Scaloni also played a major role in argentina’s success. But Di Maria was removed as he was not fit to play the full 90 which was unfortunate. But truly, If Di Maria was fit the match would’ve ended within the 90. Instead we witnessed the greatest world cup of our lives and our GOAT, Lionel Messi finally lifted his dream.

[@Scarlet547]

Agree, Di Maria didn't played against the Dutch and the Croatia game. So putting him against the France right off the bat was a gamble move, since he hasn't played yet and wasn't 100 percent fit. However, Scaloni made the right choice and it worked. I honestly feel like it would've been best to put paredes in because he could've brought more stability and more control in the midfield, having four midfielders. Also the moment France scored their first goal, I felt that Paredes should've been brought immediately to help out control the game with Enzo and Mac. Or maybe Dybala, adding another attacker to keep on attacking France, not letting them breath. He could've brought Lautaro Martinez early, I know that he wouldn't have done nothing impactful like Di Maria or Julian, but I personally feel he could've handled well against the two French CBs and been more dangerous as to what we saw in the last minutes of the match. Julian played so good, but I felt like he was sealed completely off, leaving only Messi and Di Maria attacking and piercing through the French defense.

18:27 Wtf?!?!? Portugal is one the best attacking team I've ever seen in the world cup with Pepe and Rubin Diaz two of the best defenders in the world. They are a super team, more then france.

[@muhammedramshadm5928]

That bro there with laptop just cooking that ronaldo fan😂😂🔥

[@Droidd1993]

Messi is the One & Only G.O.A.T🐐

[@florencia-es.simple]

About DI María. He was known to be playing with a muscle overload. So if you pay attention he has played for 30 minutes , max. So scaloni usually chooses to put put him the last 30m. So this time he chooses to put him to start, he decided to leave him 40m instead of 30 because he was at his moment. If he had chooses to let him playing yeah the game woyld have stayed amazing , but he could have end his career, he is not a baby . Also the game also changed as france did some changes. Meaning , things are meant to happen , we don't always have someone to blame . Nice video and reaction . Thank you

[@carolinafilossi2341]

Muchas gracias por esta reacción!!! Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷😘

[@zuggygaming2536]

Ok, I has to pause and come THANK YOU for giving Angel Di Maria his very much deserved accolades. Yes Messi is the absolute GOAT but Di Maria has been his sidekick and deserved the cup just as much. El Fideo is so underrated world-wide (Not here, in Argentina, we love him) and I'm so glad you guys aknowledged him! Thank you! (And yes, he was hurt, and it was known he wasn't going to be able to play the full 90 mins -let alone 120- of the match. That was also suposedly his last match with Argentina's national team) And ok paused again on THE most INCREDIBLE SAVE OF ALL TIME at minute 123, and yeah totally, it happened so fast I feel like during the match nobody was able to take it in, fully, like, that was the exact moment Dibu Martinez became the absolute hero of the match. The arrival to the airport in Argentina was on Monday at 2,30 am. It took the bus 2 hours to traverse the 5 miles from the airport to AFA's training complex where the players were staying because of the amount of people that went to Ezeiza to welcome the champions to the country.

[@shaan_Finland]

Thanks guys for your lovely review. This was the best world cup i e ever seen. So entertaining ❤

[@elcambiollego]

the chances that Messi created and were wasted by Argentina and Barcelona are mind blowing, his assist numbers are high but the spectacle he gave is legendary.

[@carlomikhailreid4365]

one of the greatest individual performances we have ever seen at a worldcup

[@amilcarblasquiz5287]

I am proud that the goat is from my country, I am proud to have been born in the same city as LEO MESSI💙🤍💙🥺😍

[@zolikingsthorpe7297]

...and Di Maria

[@yasukegames258]

Most managers don’t let di Maria play the whole 90 mins…he is like their secret weapon

[@charlenemasset3160]

I'm French and the final WC has been so hard to watch because of course I would stand for my national team but i'm a huge Messi fan since his debut! It was a phenomenal final and as sad it was for France, Messi deserved it 100% after reaching so many semi final and final in the WC... I just was so happy and sad, because u have to be happy to recognise greatness when u see it

[@CrowdyAC]

As far as you want to compare Maradona and Messi: Why is almost noone mentioning, that Maradona never won a Copa América in his career. He reached 3rd place in 1989. (don?t get me wrong,...both are phenomenal players)

[@Naahi95]

Yep, Messi has both now! Best player in history

[@Rezan01]

And the finallissima!

