THE SPAIN VS ARGENTINA FINAL WAS AN EXTREMELY CAGEY AFFAIR WITH NEITHER SIDE ABLE TO GET PAST EACH OTHER, IN THE FIRST 90 MINS. SPAIN MADE 803 PASSES, WTH A 90% PASS ACCURACY, AND HAD 20 SHOTS WITH 11 ON-TARGET, (PLUS 68% POSSESSION) IN THE FIRST 90 MINS., WITH ARGENTINA MAKING 445 PASSES, WITH A 78% PASS ACCURACY, AND 3 SHOTS WITH O ON TARGET! AND IT WAS EXTREEEEMELY PHYSICAL WITH MUCH ‘ARGEY-BARGEY’. INDEED, ARGENTINA MADE 24 FOULS, RECEIVED 5 YELLOW CARDS, AND 1 RED CARD FOR ENZO FERNANDEZ AT 90 +3 MINS. AND SPAIN MADE 21 FOULS, RECEIVED 0 YELLOW CARDS, AND 0 RED CARDS IN THE FIRST 90 MINS. !
SO, AFTER 90 MINS. IT WAS 0 – 0 AND WENT ONTO EXTRA TIME, WITH ARGENTINA NOW DOWN TO 10 MEN FOLLOWING FERNANDEZ’ RED CARDED CHALLENGE ON PAU CUBARSI. (WITH MANY NOW WONDERING WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THIS NOW WENT ON TO PENALTIES…)
BUT SHORTLY AFTERWARDS, IN THE 106TH MINUTE, FERRAN TORRES SCORED A SUBLIME GOAL FOR SPAIN, (ABLY ASSISTED BY NICO WILLIAMS), SENDING DECIBELS OF CHEERS AROUND THE STADIUM FROM THE SPANISH FANS! MANY CONGRATULATIONS TO SPAIN!
