THE INSIDE CHANNEL: World Cup Final Review | End of Tournament Awards | Best Team, Best Goal, Best Moment and More!

It’s over. Spain are world champions. Sam Matterface and Alex Crook bring The Inside Channel to a close with the final episode of a series that has taken them across America for seven weeks and 20 episodes – from the launch in London to the World Cup Final in New York.

Spain beat Argentina 1-0 in extra time thanks to a Ferran Torres goal, in a final that won’t live long in the memory. Argentina failed to register a shot on target in 120 minutes, and the ending was marred by scuffles on the pitch. Sam and Alex give their honest verdict – were Spain worthy tournament winners? Was this Messi’s last World Cup? And how does the ugliest ending to a final in recent memory sit alongside what was otherwise a remarkable tournament?

Then the World Cup Awards. Sam and Alex hand out 12 awards covering the tournament from start to finish – Best Goal, Best Player, Best Match, Breakout Player, Biggest Flop, Song of the Tournament, Best Fans and more. There will be agreement. There will be disagreement. Either way, it’s the perfect way to reflect on the tournament.

The tipping competition reaches its conclusion. Sam finishes on +123 points. Alex finishes on -97.8 points. There is only one thing left – Alex’s Times Square forfeit. Watch it below.
