You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Tonight at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the two thousand twenty six World Cup Final is here, and it does not get bigger than this. Spain versus Argentina, perfectly balanced all-time at six wins apiece with two draws, and now one of them walks away with football's ultimate prize. The stage is set, the world is watching.
Speaking of what's on the line financially, the winner of tonight's final takes home a record-breaking prize from FIFA, with the runner-up also pocketing a historic payout. The two thousand twenty six tournament has shattered financial benchmarks across the board, and whoever lifts that trophy tonight earns every penny of it.
And while we wait for kickoff, let's tip our cap to England's third-place performance. Jude Bellingham, already the highest-scoring midfielder in World Cup history this tournament, made a moment of pure class in the six-four win over France, sprinting to grab the ball and hand it to Bukayo Saka before he completed a hat-trick. No ego, just football. That is how you build a team.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
