Argentina dodges media after World Cup final defeat to Spain
TL;DR
Argentina and Lionel Messi left MetLife Stadium without any post-match interviews after a 1-0 World Cup final loss to Spain, with players exiting through a back door to avoid the mixed zone; only coach Lionel Scaloni spoke publicly. FIFA may fine the team for failing to designate players for media duties, and questions linger about Scaloni’s future as his contract expires later this year.
