## Resource

The European champions have become the world champions. Spain overcome Argentina to claim the world title for the second time. Jimbo, Tom Williams and Tim Spiers are poolside in LA one last time, with Duncan Alexander and Pol Ballus for company. An utterly dominant performance from La Roja cements Luis De La Fuente’s legacy. Can they be stopped? And will that be the end of Lionel Messi’s World Cup career? Plus we look back at our big tournament takeaways from the last 6 weeks. The goals, the drama, the government interference, the altitude and the skunk. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
