  1. Amazing final.

    Sad for France but they have sooo much talent in that squad. They will surely be favourites for every tournament in the coming years.

  2. Congratulations Argentina! Incredible final, probably the best in a long while if not ever.

    Gotta say, if I were Mbappe I think I would murder all my teammates while they sleep tonight. Lad scored a goddamn hat-trick (plus the last penalty) and still lost the trophy. I’d be reeeeeeally pissed off.

  3. This Martinez guy is machine on penalties. Idk how he is that good. Some GKs are always shit on penalties no matter how much they train, but this guy has mastered it so much that you can always count on him to stop at least 1-2.

  4. They shouldn’t have waited until the 70th minute to start playing. Congratulations to Argentina. >!Funny, I hear fireworks and car horns outside. And I’m in France.!<

    Edit: And I guess some Anglos in the comments section are still mad from their defeat to France.

  5. Argentina exposed France’s weakness while Di Maria was in the game, but then France’s players individual skills kicked in and made a turn, giving hope and a thrilling game. Messi was “that guy” and Mbappé almost was too, but he’s young and maybe if Dechamps leaves he becomes better than Benzema.

  6. I am so happy that Messi can end his amazing career as a World Cup winner. Well deserved, but France did an amazing job too. Mbappé is an incredible player, and even tough I am super happy that Argentina won, my huge respect to France and Mbappé.
