The biggest football debate is here.

As Spain and Argentina prepare for the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, two well-known voices have picked different winners—setting the stage for an unforgettable showdown.

Spain will face Argentina in the World Cup final on Sunday, July 19, at the New York New Jersey Stadium, with millions of football fans around the world eagerly waiting for kick-off.

Former England captain Alan Shearer believes Argentina have what it takes to lift the trophy. He praised Spain's quality but said Argentina's fighting spirit and the presence of Lionel Messi could make the difference.

"They have encountered some truly challenging situations... There is something admirable about their tenacity. And with Messi on your side, you always have a chance," Shearer said.

Meanwhile, Nigeria's Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, is backing Spain to win. However, he admitted that Messi remains the one player capable of changing everything with a moment of brilliance.

The final brings together Spain's impressive unbeaten run and Argentina's resilience under pressure, making it one of the most anticipated matches of the tournament.
Football fans are divided—but only 90 minutes will decide who lifts the World Cup.
