Spain and Argentina meet for the World Cup tomorrow, and both camps have had their final word with the press. The teams know what sort of opponent is waiting on the other side of the halfway line. Spain come in with the control, the clean tournament record and a teenager who has been treated, quite rightly, as a footballer rather than a mascot. Argentina arrive as defending champions, with Lionel Messi still able to decide a match at thirty-nine and a squad that has spent this tournament finding ways to survive the messy bits. That is Episode seventy-five of The Full Time Report. We will start with the final itself, then get into the Rodri and Messi questions, the fitness update on Lamine Yamal, the England and France bronze-medal game, and a transfer desk that has not waited for the World Cup to finish. Aston Villa have broken their own record for Johan Manzambi, Leeds have added Tarik Muharemovic, and Ajax have gone into Saudi Arabia for Marcos Leonardo. Let us get into the final.
