FIFA World Cup: Defending champions Argentina will take on the European winners Spain in the final of the biggest-ever FIFA World Cup, with the 104th match to be played at the MetLife Stadium on Monday (IST).
Spain reached the final after outclassing favourites France in the semi-finals. Luis de la Fuente's side controlled the match from start to finish, suffocating the high-powered France attack through long spells of possession and precise finishing.
That semi-final match against Les Bleus was the high point of Spain's campaign so far. La Roja began their World Cup adventure by topping Group H, although it wasn't all smooth sailing. Surprise package Cabo Verde held them to a scoreless draw in their opening match before De la Fuente's men made up for their slow start by putting four past Saudi Arabia and then rounding off their group stage with a 1-0 victory over a feisty Uruguay.
