The two finalists for the FIFA World Cup are now confirmed, and as befits the grand finale, football fans are eagerly anticipating a clash between two contrasting schools of football.

Argentina, the defending champions, led by Lionel Messi, the tournament's all-time leading scorer, will face Spain, boasting the strongest defense, on Sunday in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Spain defeated France in the semi-finals last Tuesday, while Argentina, the masters of World Cup comebacks, overcame England 2-1 in the other semi-final.

Argentina is aiming for its fourth title and hopes to become the first team to win the trophy twice consecutively since Brazil achieved this feat in 1958 and 1962. Meanwhile, the Spanish national team is aiming for its second title, having won its first in 2010.
