Alcaraz was there watching when Spain won
the World Cup. It was a well-deserved victory
as Spain played much better overall.

Argentina was like England in the semifinals,
desperately trying to defend only. When Spain
scored 1-0 lead, after that Argentina tried some
offense but with bad results.

Argentina was totally outclassed. Messi wasn't on the pitch, it seemed.
Total shots 2 (against 20), neither of the 2 on target. Argentina had possession a bit in their own half. Not for long, usually. Spain was
robbed of a goal. Argentinians were over-represented in play-acting,
shirt yanking and in outright hoodlumming. Which eventually cost them
the red card. And another after full-time. Plenty was left not whistled.

Thanks goes to upstairs for not letting it go to penalties. If 1/20 is
in, that's always a possibility. Spain maybe lacks really really good
scorers. Hard to say. But the depth is outstanding. All sorts of people
off the bench can decide it for them.

Trump was awkward, as you'd expect. He positively hated the boo-boos,
good to see. Somebody's going to pay.

I expected Argentina to be toothless against Spain, but not that
toothless. Maybe France-Spain was moral final after all. (Or Cap Verde-Spain???)

All congrats to Spain, best team by a huge margin.
