Fr I was so mad and had tears in eyes lolol ❤ goat messi

Messi's penalty in the shootout was RIDICULOUS! That ball was so slow I couldn't believe it. Talk about ice cold

[@clivetinashe]

Thank you for acknowledging the save at 120mins by martinez. He is the true hero

[@Lavidaloca559]

From Morocco, congratulations to our Argentine brothers in the World Cup. We love you. Football brings us together

[@Mmekris]

Giroud had a header - only France chance - and dechamps subsituted brilliantly. First half. Poor. But bravo for doing all. Messi has my heart ❤️ best World Cup final. Mbappé shined. It was brilliant !

[@justsomeguywithamustache2901]

As a die hard Messi fan, my respect for mbappe has increased, even though griezmann was the best player for France in the previous matches, mbappe was the best player for France in the final, i hate to say it, but in terms of numbers if he keeps this consistency up, he could surpass Ronaldo in goals and Messi in assists, but in terms of skillset and FOOTBALL IQ, Messi, r9, Zidane and maradona are on another level with that

[@anshumansahu1087]

Mbappe was the best player in the pitch yesterday.

You say once the two changes with Thuram and Kolo Muani were made then France looked to dominate the physical part of it. France were still dead until about 70+ minutes, so we have to commend the defense of Argentina.

France is lucky they have mbappe. If not for those 3 misses from lautaro in the extra time. The lost would have been worst. Vamos argentina ❤️💙🤍

Argentina is lucky, France best players, including the ballon d'or benzema, were not around. Can you imagine France team with ngolo kante, Paul pogba, karim benzema, kimpembe, and Christopher nkounkou. Mais C'est la Vie!

Messi took a total of 7 penalties during this World Cup run. 5 during normal play and 2 during penalty shootouts. (This is not hating , just stating facts) Messi was comfortable taking both penalties today no matter to start the game or finish it.

Was I dreaming or did I see Macron on the podium shaking hands with Messi and ARG players as they going for their medals??

[@nitheesh2495]

Wondering what would be ESPN's caption if ronaldo scored few penalties? Still remember after the first match for Portugal against Ghana espn was going crazy arguing about a soft pen which was awarded to Portugal and ronaldo scored after Messi and ARG started to get softest of penalties all matches ESPN not even talking about it and rather posting penalty was incredible. WOW.

[@projekstilez]

yo, don’t try to bring ronaldo in the convo. Get out.

When are you guys going to talk about the penalties that Argentina have receive this world. Person could have literally bet that Argentina was going to get a penalty in the final. ARGENTINA was playing at an advantage since the lost . They got a favorable calls most teams fall behind to a penalty and had to change their game plan they were chasing the Argentina which then left them exposed to get back in the game .

Remove emotions from the GOAT debate. The world cup is the greatest competition and the biggest in soccer. To be the greatest you have to win the biggest challenge. The bar has been set for the GOAT and that is three world cups(wins). There's a desperation to re-engineer the foundation and the structure of the GOAT debate so that it is biased towards Mess, it seems like rigging the debate in favour of Messii!! Can someone tell me why Messi hasn't won three world cups when he's infact been to several? It is because it is very difficult to win one! Three world cups is a very high bar for Messi! And it is not like Messi hasn't been to a world cup, he's been to a couple! Messi wins one and he's the GOAT!! No, there's someone who has three world cups. Winning one and being declared the GOAT is really lowering the bar so that Messi can get over the line, this makes Messi look weak! Messi is great but not the greatest. Being the greatest is not easy, Messi and Ronaldo would tell you that. There is so much bias, bigotry, prejudice etc in the GOATSHIP debate, so the best way to overcome all that bad stuff is to look at the numbers, numbers don't lie! Look at Messi's, Ronaldo's, Pele's and Maradona's numbers then decide. Numbers are the fairest way to compare!
