SPAIN WANTS EVERYTHING, THE CUCKOLD PROMISES A TATTOO AND THE END

For too long, a footballing nation like Spain waited for the world crown, and then the immortal generation that became world champion in 2010 finally reached it.

“La Roha” now, with some new masters and 16 years later, wants it all again, wants to unite the crowns of the Old Continent and the planet.

- World Cup, Euro... What else can you win after that? I would call the coach on Monday and tell him that I am ending my career in the national team - he said Mark Kukurelja.

The Spanish defender, who will turn 28 three days after the final, also has interesting promise.

- If we win, I'll get a tattoo of the coach's face. Luis de la Fuente. Yes, and I will announce my retirement from the national team.

De la Fuente's team grew as the tournament went on, and then in the semi-final against the much-vaunted France, they showed just how powerful a team they were.

- Messi is the best of all time, and Argentina is much more than him. However, we are the team that plays the best team football - there is no doubt about it Rodri, midfielder of the "Furious".

Their coach emphasized that a place in the World Cup final is already a privilege.

- I would sign that we play the World Cup final every time, even if we lose it. Of course we want to win, but above all we want to enjoy this moment. We have a great rival waiting for us who has had a spectacular journey - pointed out De la Fuente.

MESSI: I QUIT THE GAME FOUR YEARS AGO

By the time he was 35, Messi was already one of the greatest of all time, but with many failures in Argentina's beloved jersey.

And then in Qatar he finally managed to bring his country the biggest trophy, and finally peace for himself. Everything after that is obviously a bonus.

When one of the journalists at the press conference said that the life of the "wizard from Rosario" is like a video game in which he always unlocks new levels, Messi responded.

- I finished that game four years ago at the World Cup in Qatar.

Two phenomenal teams will fight for the Golden Goddess, it is difficult to determine the favorite, although there are those who assign that role to the European selection.

- What worries me about Spain? Everything. It's a great team, it has exceptional players, a clear style of play and a coach who has instilled in them a recognizable identity - he explained Lionel Scalloni, the selector who created the new great “gauchos”.
