Former Scottish football icon Graeme Souness has offered his perspective on the upcoming World Cup final between Spain and Argentina. Spain secured their spot in Sunday’s New Jersey final after a surprising 2-0 victory over the tournament favorites, France. Meanwhile, Argentina, the reigning champions, reached the final by overcoming England in a competitive semi-final match.
Souness, previously a manager in the Premier League, acknowledged the resilience of Lionel Messi and the Argentinian squad. Speaking on Football Uncensored, he noted that while Argentina is known for their tactical gamesmanship and mental toughness, he views Spain as the narrow favorites. He emphasized that Argentina should never be underestimated due to their grit, describing them as authentic players hailing from a resilient nation.
Argentina enters the match pursuing their fourth title and a rare back-to-back championship. Spain hopes to claim their second title, their first since 2010. Before the final, France and England will meet on Saturday for the third-place playoff match.
