New York (AFP) – Argentina and Spain fans bring the noise to New York’s Times Square ahead of the World Cup final on Sunday as the first 48-team tournament in history reaches a climax in New Jersey. The South Americans are striving to become the first team since Brazil in 1962 to win back-to-back World Cups, while Spain are eyeing a second title after their maiden victory in 2010. Sunday’s showpiece is likely to be the final World Cup appearance for Lionel Messi, widely considered the greatest player of all time.
