This Sunday, the Argentine National Team and Spain face off in the 2026 World Cup final, a match that promises to be historic. The game is being played at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, United States, starting at 4 PM (Argentine time). It can be watched live on Telefé, TyC Sports, DSports, and TV Pública, and also streaming on Disney+ Premium and Paramount+. The minute-by-minute coverage is on canchallena.com.
Argentina arrives at this final after a heart-stopping semifinal against England. Lionel Scaloni’s team was losing 1-0 with a goal by Anthony Gordon, but they recovered in dramatic fashion. In the final minutes, Enzo Fernández and Lautaro Martínez turned the score around for a 2-1 victory that sparked madness. Once again, as against Egypt in the round of 16, the Scaloneta showed they never give up.
Spain, for their part, arrive after a brilliant match against France, the top favorite. La Furia Roja completely neutralized the French, pressing high, being solid at the back, and effective up front. They won 2-0 with goals from Mikel Oyarzábal (penalty) and Pedro Porro. The Spaniards showed an overwhelming level and promise to fight until the end.
Scaloni plans to make some changes in search of a back-to-back championship and the fourth star. Gonzalo Montiel and Nicolás González gained ground after their good performances against England. Montiel replaced a lackluster Nahuel Molina, who failed in marking the English goal. Left-footer Nicolás González came in with everything and pushed until the end. The coaching staff is evaluating giving him a chance from the start, although it is still a mystery what position he would occupy, since Giuliano Simeone left a good impression and Rodrigo De Paul is also fighting to return to the starting eleven.
On the Spanish side, Luis De La Fuente would not make many changes. Pedro Porro and Lamine Yamal trained separately on Thursday but reintegrated on Friday and would start. The only doubts are Pedri and Nico Williams for Fabián Ruiz and Álex Baena, but the latter seem to have earned their starting spots with their great performance.
The final promises to be a great match. Argentina seeks its fourth star, Spain wants its second world title. Everything is decided in New Jersey.

Para mí esta final es una guerra de clases: el imperio español contra el pueblo argentino. Vamos los pibes, a romperles el culo a estos europeos soberbios. Scaloni que se deje de joder y ponga a los que tienen huevos. Esta copa es nuestra, carajo!
Para mí estos gallegos se creen que nos van a ganar? Mamita querida ni en pedo. Argentina rompe el alma como siempre. Vamos Selección carajo a dejarla toda en la cancha. Los españoles se vuelven a su casa con el culo lleno de preguntas. Esto huele a robo si ganan ellos.
