Spain is very good at this thing: they will keep pressing your team, and they will keep defending. Just when you thought the game is about going into extra time or penalty kick, booomm, they've scored and there's hardly enough time for your team to do anything.
Ask Netherlands in 2010 world cup final (116th) just 4 minutes to penalty shootout.
Portugal also had a taste of that in this world cup (90+1'), just when Ronaldo and co were preparing for extra time.

My pick: Argentina wins 2-1
Why?
Argentina's experience and clutch mentality as defending champions, with Messi delivering in knockouts (8 goals already this tournament).
Spain's young squad has been dominant defensively (one goal conceded) but Argentina has shown they can grind out results against high-possession teams.
Messi's leadership and set-piece threat edge it in a tight final.

A former Chelsea coach had led England to a third place finish for the first time after several attempts.
Winning trophies or finishing strong is a Chelsea thing though.

In the end, Thomas Tuchel did what Sven-Gรถran Eriksson,
Steve McClaren,
Fabio Capello,
Roy Hodgson,
Sam Allardyce,
Gareth Southgate, to name a few, couldn't do over the years.
Congratulations to him...
