[Psst... I lost interest after both Scotland and Iran exited, following the group stage].
The crowning clash pitted defending champions Argentina against Spain.
La Albiceleste entered with the tournament's highest goal count (19), while La Roja boasted the tightest defense, having conceded just a single goal all tournament.
I picked Spain to triumph. And they did! They won their second FIFA World Cup title by defeating Argentina 1-0 after extra time.
Substitute striker Ferran Torres scored the decisive winning goal in the 106th minute, breaking the deadlock after a grueling, highly physical match. The Argies were bullies on the field.
I had dinner first in the vicinity. Nasi Kandar Mamak Kitchen, located at No. 32-1, Jalan PP16/2, Perdana Industrial Park in Taman Putra Perdana, Puchong, Selangor. It was only about 750 meters from HQ Bersama, and therefore, it was convenient for me.
I had my usual. With extra rice, double portions. And air sirap ais. Altogether RM13.50.
At HQ Bersama, I had the privilege of being up close and personal with Bersama's Rafizi Ramli as he broke down the realities of modern Malaysian politics. Especially the shenanigans of the "dinosaur" parties.
