Following England's defeat to Argentina, thousands of fans are disappointed, especially the supporters of the Three Lions, who not only lamented that their national team fell just one step short of the 2026 World Cup final, but also complained about the way the Argentine players played. “They are the most disgusting team,” said one English fan while pleading with the Spanish national team to win the championship and thus avoid another title for Lionel Messi.
The lead-up to the 2026 World Cup final between Spain and Argentina has sparked all kinds of comments, especially on social media, where there is a clear divide between those who want La Roja to win and those who wish to see the Albiceleste become back-to-back champions.

Definitely, those who do not want Argentina to win the World Cup are the English, as they claim that it was not a fair game and that the referee did not call several fouls and acts of aggression by the Argentines.
In recent hours, a video went viral of an English fan who sent a message addressed to the Spanish national team, asking them to defeat the Albiceleste in the match for the title.
“Spain, I need you to do something for me… Lamine Yamal, I need you to do something for me; we all just saw Argentina and it is the most disgusting team I have ever seen in my life. Disgusting. I can't believe they are the world champions. Spain, for the sake of soccer, for everything I love. Please, do something for me (...) They hit Elliott Anderson on the back of the neck in the first minute. And the referee just lets it slide, as if nothing happened (...) Yamal, take the GOAT title and put it on your head, this is your moment. Let's take down these Argentines, brother, let's go get them,” is the message shared by the fan.
Some users supported the Englishman's message and expressed their desire for Spain to win the World Cup; others defended Argentina and pointed out that said national team has shown enough merit to reach the final. “Can it be that the entire world is with Spain?”, “Justice must be served, for Egypt, Cape Verde, Switzerland, and England”, “England begging Spain, that is pure gold”, “Incredible, an Englishman wanting Spain to win, what soccer has united, let no man put asunder” and “Spain will play on Sunday for the entire world”, were some of the messages sparked by the plea from the England national team supporter.
¿Quién es favorito para ganar la final?
The final between Spain and Argentina pits two of the best-performing teams of the tournament against each other. Specialists consider the final to be very evenly matched, although some give a slight advantage to Argentina due to the experience accumulated in international finals and the presence of Messi.
Others believe that Spain arrives with a more solid collective performance, which could give them an advantage if they manage to impose their style of play from the start.
