What a tournament it's been thus far! I'm not going to lie, when france scored twice so soon, I truly believed they had the momentum to win.
I find it incredible that France just began playing 80 minutes into the World Cup final and nearly escaped punishment.
In the opening 45 minutes, France only made 11 touches. They were essentially just sprinting behind the ball.
Early in the second half, France cranked up the pace and after around minute 80, they where back out of nowhere, just crazy.
Those last 15 minutes of the second half and then all of overtime was nail-biting intense. One of the best championship games in sports history!
Messi is the GOAT and well deseved win for Argentina! He can finally complete his trophy cabinet.

I think that Messi deserved to be the world champion. The Argentina team would not have won this award without Messi.

Argentina dominated France for like 70 minutes, conceded 2 Goals and still went on to play with them on eye level.

I can't agree with you. Argentina was dominant against France in the final. I didn't watch all the matches of those two teams, but the final deservedly went in favor of Argentina if you ask me.
And also I don't agree that Brazil was joke.

I couldn't agree more. Croatia was not a top contender and Brazil should've beaten them.

The national team of Argentina showed us real football. But let's be honest, if Argentina didn't have a player like Messi, there would be no victory.

Argentina - Saudi Arabia - 1:2. Sometimes it is useful to start from the worst. After the death of Maradona, his soul moved into Messi. It is clear that at the age of 35, Messi was enlightened, he was not only a star, but also for the first time at the World Cup - a real leader of the team. And the team, which included many young players, for whom Leo is a god, was ready to die for him.Scaloni turned out to be a very flexible coach from a tactical point of view. The team has never repeated the formations in two matches in a row and has never released the same squad. All the time there was some kind of adjustment for a specific opponent, and there was never such a thing: “Leo will come out and decide.” And that's why Leo went out and decided. Because there was a team on the field.Last year's victory at the America's Cup for the first time in 28 years played a huge psychological role, especially the fact that Brazil was beaten in the final at the Maracana. This took a huge burden off the shoulders of the Argentines, they believed that they were capable of anything at all.Very timely received a click on the nose from Saudi Arabia. Here, however, two options were possible. Either the team falls apart and quarrels, as happened to the Belgians after the loss to Morocco (and in the second round), or, on the contrary, it additionally unites, understands that, according to Messi, “now every match until the end of the tournament is the final”, and turns into a gang . True, in the first half with mexico, she was only a gang, forgetting about football. But then one blow from Messi - perhaps even the main one for Argentina in this tournament - turned everything upside down.
