IS. IT!By Amanda ShalalaHello everyone, I’m Amanda Shalala at New York New Jersey Stadium today for this game.There was an unbelievable buzz around Manhattan last night, I was in Times Square as thousands of Argentines completely took over and were frankly creating beautiful chaotic scenes for hours.Similarly Spanish fans gathered around Madison Square Garden and the High Line for their own hype fest.Today I’ve been chatting to fans outside the stadium, there were some Aussies who wouldn’t disclose how much they paid for tickets but said it was a lifelong dream to attend a men’s World Cup final.There were many others who didn’t have tickets, including some going the conventional route offering money, but others were choosing to try and manifest someone giving them a freebie. Don’t think it’s going to happen but gotta respect the hustle.(ABC Sport)Mon 20 Jul 2026 at 3:55amMon 20 Jul 2026 at 3:55amHappy World Cup final dayBy Simon Smale(Getty Images)Hello everyone and welcome to ABC Sport's live coverage of the FIFA World Cup final.My name is Simon Smale and I am your eyes and ears this morning ahead of what promises to be a spectacular occasion in New Jersey.Amanda Shalala will be giving us updates from Metlife Stadium, as Argentina look to become the first team to go back-to-back since Brazil in 1962, while Spain are hoping to add a second World Cup crown to their tally.The tournament's closing ceremony has been and gone, so full focus on the two teams now.
