Without Messi Argentina is not a team . Best team was France who break Argentina and make them cry. Result is on other way due to France lost on penalty.

[@EthanCruise]

I always have a problem with people saying this though. Like if Messi is the best player, you play around him obviously. I don't see anything wrong with that. To be fair, 2010, 2014, 2018, Argentina relied on him in an unnecessary way. This team basically did the hard and dirty work, and that allowed Messi to be more free. At 35, Messi is older, and the team didn't rely on him too much. Don't get me wrong, they relied on him, but they did not really rely on him in terms of needing him to do everything. Messi basically did everything because that's how he plays, but they all, all held their own.

And then deschamps changed his entire attack and it brought france on level terms. Especially going IMMEDIATELY OFF WITH giroud dembele before the first half, and then griezmann out too. Coman, kolo muani, and thuram all helped and it left argentina clueless. Scaloni was amazing for most of the game. Starting it was much better had france get no shots until after 60 minutes. Starting angel di maria on dembele’s side. That midfield is perfect de paul mcallister fernandez (crazy that if lo celso never got injured, they wouldnt be playing together). Romero was amazing all tournament. Scaloni took off di maria for left back acuna which is the right choice, but the changes that deschamps made allowed mbappe to be more focused on the ball. Coman stripped messi of the ball leading to the golazo mbappe. He was so far up the pitch, that everytime argentina lost the ball in the midfield france was ready to break dangerously. Extra time lautaro was so bad should have scored but helped create the messi goal It was just a masterclass by both managers honestly. 👏 👏

I told my son 'Argentina will win if the match ends up in penalty shoot out. Why? Because Hugo Loris is the worst penalty saver in the world while Emile Martinez is sure of saving at least 2 pen.. It lived up to expectations, dramas, full of suspect, rollercoaster of emotions. The match has all the sauce and pepper, Argentina was dominant in 70% of the time, Messi and Di Maria were exceptional but Mbabpe ultimately achieved his Golden boot dream thanks to Kingsley Coman and Kamavinga who added the much needed energy to wake up the sleeping French team. At the end Mbabpe got the Golden boot, Messi got the Golden cup. What a World Cup final we just watched in our lifetime

[@Gfresh844]

What a final. As someone who has been a Messi fan since he broke through at Barca, to see him win the world cup in possibly last game ever is just poetic. For me, he proved he was the best ever a long time ago. The needing to win a world cup argument has always been flawed; given a team wins a trophy, not one player. As great as he is, he's relying on ten others to do their jobs. That point was also perfectly demonstrated in this game; by the fact Mbappe scored three and still ended up on the losing team. Anyway, it's so unreal to see Messi win it. Not only is he so incredible as an individual but has always been such a team player. Even at 35 remains a class apart from the rest as an overall attacker. Mbappe has what it takes to become one of the best ever; yet as great as he is in terms of his speed, directness and finishing, Messi offers so much more with his passing and ability to dictate the play. To think he's still competing on the biggest stage with the best of this new generation just underlines further why he's the greatest of all time.

The best WC final ive ever seen(after 70 mins) in the best WC ever...never thought I would feel this bad for Mbappe...I thpught his performance alone desetved the WC again

[@ghg27689gf]

Messi was great. I am so happy he won it. He has given us people all over the world so much joy from his game. He really deserved it. People kept saying Maradona won it and Messi has not inspite of Messi having contributed so much to Argentina. So justice finally.

[@bcpac]

I don't know when I will stop remembering this Mundial....makes me happy It’s oct 22 2023… a player who I didn’t know was on the team is banned for testing positive for PEDs (steroids). Messi has been the most tested athlete for PEDs in history. His unplanned testing started like 2002. Do you think Real Madrid would not want him tested all the time?

[@Alrounderrrr]

Mr.Ottamendi suddenly thought at 78 min oh this game is so boring let’s make it as interesting

[@SerioussoccerfanYT]

Messi is Maradona everyday of the week, something which even Maradona wasn't able to sustain. He is simply the best.

[@jerry-st7rc]

He is truly better. Maradona was legendary and probably the most skillful player to touch a soccer ball. His club career is a different story cuz of the jack daniels and the booger sugar. We only really recognize maradona for his skills and international games and the hand ball which was the biggest injustice in the history of futbol.

[@oldskoolmusicnostalgia]

You couldn't be Messi in the 1980s, it is this simple. Football was more brutal. Maradona in just 1 World Cup (1986) suffered more fouls than Messi in 5 World Cup editions! Then you had all the leeches living off him. And Maradona didn't have the luxury of playing for a club that dominated its league and spent as freely as FC Barcelona. Napoli were almost paupers.

[@lifeuplifted18]

What a performance by Argentina. Thanks for the commentary guys, been an absolute pleasure ❤

[@dalmasodego5218]

point of correction not all around the country but the world the whole world is happy Messi toke it he stole our heart in his debut at Bacelona and we wished him the best retirement with the global trophy

that last save from martinez was amazing, then when shootout happent, i already knew, emi will save at least 2 kicker from france

Martinez is way, way better at penalties than Lloris. He was the matchwinner as he was in the qf.

[@tricky1506]

Truly the best player we've seen so far in professional football history. There simply is no other. This was a fitting conclusion to the end of the GOAT story. Likely bowing out of intl football with the world cup, a final puzzle piece of success that evaded him for so long. Messi has now done it all👑🐐

No

[@GuitarTuningOnline]

There is no GOAT story, question or whatever you are trying to make out of it. There are only best players of their generations. Don't take it personally, but it's all fanboy talk rubbish or personal taste. Mark all real football fans' words ...

[@AndTheRoadGoesEverOn]

The man completed football. Some h8ters will always remain, but the vast majority of the footballing world wanted to see him win this-and then he did. Along with the team he captained & who fought so hard. Never gave up.

[@HermSezPlayToWin]

Full credit to both sides for playing hard and fighting hard, but only one team can win and it was the right result in the end.

[@statetechguru4804]

The best team won, French team almost broke my heart and billions of hearts by netting 3 goals. But thanks to the Argentina for winning back from penalties. Now Messi got his well deserved World Cup.

He defintiely has, when he was younger he could run far more and did far more defensivley, also in some he ran his socks of backwards too (at barca).

Mbappe say south America football not the same level as European, what team got outplayed the 80 mins of the world cup final.

[@TheTalk23]

He didn't mean it in that way. Most of the Argentina squad plays in Europe for a reason. All the french players play in Europe for a reason and that's because European football is more difficult.
