning a second consecutive title, even if it would have been nice to send Lionel Messi out on top. If you can’t get off a single shot — not just a shot on goal, a shot of any kind — until stoppage time of the second overtime period, you have no business winning an AYSO tournament, let alone the World Cup.
