Argentina lost to Spain 1–0 after extra time in Sunday’s 2026 World Cup final, missing out on a historic second consecutive victory in soccer’s showpiece event, something that hasn’t been achieved since 1962 by Brazil.
La Albiceleste won’t be shocked by the defeat, though, as they were handily outplayed from the opening kickoff at MetLife Stadium. Spain completely controlled the tempo of the match, leaving Argentina to play catch-up, something even a team known for its late-game heroics could not muster.
