Argentina VS France: Final

[Gassin's finest]

Can't say that I'm not a little disappointed, but what a final. Could have gone either way. I didn't watch a single match of this world cup until this one, and... well.

Really happy for Messi.

Whilst Ronaldo was whingeing to Piers Morgan, Messi was solely focusing on lifting the trophy.

Always be humble and always keep your eyes on the prize

I’m just laughing at Aguero coming down from the stands putting on a shirt and joining the celebrations. Cheeky fucker is going to try and bag himself a winners medal ?

John Terry did that in a CL final.

Could learn a lot from Messi. If he ever wants to put his name up alongside the true greats he needs to understand football is about both attacking and defending. Until I see him busting a guy to get back and to win the ball back regularly he'll just be another great forward player, and nothing more.

Honestly mate, what are you evening trying to suggest here? Just another great forward player....... Like Pele or Ronaldo or Maradona or Greaves......

Mbappe has nothing to learn from Messi and nothing to prove to you and the level of arrogance to suggest its even relevant is baffling.

Can't say I'm a fan of the goalie getting away with throwing the ball away. Call me a romantic but what's happened to even a semblance of sporting behaviour?

Prefer the penalty taker to take the ball up themselves, avoid that bollocks.

He's there too now I think.

Best world cup final in my lifetime absolutely enthralling, watched with my son, gutted for Hugo but absolutely delighted for Messi and Romero, think it was deserved, what a final though, just wow!!!

Bit John Terry, wasn't it?

I think Mbappe will win loads of Balon d'Ors but he'll never be GOAT over Messi for me.

I think you are right. I think Mbappe will be the best of his generation and will surely win lots of things but the talent of Messi I don't think will ever be seen again.

Not sure I get the line either. Did Ronaldo ever learn to defend as well? Mbappe is the next 10 years absolutely dominating. Has ice in his veins.

I think Argentina and Sportmanship dont go hand in hand - seen it all through the tournament. To be fair though, this is the world cup, no room for sportsmanship.

Also its worth a yellow so unless you give the keeper a red, what could you do.

Agreed. He may keep developing but his goal stats are no where near

I can’t get over that final, un fucking believable. What a World Cup

 

[easley91]

At least Hurst won with his hattrick.. ?

It’s the French though tbf..

 

[Hans Moleman]

Agreed. He may keep developing but his goal stats are no where near

4 world cup final goals by 23 years old isn't a bad goal stat
