Messi in the headlining cover, we all know why, ...but that Spain player Yamal sharing top billing!!..WHY??? ...He's the teams 3rd or 4th player in Spain!! He has a poor 1 goal & 0 assists:-( Oyarzabal and Merino have been more decisive for Spain!!! Plus their defensive players also have had much more impact than Yamal. You guys have no clue:-/
@
Will FIFA really let their golden boi Messy lose? This whole tournament has been plagued by suspect officiating
@
So far every team l wanted to win a big game has lost. So I will stay neutral.

Sorry but it's STUPID and unfair to compare these teams by Lamine and Messi! Lamine has LOOONG way to go, the advantage on Spain is the team, ball control, defense, discipline and pass accuracy! This has nothing to do with Yamal alone, it's the team! Yamal is no threat to Messi.
Argentina has problem with pass accuracy, defense, repel counter-attacks, speed and ball control and I think Spain will dominate here. Unsure if Argentina can break Spain defense and if Spain will win it'll be mainly because Argentina looses not because they beat Argentina!
Spain is something else and Argentina has something else.
It'll be a unique match!

bro said 6 or 7

I didn't realize we had so many soothsayers in this forum that could predict the outcome of this game. Do you think the weather or smoke will have any effect on these 24-year-olds playing in this game. At this point, it is just dumb luck and one deciding pass or dribble that will decide this game.
@
2-1 Spain to win
@
Arguably the best?! Inarguably, I would argue....
@
Spain ! !! !!!!!!!
@
Who cares about Infantino and VAR WC!!!
@
03:32 Argentina needs to score first to have a shot. Spain completely shut down France (a very good team) and has only allowed 1 goal and 6 shutouts (insane).
@
Tagliafico is as good as Mendes. Lamin will be up for a surprise. If Messi has a good day physically( age sometimes stiff you up at around 40), Spain will be up for a surprise because Messi can read Spain better than anyone else. Looking forward to a great game.
@
Really hope Spain win , Argentina have cheated their way to another final , in fact look at how much they have cheated over the last 60 years .
@
As long as Spain does not fall into coach Tuchel's (England team's) tactical mistakes, they can exploit the holes that have been clearly revealed in Argentina's defense to bring the World Cup gold trophy back to Europe and make Messi cry.
@
The team which control the midfield better will going to win.
@
Mr Messi already got his strength diminished by his age, Spain you got this don’t let us down
@
How exactly is the wind going to blow smoke that comes from 2k miles away?
@
I’m heavily betting for Spain
@
Vs Spain, you got change your analysis.
Spain is a team that evolves spectacularly, they play better with the big teams than they do in the start of the competition.
@
Just glazing spain because of 1 game against france . Stop it saying messi just walks ... is insane stop it 🛑
@
What time please?
@
Is tomorrow? She said that at the begging.
@
this channel must have released 20 "spain vs argentina final prediction" videos lol
@
Spain 🇪🇸 will win it!!!
@
Messi hattrick and 2 assists
@
Argentina will have to score first. Coz if Spain scores first it will be very difficult for argentinas old legs to chase Spain around
@
Spain is so solid. Argentina 🇦🇷 do look so sloppy and Spain can finish the game in the first half. Spain is different from England that will defend any minute they take a lead. Yamal, Nico or Ferran are so pacy. Messi is my GOAT but they still need to be more solid at the back. Visca Barca.

Agree Argentina's best chance to win is if they score first, all the young Barcelona players playing for Spain, tend to crumble and get discouraged when their team is down on the score, it will be interesting to see how they respond in a similar situation now playing for their national team.

I’ve decided with FIFA. This match will be another 10 goals. 5-5 draw.
