Argentina’s World Cup heartbreak turns into a full-blown brawl after the final whistle.
Video shows Argentina's Leandro Paredes shoving Spain's Eric Garcia to the ground before knocking over Spain midfielder Gavi as players, substitutes, and coaches from both teams rush in to break up the confrontation.
The chaotic scenes come just after Ferran Torres scores the extra-time winner to give Spain a 1-0 victory and its second World Cup title.
This clearance from Cubarsí in the 120 minute may go down as the greatest defensive play in World Cup history.
Just imagine if Argentina had scored in stoppage time and taken the game to penalties—a situation they specialize in. They could very well have gone on to win the World Cup.
Cubarsí, what a legend. ❤️
There is a 13minute video compilation on Argentina’s thuggery and attempt to rob Spain in yesterday’s World Cup finals.
No class. No sportsmanship.
Just nasty brutal senseless behaviour.
0 shots in 90mins.
The worst ever team in a World Cup final.
The Champions Who Forgot to Play Football!
Here is a statistic to frame above your fireplace and show your grandchildren: Argentina’s first shot of any kind in Sunday’s World Cup final arrived in the 115th minute, a record of futility for a World Cup. Spain finished with 20 shots to Argentina’s two, twelve on target to none. Not one. In a final. ESPN called it arguably the worst World Cup final in living memory, and that was the polite version.
NBC Sports put it plainly: Argentina were more concerned with fouling and fighting than playing football, and the way several players behaved was a disgrace that tarnished their legacy.
According to Football365, Scaloni’s men committed more first-half fouls than they completed passes into the attacking third. Their 12.29 fouls per game was, per NBC, far and away the highest of any semifinalist.
The punditry class reached for the thesaurus. “It’s a disgrace,” said Gary Neville on ITV. Alan Shearer told the BBC that Leandro Paredes “threw two or three haymakers into someone’s face” in the post-whistle brawl that earned him a red card after the final had ended. Joe Hart called it “disgusting.” Lee Dixon called it “anti-football.” Wayne Rooney simply shrugged: we’ve seen this from Argentina before.
And where was the captain? Sitting on the turf, weeping, while his teammates disgraced the shirt he made famous. Sorry, but no. A captain’s job in that moment is not to cry. It is to get up, wade into the scrum, grab the idiots by the collar and order them to behave like gentlemen. Messi shook every Spanish hand, as Hart noted, and fair play. But leadership was required, and leadership stayed seated.
Consider the route, too: a group of Algeria, Austria and Jordan, then Cape Verde in the round of 32. All the jeopardy of a heated driveway.
Spain were everything football should be. One goal conceded in eight matches, the fewest ever for a champion. Rodri took the Golden Ball, Ferran Torres the trophy. As Norwegian commentator Trond Johannessen put it: mighty scenes, but the right outcome. The victory bandits were finally caught.
Wherever Argentina play next, anywhere on Earth, they will walk out to a wall of boos. They earned every decibel.

Keep sharing guys. Rahul Gandhi’s secret family is exposed. His secret vacations every month are exposed.
There’s nothing wrong in having a family.
Why the secrecy? What’s so secret about his family?
A moment of introspection for the educated Bengalis of Medinipur who supported the BJP.
They perhaps never imagined that this Jantar Mantar movement would so quickly push them onto the darker pages of Indian history.

कोटा के बाद आज देहरादून में विपक्ष के नेता राहुल गांधी ने पेपर लीक और शिक्षा के मुद्दे पर एक अलग अंदाज़ में लोगों से संवाद किया।
वीडियो में देख सकते हैं कि आज LoP के साथ @abhinaymaths ने भी मंच साझा किया और उन्होंने अपनी बात बहुत ही शानदार तरीके से रखी।
ये कानपुर की आर्या सिंह हैं, जिनका कहना है कि Re-NEET के रिजल्ट में गड़बड़ी और धांधली हुई है।
आर्या ने बताया 👇
• OMR शीट के अनुसार उसे 609 नंबर मिलने चाहिए थे
• लेकिन Re-NEET के रिजल्ट में उसे 540 नंबर मिले
ऐसे में आर्या का पूरा परिवार परेशान हो गया। सभी लोग बार-बार वेबसाइट चेक करने लगे। इसी बीच रात 2 बजे आर्या के नंबर 540 से घटकर अचानक 167 हो गए।
👉 मतलब 540 नंबर, अपने आप ही 167 हो गए
शिक्षा मंत्री धर्मेंद्र प्रधान जी.. क्या यही है वो 'व्यवस्था', जिसके लिए आपने एयरफोर्स लगवाकर Re-NEET करवाया था।
छात्रों की मेहनत बर्बाद हो रही है, परिवार परेशान हो रहे हैं, सपने टूट रहे हैं- जिसके लिए आप और आपका घटिया सिस्टम जिम्मेदार है।
आपको एक मिनट भी पद पर रहने का हक नहीं है- थोड़ी शर्म कीजिए और इस्तीफा दीजिए।
