Argentina had Enzo Fernandez sent off in their World Cup final defeat to Spain, but Lionel Scaloni refused to pin the blame on the referee. The post Scaloni refuses to blame officiating for Argentina’s World Cup final defeat appeared first on SoccerNews.
After the 2026 World Cup win, Spain legend Carles Puyol stated that Argentina reached the final "thanks to Lionel Messi." Spain has once again claimed global soccer supremacy, securing its second World Cup title in a 1-0 victory over an Argentina squad that was thoroughly outplayed from kickoff to the final whistle. Following the match, Spanish legend Carles Puyol offered a blunt assessment of the final, arguing that the Albiceleste reached the championship match solely “thanks to Lionel Messi.“ With its signature possession-based style, Spain neutralized Argentina’s attack, holding the defending champions without a single shot on target throughout 120 minutes. The offensive outage came as a shock, given that Argentina entered the match as one of the tournament’s top-scoring teams with 19 goals, trailing only France and England (20 apiece), who padded their tallies during a wild 6-4 third-place playoff. Speaking to DAZN, Puyol lauded his former Barcelona teammate while emphasizing just how much the team relied on him: “If this Argentina team reached the final, it is thanks to Messi. I don’t want to talk about previous World Cups, but in this one they held onto Messi and he carried them all the way to the final. It wasn’t enough to become champions, but no—I hat’s off to him.“ As the captain who raised Spain’s first World Cup trophy in 2010, Puyol watched Messi evolve from a teenage prodigy at Barcelona into a global superstar. Decades later, the 39-year-old playmaker delivered another vintage tournament run, though it ultimately wasn’t enough to compensate for a lineup that proved overly reliant on its iconic captain. Lionel Messi of FC Barcelona walks with former teammate Carles Puyol. Puyol closed his remarks with a heartfelt tribute to his former teammate .”I will be eternally grateful to Leo Messi for everything he gave us as a teammate and also for everything he has given to football, and I will always wish him the very best,” the former defender concluded. Messi’s statistical dominance for Argentina in North America While players like Julian Alvarez, Lautaro Martinez, Enzo Fernandez, and Cristian Romero delivered clutch moments during the knockout stages, Messi remained the statistical engine driving Argentina’s entire campaign. The Inter Miami star led Argentina across virtually every major offensive category during the tournament, finishing top on the team in goals (8), assists (4), shots per game (4.4), shots on target per game (2.3), big chances created (8), key passes per game (3.3), and successful dribbles per game (3.5). Conversely, Messi also led the team in dispossessions, losing possession 19.4 times per match. Rather than a flaw, that stat underscored just how heavily Argentina’s attack funnelled through their captain, a burden he embraced as he consistently created goals out of thin air throughout their final run.
Spain defeated Argentina to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup title, thanks to Ferran Torres' last-gasp winner. After the match, Dani Olmo strongly criticized his opponents, emphasizing that values are what matter most. After establishing as the most consistent team, Spain defeated Argentina to become the 2026 FIFA World Cup winners. Showing clear superiority throughout the match, they prevented their opponents from registering a single shot on target over 120 minutes. After the game, Dani Olmo delivered a strong criticism of Lionel Scaloni’s team, putting the values that should be displayed on the pitch at the center of the discussion. At the end of the match, Leandro Paredes was involved in a fight with Gavi and more Spain players. Following this, he received a straight red card and faces a possible suspension, as it was such a direct act of aggression. Alongside him, Nicolás Otamendi was involved in a tense exchange of words with Rodri Hernández, reproaching him for his statements during the week. Following this, Dani Olmo decided to make a very direct criticism. “We don’t care that they didn’t look at us during the medal ceremony. In the end, I think what matters is the values you want to convey to the outside world. We are role models for many generations, for many boys and girls, and I think they should also set an example in every way, and for the better,” Dani Olmo said in the post-game interview. Unlike Argentina, Spain relied on a collective style of play, based on long possession and high pressing. Demonstrating their superiority on the pitch, they did not usually make aggressive tackles, relying instead on