The stage is set for the biggest match in world football. This Sunday, defending champion Argentina takes on Spain in the FIFA World Cup Final after both nations survived a grueling month-long tournament.
Argentina punched its ticket with a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over England in the semifinals, scoring twice in the closing minutes. Spain earned its place by defeating France 2-0, continuing an impressive run that included knockout wins over Portugal and Belgium.
Canada also enjoyed one of its best World Cup performances ever. The Canadians advanced to the Round of 16 after defeating South Africa in the opening knockout round, before their tournament came to an end with a 3-nil loss to Morocco. It marked another significant step forward for the Canadian program on home soil.
Now, only one match remains. Spain will look to capture another World Cup title, while Argentina is aiming to become the first nation in nearly 70 years to win back-to-back World Cups.
Kickoff is Sunday at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
