Argentina's players lash out in defeat, Ferran Torres becomes a Spanish icon forever, and Donald Trump attempts to crash the winners' party. Here are today's quick hits.1. Ferran Torres. Remember the nameThe surest way to ensure your name lives forever in the annals of football history is to score the winner in a World Cup final. With a brilliantly struck half-volley in the 106th minute of the 2026 final, Spain's Ferran Torres joined that illustrious group.Spain had dominated the game. It had ridden the many, many challenges of an Argentina side hell-bent on destroying the match's flow, but had still been taken deep into extra time without a breakthrough.Ferran Torres celebrates scoring the winning goal in a World Cup final.

Mikel Merino should have scored moments later, but his free header blazed wide.But in the end, it was all just in service of Torres's magic moment. Williams did brilliantly to keep a cross alive with a clever header back into a dangerous spot. Without the requirement of a settling touch, Torres lifted the killer blow above Argentina's keeper, Emi Martinez. An injury time winner settled Spain's first World Cup title, Andres Iniesta the provider in 2010. He now has company in Spanish folklore. Ferran Torres, a legend forever.2. Disgraceful Argentinian head-loss in defeatThere are ways to win, and there are ways to lose. Argentina had already tread the line of the former this World Cup, but blew any notion of sportsmanship out of the water in the final defeat.As Spain's players ran onto the field in celebration at the final whistle, Argentina's Nahuel Molina threw a punch to the chest of Spanish midfielder Rodri.Rodri turned, reacting with surprise and anger, and from there, a scrap broke out.Leandro Paredes lashed out Gavi after full-time. (Getty Images: Marvin Ibo Guengoer)Argentina's Leandro Paredes, who had already been yellow carded in the game for pushing a player over in an earlier stink, completely lost his head.Paredes went after Spain's Gavi, grabbing him by the neck and throwing him to the ground.Paredes was shown a red card after the match had finished for his outburst, while Argentina's manager Lionel Scaloni had to run onto the field to break up the melee.A disappointing exit for Argentina on an overall disappointing day.3. Wild challenge and red card cost ArgentinaParedes was not the first Argentinian to see red, and indeed the game's first dismissal had far more bearing on the result.Enzo Fernández was shown a second yellow and then a red just before the end of regulation time, forcing Argentina to try to hold on with 10 men through the 30 minutes to come.Pau Cubarsi goes flying after Enzo Fernandez's tackle.Fernandez's first booking was seemingly for dissent, as he vociferously disagreed with a refereeing decision, but his second was an outrageously dumb and reckless challenge.With a 50-50 there to be won, Spain's Pau Cubarsi got to the ball a split second before Fernandez, but the Argentine made no effort at all to avoid the contact he was about to create. He leapt into the challenge, sending Cubarsi flying head over heels through the air.Fernández again tried to argue the point with the referee, but there was no chance at all of a reprieve. A moment of recklessness had taken Argentina's precarious position and made it somehow even worse.4. Messi can't rescue a dismal performanceLionel Messi could not hold back the tears at the full-time whistle, or indeed after he had received his runners-up medal. If this is to be his final World Cup bow, as must surely be the case, it was a desperate way to say goodbye.Argentina was pitiful for almost the entirety of this final. It did not manage a single shot until the 116th minute of the game — not just a shot on target, a single shot at all. Not one!Lionel Messi slumped to the turf after Argentina's defeat. (Getty Images: Michael Regan)It had clearly come with a plan to try to frustrate Spain, disrupt its rhythm with fouls and time-wasting, and hope Messi could create some magic the other way.It succeeded on the first two fronts, but even Messi, playing a lone hand against a disciplined and tactically supreme Spain side, could not find a way to threaten.Spain, to its credit, remained patient with the ball and alert to any danger in defence. It continued to play its football, metronomic at times and very easy on the eye at others, and eventually got the result it deserved.As did Argentina.5. Trump crashes the Spanish partyIt had long since been telegraphed that Donald Trump's first game day appearance at this World Cup would be at the final, and that he would join his mate Gianni Infantino on the pitch to present the medals and trophy after the game.And yet it remained a curious sight as he stood in the middle of the Spanish celebrations, aimlessly wandering around and gesturing towards players, refusing to get out of the way so they could enjoy the fulfilment of their lifelong dream.Donald Trump inserted himself in Spain's World Cup celebrations. (Getty Images: Ian MacNicol)This too was no surprise, as Trump did the same thing last year when Chelsea won the Club World Cup. That time, the players were surprised as Trump stood in the middle of the trophy celebration, grinning widely.This time, Spain captain Rodri made a point of trying to usher him out of the way. Infantino chased him across the stage, trying in vain to get him out of the way. He remained on the periphery, but crucially still within camera shot, when Rodri lifted the World Cup.Perhaps a perfect way to sum up this tournament. Brilliant at its heart, when the football was the focus, but rather unseemly in the background and on the fringes.Email address
