DACCA.– On the eve of the World Cup final, the capital of Bangladesh has immersed itself in the identity of the Albiceleste, adorning its buildings and streets with a sea of blue and white. Thousands of kilometers from Buenos Aires, Argentine flags hang from the rooftops of the University of Dhaka, from balconies, and from street stalls in Mohammadpur and Motijhil.
On the eve of the 2026 World Cup final, which will go down in history, football is preparing for a generational duel that will leave a legacy. This Sunday at 4:00 PM (Argentine time), Argentina and Spain will face off at the New York/New Jersey Stadium to decide the new champion. The air is thick with the tension of two similar yet distinct philosophies, both sharing a bit of the DNA of Barcelona, the club that was the cradle of the best players from both national teams.
The national teams of Argentina and Spain are two of the world’s football powers and are accustomed to being protagonists in the decisive stages of the tournaments they play. However, before the 2026 World Cup final they will play this Sunday in New Jersey, fate had only put them face to face once in an official match, and that was in a World Cup.
It had been 56 years since a footballer reached double digits in goals scored in a World Cup. The last was the German bomber Gerd Müller in 1970, with 10. This 2026 World Cup, which has only one match left, has throughout its development been favorable for breaking scoring records due to the offensive flair of several individuals, backed by teams with ambitious approaches.
The Spanish national team arrived at the 2026 United States-Mexico-Canada World Cup as one of the top favorites to win the title and fully lived up to that status, reaching the final despite a surprising start that cast doubt on their candidacy.
Lionel Messi published an emotional message on his Instagram account this Saturday on the eve of the final against Spain for the 2026 World Cup. The captain of the Argentine national team reviewed the team’s journey and thanked everyone who was part of the process led by Lionel Scaloni.
If there is a country with which Argentines have a special bond, it is Spain. The relationship dates back to the 15th century, when the Crown began the conquest of the American territory. For nearly 250 years, our lands were part of the Spanish Empire, a period that left a deep mark on language, religion, law, political organization, and traditions.
Artist María Becerra published a suggestive photo on social media amid the anticipation over who will sing the Argentine national anthem at the 2026 World Cup final against Spain this Sunday at the New Jersey stadium. The singer and songwriter was born in Quilmes, Buenos Aires province, on February 12, 2000, and after rising to fame as a content creator on YouTube, she became one of the biggest figures in pop and urban music internationally.
The match between Argentina vs. Spain can be watched LIVE on Telefe, DSports, TyC Sports, TV Pública, Disney+ Premium, and Paramount+, starting at 4:00 PM Argentine time.

che pero como van a comparar a la scaloneta con españa flacxs? para mi esto huele a cipayaje de los medios, ni milei ni los kirchos nos paran! vamos argentina carajo a romperles el orto a esos gallegos fachos dale campeon
Para mí esto huele a choreo de la FIFA, siempre los mismos arreglos. Messi es un fenómeno, pero los españoles vienen con su soberbia europea a robarnos el título. Yo creo que Argentina les tiene que romper el orto a estos galacticos de mierda. Aguante la celeste y blanca, carajo!
