What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Welcome back to the final ever episode of Pitchside in the World Cup. That's right, guys. We have hijacked the fellow studio set. It's all right.
Yeah, I quite liked it here. We watched the Spain-Argentina final from the fellow's gaff.
First half at Carragher's.
First half at Carragher's, second half here. And today we actually have a full pod again, guys, for the first time in forever. Yeah, absolutely. We've got a couple of clips coming, so stay tuned for those.
We are currently watching the trophy lift behind us. So we're going to be reacting to, obviously, the Golden Boy, the Golden Glove, the Golden Ball, the Fair Play.
Golden Boot, who we know won that.
The Golden Boy? Yeah, the Golden Boy.
Yeah, the best young player.
Oh, wait, no, Golden Boy's every year, isn't it? Definitely, Golden Boy's not from the World Cup. Golden Boy's not one, is it?
Well, what's the one that they call for the World Cup? It's just Young Player of the Tournament.
Golden Boy's the Ballon d'Or for the youngsters.
Yeah, but there's a similar one for the World Cup.
Yeah, but we're finally watching the referees get their medals. That's my favourite part. Spain-Argentina, lads. It was a... It's a disgrace. It's a disgrace. I'm surprised they're still getting medals after they allowed Spain to win. The Argentinian team had zero shots on target. Two total shots which came in the last 10 minutes of extra time.
I genuinely think it's the worst performance of someone in a final of trying to win a game. They didn't look like they actually wanted to win the game whatsoever there.
Is that a credit to the way Spain defended?
Probably. Like you said, they didn't have a shot on target. Spain are just a substantially better team in every way than every team in the tournament.
Yeah, I think that's actually quite... Except one team.
No, they're better than us. Can I just say, watching them today made me feel a little bit better about going out just because I thought there's no chance we were going to beat Spain.
But we would have given them a better game than that. Oh, yeah. I'd like to think. If we played like we did against France, we would have given them a far better game.
Yeah, we can touch on that in a second for the third place final. But in terms of like actually wanting to try and win the football match, England would have definitely looked a lot better than Argentina.
Which is surprising because Argentina's thing has been like these counterattacks, the excitement of the game. And there was just zero effort of that.
It almost looks like they only try as soon as they go down. Which is how this happened against us as well.
I don't even think it's like the zero effort. It's just like it must be so hard to play against Spain where it's like they can't. Like Spain... it's not really possible they just control the game it's total control isn't it yeah and they force you into areas that you don't want to go it's like Theo and I were saying they're just the most efficient team in the world
Well, and also they have one of the best young, well, actually not even one of the best young centre-backs in the world. They're one of the best centre-backs in the world.
So he got the young player?
Yeah, Cabasi has won the young player of the tournament, which I think is thoroughly deserved.
Absolutely deserved.
How did Spain dominate the World Cup final against Argentina?
Is he still 19?
Isn't he? Yeah, he's still 19 years of age. So they've got two 19-year-olds starting for their team, mate. The future of Spanish football is absolutely huge. They've gone back-to-back Euros in World Cup. If they win the next year, they would have had a repeat of 08, 10 and 12. We just had a Google. We were talking about this off air whilst watching the game thinking Spain have obviously only conceded one. It's our order again. Yeah, that's the best.
I don't know. That's the best defensive record slash tournament slash competition performance of all time now. That's only one goal conceded. Of winners.
Of winners. Yeah, of winners. So we did Google it. So obviously Spain conceded only one goal all tournament.
Italy 06 was two.
