Graeme Souness backs Spain to edge Argentina in World Cup final
Graeme Souness, the Scottish football legend and former Premier League manager, says Spain are slight favourites to beat Argentina in the World Cup final, but warns that Lionel Messi's side can dig deep and should not be written off. Speaking on Football Uncensored, Souness noted Argentina's early-game tactics try to unsettle opponents, while Spain, under Luis de la Fuente, showed their quality by beating tournament favourites France 2-0 in the semi-final. Argentina reached the final after overturning England in their semi-final clash. The final is set for Sunday in New Jersey, with Spain aiming for a second World Cup title after their 2010 win, and Argentina chasing a fourth crown and a chance to become only the third nation to defend the trophy. The losing semi-finalists, England and France, will meet in a third-place playoff on Saturday.
For Nigerian fans who follow the World Cup closely, the match offers a chance to watch elite football and possibly inform viewing plans or friendly wagers. Knowing Spain are slight favourites yet aware of Argentina's resilience can help set realistic expectations. Will you tune in for the final, back Spain's edge, or back Argentina's mental toughness to pull off an upset?
