Spain Edge Argentina in Extra Time

One goal. That's all it took. Spain 1-0 Argentina, settled in extra time after ninety minutes couldn't split them. A final that went the distance and came down to the finest of margins.

Nothing to separate these two through regulation, which tells you everything about the contest. Two heavyweights, neither willing to blink, until Spain found the moment that mattered. Argentina go home with nothing to show for a night that could have gone either way.

Argentina, though. Say what you like about a single-goal defeat, but this is the country of Maradona in '86, of Messi finally lifting it in Qatar, of that sky-blue and white that means more than most. Heartbreak today, but few nations carry a heavier trophy case of memories. Draft Argentina, give it another spin, and see if you can go one better and go unbeaten.
