Spain Wins Fourth EURO Title Over England

Spain secured their fourth European Championship title with a 2-1 victory over England in the UEFA EURO 2024 final in Berlin. This historic win establishes Spain as the most successful nation in the tournament's history.

The match began cautiously, with a goalless first half. Spain broke the deadlock early in the second half when Nico Williams scored from Lamine Yamal's assist. England equalized through substitute Cole Palmer, showcasing their resilience.

However, Mikel Oyarzabal's late goal, four minutes from time, sealed the victory for Spain. The winning strike came from Marc Cucurella's cross, leaving England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford helpless.

England had late chances to force extra time, with Declan Rice's header saved by Unai Simón and Marc Guéhi's attempt cleared off the line by Dani Olmo.

This triumph adds to Spain's impressive international record, while England's wait for a major trophy since 1966 continues.

Meanwhile Argentina clinched their record 16th Copa America title with a 1-0 victory over Colombia in extra time at the Hard Rock Stadium in Florida. Substitute Lautaro Martinez scored the decisive goal in the 112th minute, securing the win for the defending champions.

The match, delayed by over an hour due to ticketing issues, was tightly contested throughout regulation time. Colombia started aggressively, with several early chances, while Argentina's Lionel Messi suffered an ankle injury that eventually forced him off in the 66th minute.

As the game progressed into extra time, Argentina increased their pressure, culminating in Martinez's winning goal from Giovani Lo Celso's assist. This victory adds to Argentina's recent successes, following their 2022 World Cup and 2021 Copa America triumphs.

This latest title further cements Argentina's status as a footballing powerhouse and caps off a remarkable period of success for the national team.
