One and a half billion sets of eyes will be on New Jersey come Monday morning, when Spain and Argentina face off to decide who takes home football's biggest prize.

In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou is joined by Ed Kavalee - co-host of SBS's nightly show Santo & Ed's Cup Fever - to get you across everything you need to know before kick-off.  
 
They unpack Ed's theory on how both finalists made it this far, whether the World Cup is rigged, plus:

• the Ronaldo-Messi era reaching its final chapter,
• Donald Trump's phone call to FIFA's president, and
• an honest post-mortem on the Socceroos' performance this year.