[@engineer1978]

Dear Millenial, could you please use the web to get at least the right info? Do it for you not for me. Maradona had won both Copa America ('91 & '93) and the Finalissima as well. Love them both Messi and Maradona (RIP), and together with Pelé(RIP) without doubt the greatest players ever. Maradona's prime was short compared with Messi and Pele, but enough to transform a forever "bottom scratcher" Napoli to win the Scudetto and UEFA. His performance in the '86 World Cup is still unsurpassed and probably it will never be. This is why kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2KVpGpmrrpmabs And yea, is all in the same bloody match, please come and see, there are cookies and milk Millenials

[@CrowdyAC]

@@engineer1978 well...i am not a millenial...and although Argentina has won both competitions, maradona was not part of the team. Failure to keep his off-field activities in check led to him being banned from the 1991 Copa America as Maradona failed a drug test. Argentina went on to win the Copa America in his absence. The following Copa America, Maradona withdrew from the Argentina squad after having a dispute with his team.

[@davidlynch1263]

Messi is the GOAT. 2x World Cup Player of tournament 7x Ballon d'Or winners 3x European Championship Best Player 2x FIFA Player of tournament 6x European Golden Boot 10x LaLiga Champion 1x World Cup Champion 1x Copa AmericaChampion 4x UEFA Champions 3x UEFA Super Cup Champion 8x Supercopa de España Champion 7x Copa del Rey Champion 3x FIFA Club World Cup Champion 1x Olympic Gold Medal 1x U20 World Cup Champion 1x Laureus World Sports Awards 1x Finalissima

[@yuumory7375]

there is no debate

[@Mexi.r.n]

Messi has won under 20 World Cup, Olympics, finalisma Copa America, and now the World Cup. Ronaldo has won the European cup and UEFA Nations League Ronaldo is one of the greatest players to have played the game but do not compare him to Messi. Messi is the most decorated player in the game of football of all time and the GOAT. Even Maradona and Pele didn't win it all.

[@scottmeehan2422]

I loved messi requilme celebration aimed straight at van gaal for way he treated requilme at barca.

[@broganmcintosh3711]

it was the most entertain world cup ever and love it love you guys content and i agree with what you said about messi and di maria lets hope us and mexico and canda can be the same in 2026 cheers guys

[@CongresoCOFEI]

It's not only about how he plays, how imortant he is for football, it's also about the exemplary life he has (man of family, respectfull, good person).

[@julianwilcox399]

Maradonna ,as good as he was, actually won very little other than the world cup, He didnt have a stellar club career, Ronaldo actually went off injured early on in the Euro final that Portugal one against France and they played better without him because they werent trying to only get the ball to him anymore

[@estanislao9677]

Argentina. Messi fan and not Maradona’s. But you should check what Maradona has done in Napoli, he was a f…g beast man. A club that was not to win like they did with Diego. Messi my number 1. But dont take Maradona for grunted

[@yourstruly5493]

Are you kidding. Maradona took mediocre Napoli to peak of European football, when Serie A was best league and AC Milan was a behemoth.

[@davidmcnulty8181]

White hoodie guy is killing mee for real for real

[@peternyamato6818]

The argument about Cr7 doing it in different leagues compared to Messi is the biggest fallacy in football. He was going to the biggest teams with the best chances to win the CL. Messi staying with Barcelona, the vagaries of football over that long a period of time actually lessened his chances of winning more CL's because one team will have peaks and troughs. If CR7 did what Maradona did, NOT go to a Juventus or Milan but Napoli, a team that was fighting a relegation battle the season before and taking them to the top of European football, when the UEFA cup was a big trophy, and winning two Scudettos when they had never ever won one prior, that was an incredible achievement

[@hostin1995]

I was in the stadium 🏟 and i witnessed the best football match in the history. messi is the goat

You guys have to react to the way we argentinians celebrated here. You will understand what is passion about football. And why this was so important for us.

[@noeruxd4048]

Now after the World Cup "GOAT Debate is over".

[@mohannagare4830]

There was never a debate for true football fan.. Messi>>>>>

[@joepapas1081]

2 occasions football made me cry were Aguero scoring the winning goal for Man City vs QPR 2012 and Argentina winning the worldcup. I am not an Argentine but still get the goose bumps and tears anytime I watch video of Argentina's victory.

[@ArgentumFox]

To answer your question about why Di Maria was removed, it was a communication error. Scaloni was attentive throughout the game in case Di Maria felt bad and regularly asked him how he was doing. In the last check-up, they misunderstood each other and Scaloni thought that Di Maria was asking him to be taken out because he was exhausted.

