![Argentina will face Spain in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final. Spain's legendary goalkeeper and 2010 World Cup-winning captain Iker Casillas has taken aim at the reigning champions ahead of the title-deciding match, declaring that Argentina won't be lifting a fourth World Cup this time around. Casillas wrote on social media, "You guys aren't getting your fourth star this time. The fourth star doesn't stand a chance. Now it's our turn to win our second star. Vamos, Spain." Argentina defeated England 2-1 in Wednesday night's second semi-final. England had taken the lead in the 55th minute through an Anthony Gordon goal, but even after going ahead, coach Thomas Tuchel opted for a defensive approach — a decision that clearly frustrated Casillas. Casillas sharply criticized the England coach's tactics, writing, "After they [England] scored, the entire team dropped back and sat deep to defend. Absolutely cowardly tactics! They never left their own box and just kept feeding Argentina attack after attack. That's exactly how a match like that was always going to end." Following the match, Casillas added, "England lost this match because of their own tactical mistakes. They allowed Argentina to completely take control during the final 30 minutes." Argentina eventually equalized in the 85th minute through Enzo Fernández, before a goal from Lautaro Martínez in stoppage time sealed a 2-1 victory for Lionel Scaloni's side. Spain and Argentina will meet in the World Cup final on Sunday at 1 am Bangladesh time. Should Argentina win, it would mark their second consecutive World Cup title and their fourth overall. A win for Spain, meanwhile, would give them their second title since 2010.](https://sarenabd.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/You-Wont-Win-a-Fourth-Title-This-Time_-Casillas.webp)
