Spain dominated France in their semi-final while Argentina came from behind to net two late goals against England to secure their spot in the final in New Jersey.<\/p>\n
Once again, we have Joe Cole<\/a> on hand to give some expert insight but he doesn\u2019t want to talk about England\u2019s semi-final exit so don\u2019t even bother asking\u2026<\/p>\n Here, he gives his Bet Builder for Spain v Argentina<\/a> with the biggest prize in football on the line. Let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n Spain v Argentina Bet Builder<\/a> tips<\/p>\n Spain to win (in 90 mins) A Bet Builder with these selections pays approximately 20\/1\u00a0with Paddy Power.\u00a0CLICK OR TAP HERE TO ADD IT TO YOUR BETSLIP<\/a>.<\/p>\n WHEN:\u00a0Sunday, July 19th, 8pm Spain have been sensational at this World Cup. They\u2019re so organised and they\u2019ve cruised through really. They haven\u2019t got out of second gear as they didn\u2019t have to, even against France in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll see how good they are on Sunday though against Lionel Messi and Argentina.<\/p>\n It\u2019ll be such an interesting game but I\u2019m on Spain to win (in 90 minutes). There hasn\u2019t been a team that\u2019s been able to disrupt their rhythm for longer than 15 minutes so I can\u2019t go against them.<\/p>\n I\u2019m also expecting a lot of action. I\u2019m hoping it\u2019s a belter so I\u2019m on over 3.5 goals.<\/p>\n The superstar players have really turned up this tournament and that should happen again with all the marbles on the line on Sunday night.<\/p>\n Lamine Yamal to score or assist and Messi to score or assist are worth getting behind.<\/p>\n There isn\u2019t anything else we can say about the Argentine. He\u2019s simply sensational and he\u2019s the heartbeat of this side. He\u2019ll be heavily involved as per usual.<\/p>\n Yamal may have slightly underperformed by his incredibly high standards but the Barcelona man is due a breakout game and what better stage to do just that?<\/p>\n Finally, there will be fouls so Rodrigo De Paul to commit 1+ fouls and Leandro Paredes to commit 1+ fouls are my final Bet Builder selections.<\/p>\n De Paul and Paredes are always involved in that midfield battle and we saw against England that those Argentina players aren\u2019t afraid to get stuck in!<\/p>\n Spain v Argentina tips<\/p>\n Spain to win (in 90 mins) A Bet Builder with these selections pays approximately 20\/1\u00a0with Paddy Power.\u00a0CLICK OR TAP HERE TO ADD IT TO YOUR BETSLIP<\/a>.<\/p>\n *All prices are bang up to date with our snazzy widgets, while odds in copy are accurate at time of publishing but subject to change.<\/p>\n READ MORETap here for PP.com\u2019s latest football odds<\/a>The Paddy Power Guide To Safer Gambling \u2013 Everything You Need To Know<\/a>
