I'm not the gambling type but maybe I should've placed a wager. 😅
Luck has certainly been on my side these past weeks traveling across North America and covering the World Cup for @dw_sports/@dwnews/@dw_espanol
Thankful for the opportunity and everyone that made it possible.
Spain have won the 2026 World Cup! 🇪🇸🏆

Spain fans chanting:
"Hands up, this is a robbery," after their goal in extra time vs. Argentina is ruled out.
#ESPARG
Scoreless World Cup final. Zero shots from Argentina in 90 minutes vs. Spain.
