2018 is Belgium's time.

belgium are like the spurs.

they'll never amount to anything.

 

[Brazil]

love how the brazilians are celebrating our loss haha, yet they seem to forget we gave germany a hard time and they lost 7-1, 3-0, and ended fourth place.

;*

Argentina played well, though. Go home with your heads held high (and no Cup in hands).

 

[PdotMichael]

Just saw Messi won the golden boot. Awful decision should gave been James Rodriguez

PR decision. I bet they tried everything to include Ronaldo into the stuff until the last second as well.

 

[GladiatoR]

People using the word 'salt' or saying 'salty' when it comes to football is the MOST cringeworthy thing I have ever seen.

 

[eliza0224]

Germany man!! Shit gotta travel there again! Time to get drunk and party!
Klose and Mascherano's crying got me though

 

[FullMetalx117]

First time actually paying attention to World Cup this year and then in the extra time of this game ended up falling asleep... yay soccer?

Overall i think I'm more interested in soccer now than I was before and will definitely watch the next WC.

 

[wsippel]

Adidas printed them a few days ago. I would imagine, that the same happend for Argentinia and their sponsor.

Of course. The extremely casual reveal surprised me a little, though.

 

[Kurt Angle]

second best cup after 98. good luck Russia

Argentina played good today, don't make it ugly

[Niks]

who should have won the best player of the tournament??

 

[Sadist]

Great tournament though.

Was a great ride with a few moments we all expected, but with it's fair share of upsets.

Thanks for the laughs and comments GAF. See you in two years hopefully for EURO 2016!

Such accurate. Much wow.

 

[Rubenov]

Messi is overhyped.

 

[KingJolly]

So many people here are going to disappear for 4 years and comeback as football know it alls.


Whos watching MLS tonight?

 

[Gotdatmoney]

So much salt towards Messi getting the Golden Ball. Not my choice (I think they should have a trophy for top scorer tbh so other more defensive positions have the ability to win) but I don't get why people are so pissed about it. Given he knows it's more of a consolation trophy it probably is something he doesn't even want.

 

[HotHamWater]

Holy shit at the BBC Montage, how can they have something like that so soon after the game, the last scenes are of today's match. I'm gonna miss this cup.

Not to break the magic of it, but they'd literally create the montage with specific slots for clips from the final.

 

[Wilbur]

Argentina lost a lot of opportunities in the first half of the match and was looking better than Germany for a long time there. They're not a bad squad. They could've easily scored at the end too.

Unless you're saying Germany is a poor side too.

They're a good side, but they're nothing special, like a lot of teams at international level.

 

[Eyeh4wk]

First, don't even mention Argentina in the same sentence as that garbage.

Second, Argentina made it to the finals and gave Germany a good match. Do you remember what happened four years ago?

Argentina lost to Germany 4-0?

 

[Loomba]

Unintentional burn lol

Don't see them often.

 

[cilonen]

Of the 7 world cup's that I remember this is probably my 2nd fave. Best since France '98.

I'm trying to remember what the hell I was doing in 2006 as I have pretty much no recollection of that one at all.

 

[scsa]

For all the conspiracy theories about to fly off pertaining to that Fifa corruption handle.

 

[Brazil]

They're a good side, but they're nothing special, like a lot of teams at international level.

Well, you're right. But this Argentina squad is probably the best since the 1990s.

 

[Xena]

;*

Argentina played well, though. Go home with your heads held high (and no Cup in hands).

Hahahaha!

 

[Tugatrix]

scientific burn

 

[boingball]

Argentina was the expected difficult opponent. A game more like the Algeria one than like the Brazil one. Argentina is a better team than Algeria though. But in the end Germany is the deserved World Cup Champion. Now let's do it again in Russia!

 

[Wilbur]

Well, you're right. But this Argentina squad is probably the best since the 1990s.

They're crying out for a creative midfielder though. Like I said above, Messi is expected to create and finish almost every attack because no one else in the team is capable of that.

Best version of BBC's montage so far.

SCHLAAAAAAND

 

[MrS]

Perfect. No team with Chadli and Vertonghen deserves to win anything ever.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Who was named best young player?

 

[hawk2025]

love how the brazilians are celebrating our loss haha, yet they seem to forget we gave germany a hard time and they lost 7-1, 3-0, and ended fourth place.

And yet, here we are.

Making "Decime Que Se Siente" the nearly-official World Cup song of Argentina invites this kind of reaction, my friend.


The old "don't dish it out if you can't take it" adage comes to mind.

 

[tauroxd]

I read a lot, didn't participated enough, but I had many, many laugh with all you guys! Thanks for the fun times !

Argentina lost to Germany 4-0?

They didn't just lose, they fell apart. Was painful to watch.

Speaking of painful, tomorrow the German fans come over to gloat.

They're crying out for a creative midfielder though. Like I said above, Messi is expected to create and finish almost every attack because no one else in the team is capable of that.

Di Maria was that midfielder.

Just a shame about that accident.

ughhhh Maybe I missed something in chemistry class. Is he joking?


Ar is Argon. silver is Ag

 

[Jasup]

I should move back to Germany or anywhere where there's at least a small chance to even qualify to World Cup finals or even to Euro Cup. Fuck this nation's infatuation with ice hockey, the sound of silence is too much.

Messi has no business winning the golden ball. What a moronic decision. Even he knew he didn't deserve it.

 

[PodcastFips]

DEUTSCHLAAAAAAAAND!!!

Come to Germany. It's a great place to live in.
