Does this finally mean Messi > CR7?

 

Always was.

Can you imagine scoring a hat trick in the World Cup final and not winning it?

Indeed. Mbappe did not deserve to lose today. But Messi absolutely deserved to win. 

[Scruff]

WHO'S LAUCHING NOW MBAPPE YOU TWAT.

 

Argentina deserve it purely for having the best kit in the world.

That might be the best match I've ever seen. I'm shell shocked

France just fell apart in the shootout. Argentina were the better side for most of the game and the better team won.

Yeah, on the overall balance of the match they were the better team.

[Stopharage]

Got to love Aguero going full on John Terry.

Martinez’s save at the end was crucial. 

[Bacon Horsemeat]

So glad France woke up in the last 15 minutes of normal time. The best final I've seen.

Someone in the studio give Zabaleta a hug.

[ryodi]

When was the last time Villa had a World Cup winner in their squad? Got to feel this will be the peak for Argentina, Messi dragged them to this final and without him they would be nowhere.

Thanks Michael.

Remember Saudi Arabia beat Argentina? 😅

[The Fox]

What a game. Incredible stuff. The GOAT and possible future GOAT turning on the style. Best final of any of our lifetimes by an absolute mile.

if only because we didn’t end up with a dull 0-0 draw…

You know Ronaldo is absolutely seething right now.

I actually don’t know what to do with myself right now. Wanted to chill out and play games tonight but I’m too hyped.

Poor Ronaldo - footballers in November/December.

 

Messi wins the World Cup and scores 2 and a pen.

 

Mbappe scores hatrick in the final.

 

Loads of other players have great performances or score memorable goals including a Portuguese youngster who replaced him

 

Ronaldo’s highlight was a Piers Morgan interview.

[Calashnikov]

This result is worth it for all the salt from weirdo Messi haters, if nothing else.

It’s not as if he’s the greatest player of all time.

Why wouldn't you? What do you want them to do, Parachute Roy Keane in to say his penalty was lazy and he didn't run much during the match.

 

Last WC Game, look what he's achieved.

This final was so epic that Giroud getting subbed before half time feels like it happened a month ago - Saudi’s win feels like it happened in Brazil 2014.

[Stig]

Oooooooof that Argentinian commentary. Goosebumps.

[choddo]

Incredible match

One of the best to ever play the game, and today has literally won everything the game has to offer.

 

No idea why people would have such a reaction.

Yes.

 

Can you imagine banality that's run out of colourless green?

[Gabe]

They may be winners, but it's a hard Argentina team to even like, let alone love. I don't really about this all being about Messi winning either, I mean he is the best player in the world with or without a WC to his name and I don't think winning now changes the arguments about him/Pele/Maradona, they will continue to rage forever more.
