Other Games - 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup Edition (+ warm-up matches): Villa-watch

[Brazilian Villain]

Spain will nick this 1-0.

I reckon Argentina would take 0-0, extra-time, and penalties if they were offered now.

Yep. I reckon Argentina will end the game (90 or 120mins) without a single shot on goal. There's simply no mechanism in their setup to create chances.

Scrappy and poor quality overall

[Exeter 77]

This reminds me a bit of the Red Star v Marseille European Cup Final in 1991 - Red Star spoiled for 120 minutes because they knew they could win on penalties.

The kid Yamal is well versed in Spanish cheatology

[Toronto Villa]

Has a side in a previous WC final or any major final ever given less than Argentina have today?

[Astral Weeks]

Spain will nick this 1-0.

Unless of course they're fortunate enough to play a team that retreats into their own penalty and allows them space and time to create as many scoring opportunities as they need.
But who'd be stupid enough to do that?

It's getting to the stage I almost want to see clips of celebrities, in particular Trump et al.

[Jane]

That bloody Argentina keeper is really annoying

[Toronto Villa]

Emi last couple of minutes not his best moments

[Chip Butty 111]

Martinez flapping like a sea lion at Sea World..

[ajmant]

Argentina will win this 1 v 0

[TopDeck113]

Emi having a mare.

[enigma]

Argentina are playing as defensively as England did against them.
