The World Cup final is being hailed as a triumph of good over evil, with Spain surviving an Argentina side that pushed the boundaries all tournament... and eventually went over the edge.
Only one team actually tried to play football. And it wasn't Lionel Messi's men, who've been described as "pitiful" thugs.
"Football 1, Felons 0," another journalist wrote.
"Spain won the World Cup and we are all better for that. Football is better for that.
“It really, desperately needed Spain to win this final. Anything else would have felt like a crime."
The most respected team wins the World Cup Spain save the football today kudos!!
