Best World Cup final and also the best World Cup I've seen. USA 94 will always remain my favourite as it's the one I can properly remember and also didn't really have a team that I badly wanted to win whereas the latter stages of this was nerves as I wanted Messi to win it. I am looking forward to the 2026 World Cup as it's back to the first one I remember but FIFA need to get the format right otherwise it will be a mess and potentially very dull.

Best/Favourite match: Final Best/Favourite goal: Richarlison v Serbia Best/Favourite player: Messi Best/Favourite moment for your team: Rashford free kick Best/Favourite 'other' moment: Morocco in general and also seeing their players celebrate with their families, Boufal and his mam dancing was class. Plus seeing Ronaldo have a crap tournament. Worst/Least favourite moment/anything: Bruno missing his chances in that game and then doylems slating him

Also I know it's been said but Emi Martinez should get a knighthood or whatever equivalent they have in Argentina, whilst Messi was clearly their best player he was there in those big moments That save from Kuol to stop it going into extra time. Then delivering in the shoot out against the Netherlands. Then the save right at the death from Muani was ridiculous and then finally in the shoot out. He delivered in big moments for them.

Still absolutely buzzing, it just feels right that Messi has a World Cup winners medal. Like someone had mentioned earlier I couldn't fully enjoy the game because of how badly I wanted Messi to win it, when it looked like they had bottled it on a couple of occasions I was devastated, only Newcastle losses have made me feel worse when it comes to sport. I didn't expect them to do it, not cos of Messi but didn't trust their defence when it came to moments. They were cruising that game until that Otamendi moment but we saw that fragility a few times in the tournament. For me there was never a debate but this just ends it. It was often said Ronaldo's greatest achievement was being compared to Messi and history will show that to be the case. Though the last hour or so wasn't enjoyable that's the best WC final I have watched by a country mile and it is the best WC I have seen (USA 94 being the first will probably always remained favourite) .

League Cup 4th Round - Newcastle Utd v AFC Bournemouth (20/12/22 @ 7.45pm)

2nd option for me I think as a club that would push us along way more than a League Cup win would -
Was he trying to control that rather than boot it away?

Superb penalty

Blatant pen, Willock did well
-
We are playing some lovely stuff, that too without Miggy, Bruno and Wilson
-
Saint-Maximin looks lively and Botman is just making it look easy

I badly want Messi to win it, just feel that France will do enough to win it. I think France have the better squad but also less pressure, they're the holders so losing it feels less disastrous and they'll also be very much genuine contenders in 2026 whereas I don't see this Argentina side being much of a threat (though still some time for that to change). Also, I think France will level with Brazil in the next 3-4 tournaments.
