So I was thinking and I figured the scriptwriters finally ran out of ink.

Everyone expected the usual matrix script where Argentina gets a soft 90th-minute penalty to bail out the system, but the football gods literally looked at the setup and said "not today".

Spain showed up with maximum aura, completely locked them in a tactical straightjacket, and forced them to play down to 10 men. Ferran Torres dropping an extra-time dagger at 106 minutes to single-handedly shut down the generational glazing machine is poetry. The 39-year-old script is officially cooked. Football won. #intrusivethought
