The 2026
FIFA World Cup final features defending champions Argentina against Euro 2024
winners Spain, kicking off at 3 p.m. ET in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Argentina's
lineup stars 39-year-old captain Messi up top with Julián Álvarez, anchored by
Lisandro Martínez in defense, while Spain fields Rodri and Fabián Ruiz in
midfield with teen winger Yamal dazzling on the wing.
Off the pitch, fans gripe about $12,000 resale tickets and chuckle at a 2021 post 'predicting' Argentina's 3-2 win, as Messi chases the Golden Boot.
