World Cup Final: Argentina 3-3 France (4-2 pens) - Argentina are world champions

Just watching the goals again, fucking criminal by Laurturo to not square it to Messi on the 3rd goal. Had a tap in.

 

Luckily it worked out for them but man, what a shit world cup he had and he gets a medal :lol:

I would love to see Ronaldo's face right now, I bet he is raging, no more arguments about who is the GOAT.

 

He was pretty much neck and neck with Messi to be considered one of the all time greats until not that long ago but he's completely fucked his legacy with his arrogance :memelol:

All things aside, never has a side deserved more by such a slim margin. 

 

France were shit, Mbappe bagging a hattrick in that was akin to Klose being the all time scorer, baffling.

 

Imagine if that cross nobody got a touch on had snuck in right at the death and he'd scored 4 and the last minute winner :lol:

For all that was probably the best World Cup final since 1954 I barely enjoyed a single moment of it. Was desperate for Messi to win it and desperate for France to lose so just found it mostly unbearable.


I enjoyed it, but I get what you are saying. What a relief when that big mofo saved that last shot. Martinez is an asshole, but what a big game goalkeeper he has been. Basically turned Argentina around when he started playing.

Felt exactly the same. Even at 2-0 and France being nowhere in it, I knew unless it was maybe 3-0 with 10 minutes left that it wasn't over.

 

2-2 and 3-3 were horrible considering how little France gave to the game. Honestly thought they weren't far away from Netherlands 2010 levels of undeserving

Has it been confirmed that Messi is retiring from the national team after today?

 

It's 18 months until the next Copa - so he could probably still contribute. And he's two goals away from 100 for Argentina. But you do kinda feel he'd be better ending now at the highest point.

Thought this. On the one hand it'd be amazing to go out on top. Also feel like he kinda deserves to just chill a bit and maybe come on from the bench without any real pressure for a tournament or 2, having now won the lot. Could actually enjoy playing for Argentina without stressing about matching Maradona :lol:

I hope he’s done. Argentinas team without him is as good as Paraguay basically.
