The two teams at the finish line are amongst the 7 that have previously won the World Cup, maintaining a tradition that only a few countries in the world can, and have managed to win in history.  Another useful tradition to note is that the coveted trophy is not won by the element of luck, or by accident. It is success earned through very difficult matches from start till the end.  In that vein, every previous World Cup has been won by a country on the merit of consistent performances through several different and challenging matches!  That’s the simplest explanation for why Spain (2 time-winners) and Argentina (3 time-winners) are the two countries to have survived the turbulence of the past four weeks till the end, a period that held the entire world in the grip of uncommon drama, suspense, fun, exhilarating games and unpredictable matches, with many last-minute dramatic matches such as have never been experienced in World Cup history!  The past one month has been a real feast of the good, the bad and the best of football in the world.  Once again, the FIFA World Cup demonstrated its power to unite the world, totally immune from usual cultural, social, economic, political and even religious differences. That is the power of the single most followed human activity on earth (with over 5 Billion spectators), a most lucrative project ( $11:00 Billion Dollars to be shared amongst participants), and an event that put every other global issue in the background for a period. When the matches are going on every thing else pales in significance.  So, at the end of 102 matches, Spain (current European Champions) and Argentina (defending World Cup champions), are the last two standing. We are left with an epic confrontation between the best of European football and the best of South American football.
