This is the same reason, links of Guardiola to the Italy manager's job is equally a joke. How can you leave the rigors of the Premier League for a role that has no head or tail. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

🚨🇮🇹 Paolo Maldini and Leonardo RESIGN from their roles as Italy Federation technical director and advisor.

Decision to leave the project just 10 days after joining due to president Malagò being against appointing Andrea Pirlo as new head coach for Italian national team.

The president didn’t approve Pirlo due to his connections with Russian brands; Maldini and Leonardo only wanted Pirlo and leave their roles immediately.

Congratulations Spain, who win the World Cup for the second time after beating Argentina 1-0! 👏🇪🇸

Pau Cubarsi is the first ever Spanish player to win the FIFA Young Player Award at the men's World Cup.

He's the first defender to win the award since Manuel Amoros in 1982.🏆

@Undisputed_Jsam Why am I reading this as a shade on Argentina and Messi supporters? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Time stood still for Ferran Torres 📸

0 - Argentina are the first ever team to fail to have a single shot in 90 minutes in a FIFA World Cup final.

Blanks.

[OptaJoe @OptaJoe]

1 - Spain have conceded just one goal in their eight games at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the fewest goals conceded by any team in a World Cup winning campaign.

Immovable.

[OptaJoe @OptaJoe]

4 - Argentina have finished as runners up at the FIFA World Cup for the fourth time (also 1930, 1990, 2014), the joint-most of any side, along with Germany.

Agony.

[OptaJoe @OptaJoe]

2 - Spain’s Ferran Torres was just the second substitute to score the winning goal in a FIFA World Cup final, after Germany’s Mario Götze in 2014, which also came against Argentina.

Repeat.

[OptaJoe @OptaJoe]

38 - Spain are now unbeaten in their last 38 matches in all competitions, the longest ever run by any European or South American team in history.

Premier.

[OptaJoe @OptaJoe]

1 - 19-year-old Pau Cubarsí led all players in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final for:

Touches (139)
Passes successful (121)
Passing accuracy (96%)
Line-breaking passes (21)
Clearances (6)

Unfazed.

Now the FIFA-backing-Argentina conspiracy can be put to rest forever. World peace has prevailed. Thanks once again to the universe.🙏 #FIFAWorldCup

[Kunle FAYIGA @kfayiga]

@VicxIntheBox I no lie. 🤣🤣🤣

[Kunle FAYIGA @kfayiga]

Paraguay were being heavily criticised for being anti-football at this #FIFAWorldCup. With what I've seen from Argentina in this final, Paraguay are calm. 😂😂😂

Thank goodness Spain have finally broken the Argentines after all the toiling. What an intense match.

[Kunle FAYIGA @kfayiga]

At long last. There can be world peace. Thank you universe. 🙏 #FIFAWorldCup

[Kunle FAYIGA @kfayiga]

Got to give it to Luis dela Fuente. Seeing how he has succeeded with a chunk of these Spain players from the different age grades to the senior team is beyond phenomenal and well-deserved. #FIFAWorldCup

[Kunle FAYIGA @kfayiga]

Happy that Mbappe ends as top scorer in North America and also the all-time leading #FIFAWorldCup scorer.

[Statman Dave @StatmanDave]

10 goals
4 assists

Kylian Mbappé wins the World Cup Golden Boot, becoming the first player ever to go back-to-back. 💫

This #FIFAWorldCup final reminds me of the 2014 edition in Brazil. That Mario Gotze goal in extra time. I was over the moon. Not a big fan of Spain, can't stand possession play, but they deserve this win.
