Spain<\/a> have cruised through the 2026 World Cup<\/a> and find themselves waiting for Argentina<\/a> in the final.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we go any further, it’s important to mention that no game is ever won before the ball has been kicked. La Roja<\/em> were correctly favoured even before their final opponent was confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the Albiceleste<\/em> did their part in getting there in the first place. It’s just that circumstances and tactical fit will likely give the 2010 champions a certain advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So while we must not rule out any outcome before kick off, we also should acknowledge that Spain will have technical and\/or tactical leverage either way. Not to mention fitness, considering what Argentina have gone through so far. Extra time in that semi-final would have been a Spanish dream.<\/p>\n\n\n
