Spain prepares for the FIFA World Cup final against Argentina after an undefeated run that began following a loss in 2024. While ESPN highlights a newfound defensive discipline as the team's core advantage, The Guardian frames the matchup as a clash between Spain's tactical momentum and Argentina's sustained 14-match unbeaten streak.
