Man's 2026 FIFA World Cup final prediction
According to Gbandeh, the match would not be a cagey affair as some people expect, as he predicts that both teams would score goals.
While dismissing the possibility of the game being decided by a penalty shootout, Gbandeh forecasted that Argentina will defeat Spain to defend the title they won in Qatar in 2022.
Gbandeh wrote:
"The biggest and final Match of the 2026 World Cup.
"This match will not be cagey as expected. There will be goals from both teams. Spain will try to dominate the game by keeping possession of the ball. But Argentina's agile midfield won't make it easy for them. It will be an open game as both teams will try to play the ball.
"We will see a goal in each half of the match. A possible extra time. And at least a goal in extra time. I don't see a penalty shootout. I see a very composed Spain team keeping large portions of the play against Argentina. But with that winning arrogance in the Argentines and with their talisman on form, I see them winning it again. I see Argentina winning this World Cup back to back. Sorry, Lamine Yamal, but the GOAT will have a say in this one too.
"There will be no new Champions today."
