Good for Argentina and Messi. Be as unsportsmanlike as you want, they just won the biggest tournament on the planet and let the best player ever retire in peace (eventually anyway)

Only spoiled by the Co commentators ( amongst others - but Danny Murphy takes the award in this category ) waxing lyrically every time Messi blew his nose, tied his boots or left the field for a piss. Thank f*** it’s over.
PS still the greatest World Cup of all time.

Bonkers. What a finale. Messi gets his fairy tale ending and we all get Piers Morgan crying his eyes out.
And that second Argentine goal
was an absolute classic and will be talked about for years.

Definitely. It had Carlos Alberto vibes about it.

Well, what a final.
French bottlers suddenly found their bottle.
Argie bastards lost theirs.
Then they found their bottle again.
What a game of football...

Carlos Alberto 1970 is of course the benchmark, but that Argentina goal was right up there, a superb team effort.

Piers in tears? Poetic justice.

Now the dust has settled, and the emotions have been taken out of it, I think that has to be considered as one of the most dramatic and entertaining World Cup finals of all time.
It was like a playoff semi final. Incredible.

Thing is it works because it's easy to do, doesn't depend on anything pre-determined, and often produces a decision based on 10 kicks or fewer.
I'm not their greatest fan either but struggling to find an alternative answer.

I love Messi, but I think this myth he’s the best player ever has been peddled by Pepsi and the various World Cup sponsors to such a degree that it’s taken over everything ever.
Kinda felt like that this World Cup was more about Messi getting his fairytale ending than him actually being the best player in the world. I thought Di Maria was by far the best player tonight
Best World Cup final though, even if it’s probably the worst World Cup in terms of quality of football. It’s rare you get a World Cup final that dramatic. What a game of football.

Shout out to a country with a population of under 4m who continue to be awesome at sport and especially football.
3rd place in their first WC in 98
Runners up in 2018
3rd place again in 2022
Produced a generation world class player who has deserved mention in the same breath as Messi and Ronaldo alongside many others.
Really only a goalscorer short of doing better this time out.
Love you guys

Better than England, that's for sure. Who are sadly to say, are only good at losing.Shout out to a country with a population of under 4m who continue to be awesome at sport and especially football.

Not me. He's not a winner. Never was in his career. Nice guy. But as Roy Keane said tonight 'England are too nice' when they were talking about Argentina's antics.
As much as internally and morally you think England will deliver, they won't. You need a bit of an edge to win big tournaments.
That's why devilish countries win these World Cups more than England. We are too nice.
Once we start believing in ourselves and becoming more ruthless, we might get there.

Problem is, England still keep apologising and bending over for past experiences which had nothing to do with the players that were born today.
The history of hooliganism. The history of the British Empire. We are feeling like we don't deserve to be on the same stage because of our sins.
Seriously, England need to get that ruthlessness back. That's the only way they will win something. Without feeling bad about it.
I think Stevie Cooper would bring that mentality back. But f*** off FA

The England national team were certainly favoured not to get an international ban in the 80's, it makes me cringe when our appalling FA shout so loud against others these days. The kneeling is absurd.Problem is, England still keep apologising and bending over for past experiences which had nothing to do with the players that were born today.

I am glad they kept kept Southgate though. Steve was on obvious potential successor.
I think overall this world cup has been a success, a better event than anything probably since Italia 90.
The authorities putting proper added time on killed the increasing scourge of timewasting. That will help the game a lot moving forward.
Now they need to end the ridiculous penalty kick shoot-outs to settle drawn games. My solution 7 aside AET, next goal winner, maybe with the ref having the power to shorten extra-time if both teams are clearly playing for a draw.
