The fallout from the 2026 World Cup final rolls on as Richard Fitzpatrick Colm Boohig & Enda Coll to paint the picture from Spain: “total ecstasy”, with claims of more than 2 million out for the Madrid homecoming — even bigger than 2010, following their maiden World Cup success!

They dig into why this Spain team feels like the anti-galácticos: the collective, the culture, and the calm authority of Luis de la Fuente’s remarkable comeback story.

Plus, the ugly aftermath of the final, Argentina’s behaviour at full-time, the politics that seeped into the celebrations, and why Rodri is now being talked about as an all-time great Spanish midfielder - surpassing Sergio Busquests in the pantheon of greats!
