The 2026 World Cup is nearing its conclusion with an electrifying final set for Sunday in New Jersey, where Spain and Argentina will compete for the title. Both teams reached this stage after impressive victories in the semi-finals, with the Spaniards eliminating France and the Argentinians pulling off a memorable comeback against England.
European champions Spain stood out by brilliantly neutralizing France's attacking power, while Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, once again surprised by scoring two goals in eight minutes to defeat England 2-1. France and England will compete for third place tonight, a match that no fan is eager to witness.
After analyzing the 102 matches of the tournament, the ideal World Cup team was selected, lined up in a 4-3-3 formation, reflecting the best players of the competition. In goal, Vozinha, the goalkeeper from Cape Verde, stands out for having an historic campaign. At 40 years old, he kept a clean sheet against Spain in his country's World Cup debut, made eight saves in the extra-time loss to Argentina, and gained 17 million followers on Instagram, proving that the World Cup can change lives, even for countries less accustomed to such grand stages.
In defense, Pedro Porro of Tottenham has been a key player for Spain since the round of 16, scoring his first international goal against Austria and netting the team's best goal in the victory over France in the semi-finals. His partnership with Lamine Yamal on the right flank has been Spain's main offensive weapon. On the French side, Dayot Upamecano has proven to be solid and quick, especially in matches against Sweden, Paraguay, and Morocco, helping the team keep a clean sheet during the knockout stage. Aymeric Laporte has formed an impenetrable defense with young Pau Cubarsi, exhibiting remarkable calmness and accumulating numerous defensive interventions to maintain Spain's excellent record, having conceded only one goal. Marc Cucurella, often criticized for his performance at Chelsea this season, has transformed into the opposite while serving Spain, making powerful runs down the left flank and showcasing notable defensive stability.
This ideal team for the 2026 World Cup reflects not only individual talent but also the importance of teamwork and resilience, in a tournament where surprises and emotions have marked every moment. The final promises to be the culmination of this unforgettable journey, with two teams battling for the highest title in world football.
