SPAIN WIN THE WORLD CUP
La Roja edge Messi's Argentina in today's final to seize their second global crown
MADRID, July 20 — Spain are champions of the world, beating Argentina in a final traders priced at 59 per cent for La Roja. A young side outran Lionel Messi's last stand.
The market never wavered. Spain sat at 59 per cent all week, and the ball did the rest — patient, relentless, one goal enough on a knife-edge afternoon.
For Argentina, it was Messi's curtain. For Spain, it was a generation's arrival: their second star sewn on, and no one on the pitch old enough to remember the first.
