@mothershipsg: thought it would be a wholesome end but the saxophones are getting louder… A minor brawl broke out between Argentina and Spain players on the pitch after the final whistle of the 2026 World Cup final in New Jersey. According to ESPN, Argentina midfielder Leandro Paredes shoved Spain’s Eric Garcia to the ground as the Spanish team rushed onto the pitch to celebrate their second World Cup victory in 16 years. The incident sparked a wider scuffle involving players, substitutes, and coaching staff from both sides. While several individuals attempted to defuse the situation, order was only restored after Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni stepped in, Reuters reported. Speaking in a post-match interview, Scaloni reflected on the result, saying: "We are gracious in victory, and we must be so in defeat. We accept the loss; we gave everything. We were stretched thin coming into this, but giving it your all, like they did today, sets a great example for our people and our country.” “You lose, and you have to pick yourself up again." #mothershipabroad #worldcup
