My understanding is that you really start printing money once you get to champions league
Wow the World Cup just changes on two goals by France in 30 seconds…
Unreal game. Feelin like PKs proly?
Maybe PKs, but there are going to be chances for the team that wants to close this out.
Ha. Great call!
Best WC final I can remember. Messi the GOAT!
Wow craziness- definitely not uneventful.
Congratulations to Messi.
I’ve gotta say, though – it’s kind of a shame to see a great match decided on PKs.
Man both teams tried to end it in OT to your earlier point
If there was only 1 soccer game you watched in your life, this is the one.
This goalkeeper for Argentina, Martinez – something tells that me could be an NHL goalie:
Will Papi be available on Tuesday? Short recovery time
Winner!
Driving to St Moritz, Switzerland during the game… my wife was taking pictures out the window…
… made her take a picture of my boys watching the World Cup in the back seat over 4G not looking out the window… LOL!
We got to the hotel in time for extra time and the pens.
Best final EVER!
EPIC!!!
Watched on tape delay because it was my daughter’s birthday. That was a top 5 sporting event I’ve ever watched. Absolutely epic!
I saw it live and am working mostly from memory, but after approximately 85% of regulation had elapsed, there was:
- Penalty on Argentina and successful PK by Mbappe
- Equalizer by Mbappe on a great finish after a cross
- The Messi rebound goal after a clever 1-2 passing on a ball played long
- The inadvertent Argentinian handball to give Mbappe a hat trick on the PK
- Arguably the play of the game when Martinez saves a shot with his legs after the Argentine center back misplays a ball over the top
- All of the PK drama, leading up to Montiel (who had the hand ball penalty) securing the win
What am I forgetting? I know there were at least a couple of other chances in there, too.
Happy Birthday to your daughter! The best
