"A team like Argentina refusing to play football is absolutely disgraceful." Gareth Wheeler sounds off on the losing team's approach against Spain, as Lionel Messi & co. managed to do a whole lot of nothing for 120 minutes of football

This is what happens when an average team is pushed by FIFA to reach the final all because someone loves someone

I don't know why people are surprised. This is what happens when a team gets to the final with an easy path and the referees on their side. This current Argentina squad is just Messi and some average guys. If not for Martinez the game would've been over in regulation.

It's good to see that the whole world can see this #Argentina team for what it is; a bunch of nasty thugs who don't play football, other than passing the ball to Messi. The right team won the #WorldCup. Viva España! 🇪🇸

WHEN YOU FALL INTO REALITY.. About one team making it to the final.. And the other being carried to the final..

This World Cup has exposed how ignorant and stupid people are. Spain and Argentina just finished a World Cup final and not one of these people can break down how Spain played. They are literally minimizing Spain’s win and making it about the losers. Stop it, you need to applaud the winners and lift them. All you’re doing is feeding hate and negativity of this final. Fucken stop it

They needed FIFA and referee but the world was watching the couldn’t help anymore

😂😂😂 the player of all time is back to arguably, yesterday he was the greatest of all time.

It's not their fault. Spain have fit players who press you all over the pitch without allowing you any space to think of play

Look how bitter and upset they are that Argentina lost instead of talking about Spain and how they outclassed them. I mean zero shots on goal come on now they didn’t deserve to be on the final.

Umm excuse me? They didn't refuse to play football. Spain utterly demolished these fukin cheaters. Not a single shot on target 🤣, and your greatest of all time didn't even get a touch in the first half . Football won, cheaters lost. They robbed France in 2022 but not this time

The winning game was England v France .. what a match both them teams won 3rd and 4th was the World Cup for me .. went to bed before match finished … disgraceful team !!! They only got there through cheating fifa and refs !!!

Spain’s victory helps reaffirm the UEFA European Championship as the great tournament it is, despite the awful comments from our American haters.

Ok genius doesn’t this what happens in the superbowl? This is what America does. I know it’s not football but coming from an American is funny.

@Kall_essy Argentina 🇦🇷 remains a weak team Imagine with zero shots on target

I could agree if Spain did that only to Argentina. When we did it to France, Portugal, Argentina, and so on, maybe it's not the opponent's demerit but merit of Spain, making his rivals look less than they really are.

He’s right with his last point at the end with the atmosphere being trash but that’s how it is though. At the Super Bowl u don’t have real fans u just have rich suits/celebs. UFC, WWE, etc.. pricing out its real fanbase. Streamers r also taking over they just go for views.

I absolutely disgraceful the fact that FIFA went along with this bullshit is too much

Gareth, how do you stop a team that had conceded only one goal in the entire tournament and were unbeaten in 37 games? The plan was working up until Enzo Fernandez got the red card.

It's not like they refused to play football, they tried but Spain was just too good France played offence and gave Spain more spaces, same happened today when Argentina tried to press for a bit There's nth this Argentina team could do

What about France, you fucks? France lost 2-0 with 11 men. And Spain made France look like ass. Be little Argentina all you want but this is about Spain not Argentina.

“how did they even get there” “how did they win in 2022”??? because they robbed netherlands in 2022, robbed egypt and that messi red card vs algeria wasn’t given. they don’t even meet top teams in europe ffs😭🔥

Argentina and Messi got to the finals with the help of FIFA and the referees. FIFA wanted to rigg the game for Messi but Spain did all they could not to allow it. Spain saved the face of football.

It’s called Italian style football, it’s not that uncommon

He forgot to mention the clear goals that were canceled 😞. Very nonsense, overrated team called Argentina

It is better for argentina to lose, if they win, their arrogance will exceed that of the Pharaoh.!!!!

Oh no, just another media outlet pandering to the dip shits on Twitter. Media has gone to shit. Argentina toe the line sure, but they legit made it to the final their way. Spain did what they had done all tournament and dominated possession and had a defensive wall.

Argentina was simply playing to hold the game to penalty kick out and win. They believe the would win the Penalty shot out with Martinez in goal. The goal by Spain spoilt their plans.

"Over produced and under-delivered" Great way to summarize the World Cup 2026. It was all about entertainment and revenue. Not competition or genuine athleticism. It's only going to get worse in future World Cup tournaments. Just don't watch it.

Hey, Spain played like no other, and the knew exactly how to deal with the nonsense of violence that Argentina players wanted to resort to. They moved the ball neatly to the point where pessi mates didn't know who to attack 😆

They expected to win on a penalty shootout at the end after doing nothing.

Russia and Morocco eliminated Spain playing this exact way the last two WCs

What a fucking idiot I’m pretty sure the world enjoyed that final this guys a Messi fan
