🏆 Spain take the World Cup. Argentina down to ten.

Ferran Torres off the bench. 106th minute. Spain 1-0 over Argentina in extra time. Enzo Fernandez sent off late. Second yellow for a clumsy foul. Argentina played all extra time a man down. Messi's last dance ends with a red card and a loss.--19

Possession merchants will tell you Spain controlled it. They did. But Argentina offered nothing going forward. No bite. No counter. Martinez kept them in it until he couldn't. That red card killed any hope of a response.-19

Next up? Spain's odds for the next major tournament will be short. Too short. Leave it. The market will overprice them. Watch how they handle a real press. That's the test.-
