What a match. Spain played with passion and determination from start to finish, and they earned this historic victory. Argentina also gave a strong performance and showed why they are one of football’s great nations. Congratulations to both teams for giving fans a memorable final. I also commend FIFA, and the people of the United States, Mexico and Canada for hosting a wonderful tournament that brought the world together through football. Football is truly the world’s game. It has a unique way of bringing people together through a shared love of sport. We look forward to Jamaica’s return to football’s biggest stage. Until then, we celebrate excellence, sportsmanship and the joy that this beautiful game continues to bring to millions around the world.

Troopz says England and Arsenal player Noni Madueke puts on a “badman” persona, despite growing up in Barnet and attending private school 😬

This makes a mockery of the whole tournament. If the USMNT win, Belgium will have every right to feel cheated, meanwhile the USA’s victory - by their best ever generation of players - will forever be tainted by accusations of favouritism and corruption. It’s bad for everyone.
