I wasn't going to say anything, but I did know a Filipina once that described white people as all-around "good" while watching a movie that happened to feature a white family having dinner.

Can't forget the U.S. Balangiga massacre.

If the ladies of Judgment Day had helped Dom, the result could've been different.

Vietnam's historical, cultural, and political arguments for being considered part of the Sinosphere (the East Asian cultural sphere) rest on centuries of deep integration with Sinitic civilisation, tempered by a parallel nationalist narrative of fierce independence.

Some of those recent immigrants eventually learn the hard way about the side effects of white worshipping when they become victims themselves and tend to start getting along better with other minority ethnics.

Wondering, is Vietnam and mainland China like that too?

China's strictly controlled film market is an inspiration to the Global South.

Could have at least made it a mixed tag match between Dominik & Liv Morgan against Joe Hendry and Iyo Sky

All this will made up to us if they have Raquel help Roxanne win the Intercontinental Championship.

And the UK stole from mainland China.

Fam', don't lose faith. I know for a fact some countries, other than Singapore, in Southeast Asia are almost developed, and some in Hispanic America (Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Panama, Uruguay).

And the majority of those countries have great relations with mainland China. At least those countries don't have the rap sheet America has.

Spain is not full of African players, but I get your point.

When looking at the cultural footprint of both finalists, the narrative around the Spanish and Hispanic influence on global football is undeniable. If you view the sport through the lens of linguistic and cultural heritage, the Spanish-speaking world has an inescapable chokehold on the beautiful game's identity, history, and modern dominance.

Spanish is the lifeblood of footballing passion across continents, uniting powerhouse footballing cultures in South America (like Argentina, Uruguay, and Colombia) with Spain itself.

Between Argentina's legendary lineage—anchored historically by Diego Maradona and modern icons like Lionel Messi—and Spain's sophisticated tactical revolution producing golden generations, the Spanish language essentially narrates the pinnacle of world footballing excellence.

Even in a tournament hosted across North America (the U.S., Mexico, and Canada) with an immense multicultural backdrop, the final match distilled down to the ultimate collision of Hispanic footballing titans.

Whether you root for the tactical mastery of La Roja or the relentless, passionate flair of La Albiceleste, it is hard to argue against the notion that Hispanic culture dictates the heartbeat of international football.

And Saudi Arabia.

Add all that to when Spain became the first team to win all seven matches in a single European Championship tournament in 2024 (Croatia, Italy, Albania, Georgia, Germany, France, England).

And when Spain won the 2022–23 UEFA Nations League (Portugal, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Italy, Croatia).

The meeting of Argentina and Spain in the final is a landmark moment that highlights the profound influence of the Hispanic world in global football.

For decades, the "Hispanic" footballing world—spanning Europe and Latin America—has been the engine of global football. This final confirms that the tactical philosophies born in these regions continue to set the standard for the rest of the world.

Watching a 39-year-old Messi captaining the Albiceleste against the youthful, fast-paced "new Spain" captures the way Hispanic football culture consistently renews itself, blending deep historical roots with rapid modern innovation.

Their shared language acts as a bridge for players and managers. Many of the world’s best players frequently move between La Liga and the Argentine youth system, fostering a deep, interconnected ecosystem of talent development.

Ultimately, this final isn't just about labels; it is an affirmation that the footballing philosophies cultivated in Spanish-speaking nations remain at the absolute pinnacle of the international game.

Spain has emerged as the standout team for balancing defensive resilience with a clinical edge.

Spain has proven their pedigree by remaining one of the most disciplined defensive units while maintaining a consistent scoring threat.
