Daniel Tiluk and Have Hope discuss the 2026 World Cup final, Spain 1-0 Argentina. Spain were the best team. Why wasn't there better opposition? Was Rodri better at the tournament than Lionel Messi? Can a final detract from the whole competition. Did Argentina sour their tournament with their reaction after the game?
