Summary
With performances from Shakira, Madonna, Justin Bieber, BTS and more, FIFA will be forced to extend the length of the half-time break well beyond the 15 minutes it mandates in its own guidelines. Real Sociedad striker Mikel Oyarzabal gave Spain the lead with a penalty midway through the first half that was won by 19-year-old Lamine Yamal. Spain, meanwhile, are looking to become two-time champions following their first World Cup victory in 2010.
Furthermore, Spain will face Argentina in the big game, Spain looking for its first men's title since 2010 and Argentina hoping to go back to back in the tournament after winning in 2022. The superstition dates back to the 1990 tournament, when then-President Carlos Menem visited the Argentine squad right before it suffered a stunning opening loss to Cameroon. Some watch each game in the same spot — or are not allowed to watch at all, as can be the case with those who happen to be in the bathroom when Argentina scores.
