Legendary Brazilian striker Ronaldo Nazario has predicted the outcome of the 2026 FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina. The sides are set to lock horns in the finale of the Mundial at the New York New Jersey Stadium in a few hours.

    Speaking on his official TikTok account with Denilson, the retired striker claimed that La Roja will easily win the match and the title. He pointed out that the technical quality ingrained in the Europeans will help them to get the better of their opponents, as La Albiceleste will be left chasing shadows.

    Spain are firm favourites to win the game in New York, which could be Lionel Messi's last in the FIFA World Cup. The European champions are looking to win their second title, having also won the competition 16 years ago in South Africa.

    Luis de la Fuente's side defeated pre-tournament favourites France comprehensively in the semi-final, claiming a dominant 2-0 win. The South American champions, on the other hand, needed to come from behind to overcome England in their own semi-final.

    Controversial US President Donald Trump is set to attend the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina. The game is set to take place at the New York New Jersey Stadium on Sunday to conclude this summer's tournament.

    The White House has confirmed that Trump will be in attendance, having missed every single game so far in the FIFA World Cup. He has not been far from the spotlight, however, with his comments on the Folarin Balogun saga and his criticism of Thomas Tuchel examples of his involvement.

    Trump will be part of the trophy presentation to the winners at the end of the FIFA World Cup final. For the first time in the history of the competition, the winners will also receive rings, the like of which is presented to American sports champions.
