This episode is brought to you by Febreze, and we're coming to you from the official Febreze-sponsored boot room, which, if you know anything about soccer, is usually the last place you want to hang out.

This is What Now with Trevor Noah. 104 matches, 48 teams, 30-something, 32 maybe knockout games.

Six weeks. A feast of football. How do you feel right now? Are you full?

Or do you wish this was your new life? Man, I could always go for seconds when it comes to football. I could always go for seconds. This was insane, man.

But my God, are you not entertained? Yeah, are you not entertained? For sure. First and foremost, Spain are the world champions again. Spain are the world champions.

We're the champions. The Zerbed champions. And I don't want to say it's because of me.

But I will say I will say Every time I've been at a final Spain has won it

Also they did win their first big major championship South Africa

No, no, their first major championship 2008 That jersey The man you're wearing right now Oh, this one Oh, yeah, yeah Not about the World Cup only He scored the goal that set them on a path

On a path Let's talk about it I mean, first and foremost The World Cup The final Like

Everybody who was watching the game In the stadium on tv said

the same thing spain was stifling

argentina watching it in real time was

even more impressive you know because we were lucky enough to be at the game yes seeing

how the spanish team completely pressed

every single player on the opposing team seeing how they attacked together seeing how rodry can i tell you rodry i don't think has won a single man of the match at this tournament.

No. And I think it's because the man of the match was voted for by fans.

And I think the fans, not that they don't, they didn't know the game.

I think because when you're watching the game on TV, you miss out on so much of what's not happening on screen.

When you're watching the game live, it's easy to say Rodri's man of the match. He was a colossus. He was a colossus today. He was everywhere.

If you just kept your eye on him, you could see the whole game. You didn't have to watch the whole game to see him.

He gave us Sergio Busquets vibes He was everywhere But almost like a stronger Stronger, bigger, taller He's quite a unit

But I was like just watching him How casual he was We talked about this You said it's like a grandpa He was like a grandpa Playing in his slippers In his backyard It wasn't a World Cup final for him He was immense The interceptions he made

Fully deserved Fully deserved Player of the tournament Fully deserved in my Who are you happy for? Baby Goat or the Goat?

I'm happy for Baby Goat Because winning it at 19 Winning the World Cup sometimes Not winning the World Cup

Can become like some kind of Albatros around your neck You're not wrong We saw it with Ronaldo

Yeah, you're not wrong If you win it now You get it out of the

way Yeah, yeah, yeah Now you can play Your international career You're already a hero Yeah So

I was really happy for him Of course All I mean is to do Is win a

Champions League now Which is way easier I would argue Yes, for the club Than winning Because you have a chance every year He already won the European Championship And was instrumental in that Yeah Part of me wanted

Because there were so many Barcelona boys in that team In that Spanish team I wanted Pedri to win I wanted the minimal of defenders

Pao Cubasi But you think Pedri had a good World Cup? He had a good World Cup He didn't have the World Cup he expected

Pedri expects to always be a starter But he was unseated by Fabian Luiz I thought Fabian Luiz I can get why he took over Fabian Luiz is a lot taller He's a lot bigger

And I think Luiz de la Fuente He's also a lot more progressive in this tournament at least But he was very imprecise

That's the thing He was progressive But he was very very imprecise And I think when Pedri came home You saw how Spain now

Took an even bigger Stronghold Yeah yeah yeah Because it's all about control But Fabian Luiz gives you something That Pedri doesn't give you Which is Physicality Yeah In the middle So I get why He wanted him there But

Paco Barsi winning Young player of the tournament He was a colossus in defense He was incredible in defense Man It was so wild as well Like being there in the stadium Because like

The Argentine fans They don't know when they're beaten

Yo They don't know when they're beaten The whole stadium was Argentina Like I'm talking from the first minute It felt like you were watching the game At La Bombonela Yo

Until the Until the The handing of the trophy They were still singing They were still Even during the hanging Yeah They were It's like You couldn't tell if they'd won or lost

I'll say this And watching them with Messi stand in front of them Did it feel like a farewell to you? Do you think Messi's gone? No, I don't think he is.

I think they steal a last dance in him. I watched him. So the funny thing about that image is I never thought,

in a hundred years, I never thought Messi would reach that kind of status with these Argentine fans.
