Congratulations to Argentina!
Best soccer match I’ve ever seen even if decided on PKs, which I dislike (sue me, I’m golden goal partisan—in a sport where initial possession means so little and scoring is so sparse, it’s a no-brainer to me. Football is a beautiful game, PKs entertaining but more of a skills challenge than a game IMO. It’s kind of a struggle for me because a game like this deserves to go to the very end, too).
Congratulations to both deserving teams. Good to see Messi add to his legacy.
Obligatory: fuck FIFA. I wish there were a more deserving steward of this game.

Definitely the best of the best. Just at the moment when an Argentinian win was going to happen, France came back, not once but twice. For a legend like Messi, this is how it should end. Congratulations Argentina.

A GG would’ve gotten us past Belgium in 2014 so I’ll admit my bias @Seul
I do understand how it and silver goals played out and why they moved from them but it just seems like a more rational way to fairly determine the better football team.
I will rotate on whether I will deign to pay FIFA to attend a 2026 match from now until then.

Repeat of above post minus Rashford! @louisbosco you managing to catch many of the games over there? Martinez and Casemiro are beasts

@AdamC yeah I’ve been watching all of the games so far. Just watched the CL win against Barca this morning! Fred’s also an underrated player at the moment. Playing like prime rivaldo
