Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

[DonAK]

yeah definitely, our rivalry with the French is huge so most of people was rooting for Argentina, except maybe some Juve fans because Ronaldo played for them

Well is of Italian heritage too

I'm going to have a hard time sleeping tonight, lmao.

Was a few days away from starting graduate school when Argentina lost that final v Germany, and I was shell shocked for a good bit. I think this French team is stronger than that German team (their attach was nowhere near Mbappe)...so it's such a feat to come back from that loss to now win 8 years later.

 

[raskolnikov]

I think Argentina's most important players this wc:
Messi
Martinez
Alvarez
Mcallister
Fernandez
Di Maria

Byt even guys like Otamendi, Romero and de paul played a big part in some matches.

Yo the WC timings are so shite for you Yankees.

Such a dry uninspiring time to watch a WC final.

This is the 1 thing I hate when I'm in the US.

They will get us in 4 years. Be watching matches in the middle of the night...

Nah, most of the games in the States will be on the morning to midday NFL slots I'd assume.

So between 7pm to 10pm CEST for us in most of Europe.

Yup, even though, Otamendi tried many times in many games to lose the game for Argentina.
Everyone makes mistakes though and in the end, it didn't matter.

He's a highlight commentrator.

Average throughout the game.


Shines with his poetic musings in the big moments.


"Roma have risen from their ruins. Manolas the Greek God in Rome."

Maybe, but you gotta love it.

For the Ballon d'Or, if Messi has a similar impact in CL with Mbappe for PSG, he should win it.

I hope they are out in Last 16 vs Bayern to make it clearer. Win - win.

Winning his 5th makes him even with Ronaldo with UCL wins. But also he will 100% become a PSG legend if he helps leads them to their 1st CL. It's a bonus to his record, but the opportunity is there to take and the trio with Mbappe and Neymar will most likely end after this season as they will all depart IMO.