[@Daken11]

15:54 The reporter represented every single one of us football fans !

[@a.gallardo4321]

25:05 If I'm not wrong Scaloni asked Di Maria if he could keep playing, Scaloni misunderstood Di Maria (that said yes) and took him out

[@bigmouthentertainment3095]

Some of the knacks football opinions in this vid had me creasing

[@Martaalicia32]

Estamos felices primero por nuestro capitan Messi, la selección de jugadores,director técnico y cuerpo técnico ,nos dieron ejemplos de vida, después de perder con Arabia Saudita, nos mostraron como ante las caídas tenemos la obligación y responsabilidad de levantarnos, que si trabajamos en equipo y unidos todo puede lograrse, que el respeto y la unidad que lograron fue también fundamental , uno no percibía jugadores " estrellas", eran todos "uno" con un mismo objetivo.Jugadores como Messi, Higuain, Di María, De Paul, y hasta el director técnico Sr Scaloni durante años fueron menospreciados y maltratados por la prensa argentina.Nunca entenderé porque si ganan son dioses y héroes pero si pierden las críticas son despiadadas, crueles.En definitiva es un deporte jugado por deportistas que pueden tener sus momentos de alto rendimiento pero que también como personas pueden atravesar momentos personales que no les permiten rendir cómo se espera ya sea por lesiones, altibajos emocionales... Esta selección nos dió ilusión, alegría, esperanzas, y ya cuando pasamos a semifinales consideramos que ya habíamos ganado.Ellos cargaron con mochilas muy pesadas y todos los argentinos estabamos tratando con nuestro apoyo de aliviar esa carga. era el último mundial de Messi, con un director técnico " sin antecedentes " según la prensa argentina", con jugadores muy jóvenes que creían no estaba a la altura de esta competencia, con un país que por la crisis económica, social, política, productiva , se aferraba con uñas y dientes a esta copa mundialista sabiendo que era nuestro recreo emocional que necesitábamos para aliviar preocupaciones sabiendo que terminado este mundial de fútbol volvíamos a nuestros problemas.Ellos también se esforzaron mucho por nosotros.Sortearon críticas, mundiales perdidos, lesiones, pero lograron sobreponerse a todo.Tendran que venir a Argentina y ver un clásico River, Boca, por decir estos equipos y tendrán la experiencia más inolvidable de sus vidas.Pagaran por un encuentro deportivo , pero en realidad se encontrarán con dos espectáculos ,uno los partidos y otro los fans con sus canticos ,saldrán de las canchas tarareando las melodías,esto es inevitable.Y que decir de nuestro país, tenemos los escenarios geográficos que puedan imaginarse, desiertos, selvas, valles, glaciares, montañas, mares, petróleo,gas, ganadería,agricultura diversa,turismo ,gastronomía de primer nivel, etc etc etc., Lastima que desde hace décadas no logramos elegir a nuestros gobernante.Disculpas por lo extenso del mensaje.

Yes indeed Messi and Maradona are in different Era and people should not be compared them. They both have their best. But despite the fact that MESSI IS IN ALL GENERATIONS OF HUMANITY. He respect, love, honors and thankfully for what MESSI has done. Unforgettable and emotional tears of Joy for all of Messi and Argentinian fans all over the world.

[@Heimcode2433]

I can’t stop watching this highlights of Messi and agentina World Cup joy ❤

[@iheartbb]

@20:00 It’s crazy because Portugal had a stronger team than Argentina. Slightly stronger. Ronaldo was coming off an incredible season at ManU as well - stats wise. Cancelo, Leao, Felix, Bruno, Carvalho, Névés, Pepe, Ruben Dias… Portugal had an incredibly strong team.

[@iheartbb]

Also, there are always players who unexpectedly perform well, like Goncalo. Argentina were one of the favorites but the truth is this cup was Portugal’s to throw away: Portugal, France, BRAZIL and GERMANY.

[@leo-dg2sc]

Si decís que Portugal es mejor equipo que argentina!! No sabes nada de fútbol. Cr7 no destacó en nada está copa del mundo. No solo se necesita jugar bien, es necesario tener pasión por la camiseta y tu país.

[@sararubyvera1937]

In argentina there's feeling of accepting that Messi is better than Maradona. We're kind of leaving this last one behind. We love him but we know lio is better. Diego predicted that long time ago and he was proud of that.

I am from Argentina and let me tell you that in my 35 years of life there has not been a mobilization as big as winning the cup. More than 6 million people gathered for the same feeling without any kind of call, we just all knew what had to be done.
