Spain beats Argentina to win second World Cup title
Spain defeated defending champions Argentina 1-0 on Sunday to win its second World Cup title, with Ferran Torres scoring the decisive goal in the 106th minute of an otherwise scoreless match. Spanish captain Rodri was awarded the Golden Ball as best player, while goalkeeper Unai Simon received the Golden Glove after conceding only one goal in eight games. The Golden Boot went to France's Kylian Mbappe, who scored 10 goals in the tournament, outpacing Argentina's Lionel Messi with eight. The article notes that Spain's airtight defense left Messi without answers, and only Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez's near-perfect performance prevented a larger defeat. President Donald Trump was loudly booed as he entered the field to hand out medals. The 2030 men's World Cup will be primarily co-hosted by Morocco, Portugal, and Spain, while Saudi Arabia is widely expected to host the 2034 competition. The next Women's World Cup is scheduled for Brazil.
