ronaldo who?

 

[Bragr]

France bucked under the pressure, some absolutely horrendous penalty kicks going on there.

 

[Ballthyrm]

Of course Messi had to win the best WC final of the last 50 years

 

[cormack12]

Still waiting for VAR

 

[Cyberpunkd]

France didn't win mate.

and Mbappe has won fuck all next to Messi lol

Lol, with this logic any Morocco player is better than Cristiano Ronaldo, amirite?

Messi is a tax scammer, plus he will retire soon.

 

[Ilpalazzo]

After 36 years Messi gave Argentina the World Cup and he can retire as the best.

 

[El Pistolero]

How can you say that after seeing Mbappé today lol

Maybe because I have watched him play since he was 17 years old? There won't be another Messi...Wait, were you suggesting that Mbappe is better?

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

The GOAT, no discussion possible. He's the best ever. Well done Messi.

Penalties are a boring way to end an exciting game.

the guy has won more than ronaldo.

Oooh damn, the tears!!! stop it man, you're drowning us. Where are all your 'funny' gifs now

 

[Alx]

GG Argentina. Crazy final and they had to fight until the end to earn it.

 

[Ilpalazzo]

We are used to suffer but what a relief when we got this.
Every argentinian is jumping and singing in every corner of the world and you're sure listening to us.

 

[LordCBH]

I wish I understood what was going on so I could join in the enthusiasm of these games.

 

[Ilpalazzo]

This is crazy

 

[Exentryk]

Messi the GOAT deserved this! Fairy tale ending to his world cup career!

Messi might have won this, but Mbappe has proven that he will one day take him over as GOAT. Messi's reign of GOAT ends with this world cup even though he came out on top. he might just end up being GOTG. Ironic.

This has to be the best final ever. I typically hate finals because everyone plays them too conservatively but this one came to life in the 79th minute and then for the next 40-50 minutes, it's pure attacking from each side. Yes, Argentina let them back in but they didnt let them gain the momentum and kept attacking. I was certain that France was going to win after the second Mbappe goal but Argentina just never gave up and thats probably why it went to penalties in the first place.

Hilarious that Fifa called this right once again. 5 in a row. Amazing.

P.S Mbappe and Messi might win player of the game, but the Argentinian goalie who saved that goal in the last minute should get it. He doesnt save it and its game over.

P.P.S Best game ever. I hope people appreciate what they just watched. We probably wont get another final like this in our lifetime.

 

[TaylorSwiftFan]

What rigged

France 0 shot on target poor first half

Dembeles own fault for that penalty

Not a penalty. Let’s also forget all those non-penalties that Argentina was granted.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

What rock song are they playing?

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

Not a penalty. Let’s also forget all those non-penalties that Argentina was granted.

It was 100% penalty. Dembele clearly clips di maria's left foot BEFORE he falls.

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

The beautiful game indeed.

 

[SSfox]

Argentina won, so Happy. MESSI the GOAT!!

 

[LiquidMetal14]

For the last time, today's highlights of the WORLD CHAMPION ARGENTINA

[SlimySnake]

every penalty given was a valid one. every single one.

the only bullshit thing about those penalties is that the defenders shouldve known better. trash defending.

[Lukaku's First Touch]

What's Macron doing there? Coming to personally collect his briefcase of money?

 

[JimmyRustler]

Was watching the game loosely while I was a the gym. When Argentine made the 2:0 I thought it was a done deal. Now I come home and see the final score. Woa…. Must have been quite a game. Perfect send off to Messi’s carreer.

 

[lukilladog]

And the World Champion is:

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I didn't think I would actually see Messi finally win it. I figured he would be in his 40's still chasing that dream.

Finally Messi can retire. Finally he can rest.

I willing to bet he's more relieved to be finished than we are.

 

[MadPanda]

Penalties are a boring way to end an exciting game.

True, but both tried hard till the end to win it. You don't see that often, usually they just wait for penalties from the second extra time period or even before that.

What's Macron doing there? Coming to personally collect his briefcase of money?

That's funny but both countries' presidents are there.

 

[Kar]

Can someone please show me that last penalty for France (the 3-3 one), I was waiting the the replay and probably missed it.
Thanks.

Mbappe will not have Messi's career. Nope!

Not Argentina's president. Just the one from AFA

There's a huge difference between how the Argentian and French players greet there respresentitives. Not even the French players respect that corrupt shithead.

Dafuc?

 

[jufonuk]

That lady with the hair something about her.

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

Qatari guy trying to ruin Messi's moment forcing him to wear that stupid thing.

 

[Ilpalazzo]

 

[StreetsofBeige]

I dont watch soccer at all except world cup time, but if there is one thing that holds true is that Argentina's powder blue uniforms with stripes look great.

 

[jm89]

Mbappe will not have Messi's career. Nope!

His career will probably more closer to Henry I think with more international contribution. I think Messi and C. Ronaldo are once in a few decade.
