Spain is the champion!

How did the World Cup end there? Super short

Who is the champion? Spain! Full time of the final with Argentina ended in a goalless draw, with Ferran Torres scoring the only goal in the 106th minute. Spain dominated the entire match: 20 shots, 12 of them on target, while Argentina had zero shots on target in the entire 120 minutes.

A separate fan fact . Spain became world champion for the second time in its history - and equaled France and Uruguay in this indicator. The first time Spain won the World Cup was in 2010 - and also with a score of 1:0 in extra time. Argentina has three titles left, ahead of Italy and Germany (four each) and Brazil (five).

What will they talk about for a long time ? About the 27-minute break. The rumors that appeared a couple of days before the final were true: FIFA, contrary to its own rules, lengthened the break almost twice in order to accommodate both a music show and advertising. The performance was epic: Madonna (supported by Ronaldo and Ronaldinho), BTS, Jason Sudekis as Ted Lasso, Justin Bieber - and of course, Shakira. One can have different views on FIFA’s willingness to move the timing of the match for the sake of non-football activities, but one thing is almost certain: such half-time shows in finals will soon become a familiar standard.

Next in the program . In 2030, the Spaniards will defend the world champion title on their own field - Spain will become the host of the 2030 World Cup along with Portugal and Morocco. This will be the 24th World Cup - and it will take place exactly one hundred years after the very first World Cup.