showing it with the ball. This was even reflected in the match, as Enzo Fernández was sent off toward the end of the second half after a strong challenge on the opponent, something that was heavily criticized by the Spanish players. Leandro Paredes #5 of Argentina and Eric Garcia #4 of Spain fight on field. Leandro Paredes could face a severe sanction by FIFA After the final whistle from referee Slavko Vinčić, Leandro Paredes was involved in a major fight with Eric García and Pablo Gavi. Following this, the 32-year-old midfielder received a straight red card. However, FIFA could impose a significant suspension if it officially opens disciplinary proceedings. For this, the referee’s match report will be crucial, as it could determine the situation. According to the FIFA Disciplinary Code: “Players and officials shall be suspended as specified below, and may also be fined accordingly… (i) at least three matches or an appropriate period for assaulting (including elbowing, punching, kicking or biting; spitting at or striking) an opponent or any other person other than a match official.” Leandro Paredes could face a suspension of more than three matches if FIFA considers it a serious act of aggression against two direct opponents. In addition, this could also be extended to Ramón Ayala, Lionel Scaloni’s assistant coach, and even Nahuel Molina. Therefore, Dani Olmo’s comments appear to be based on real events; rather than being simple criticism, they are a reflection on aggressive play.

It was the triumph of an idea, an identity. Of an unshakable and patient faith. And when it was over, Spain’s new generation having emulated the one from the 2010 World Cup, all of those legendary names, there was simply delirium for them.Spain were the only team that turned up to play this World Cup final, from the first whistle to the last in extra time. Argentina were damned by their lack of ambition even before they had Enzo Fernández sent off towards the end of the regulation time. It was extraordinary to report that they did not have an attempt on goal until the 115th minute. Continue reading...
Argentina's physical play was a theme of Sunday's World Cup final and for much of its run throughout the tournament. Ultimately, it cost Argentina as it played a man down in extra time of Spain's 1-0 victory.
As both nations prepare for an emotional farewell to the tournament, supporters are eager to discover how the two star forwards fit into the plans for a match that few teams ever want to play. France and England have one final opportunity to leave the 2026 World Cup with a positive result, but one question has dominated the buildup to the third-place playoff: will Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane take the field? As both nations prepare for an emotional farewell to the tournament, supporters are eager to discover how the two star forwards fit into the plans for a match that few teams ever want to play. While Kylian Mbappe continues his pursuit of another Golden Boot and Harry Kane remains one of England’s biggest attacking threats, both teams enter the contest carrying the disappointment of semifinal exits. The match offers a chance to finish on a high despite falling just short of the World Cup final. Both national teams entered the knockout stage with genuine ambitions of lifting the trophy, but instead find themselves competing for third place in Miami. France suffered a 2-0 defeat to Spain in the semifinals after being widely viewed as one of the tournament favorites. England‘s exit proved even more painful, surrendering a second-half lead before Argentina scored twice late through Enzo Fernández and Lautaro Martinez to secure a 2-1 victory.

Kylian Mbappe will start for France, but Harry Kane has been benched. Although neither side wanted to be involved in the third-place playoff, individual honors have added another layer of intrigue. The Frenchman enters the match tied on eight goals with Lionel Messi, although the Argentine currently leads the Golden Boot race thanks to the assists tiebreaker. Another goal would also move the French captain closer to matching the all-time World Cup scoring record. Kylian Mbappe of France (R) and Harry Kane of England (L) On the other hand, the English star remains in contention as well after an impressive tournament, while Jude Bellingham has also enjoyed an outstanding scoring campaign. England, therefore, still has attacking incentives despite missing out on the final. France vs England: Confirmed lineups France confirmed XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Gusto, Konaté, Lacroix, Theo Hernández; Zaïre-Emery, Rabiot; Olise, Cherki, Doué; Mbappé. England confirmed XI (4-2-3-1): Henderson; Quansah, Konsa, Guéhi, Spence; Rice, Eze; Saka, Rogers, Rashford; Toney.
