Then again people almost always consider best offensive players as best in the world, but I think defenders and mid fielders don't get as much "goat" credit as they should. Beckenbauer ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mbappe is regarded as the best player right now, and Messi the best of all time. And they delivered. Most had Brazil and France as favorites, but Argentina had not lost a crazy number of consecutive games leading up to this tournament. Argentina clicked early, France took total control in evening the game up, and Argentina showed a ton of grit by sucking it up and gaining back the momentum to take the 3-2 lead. Great players, great teams, great game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfaddict1 Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 1. Wow, what a game! 2. Ruined by a ridiculous ending that I despise! Further accentuated in recent years by the hop, skip and jump setups before the pk’s 🤢. WC finals and we get a game of horse to decide the victor. Pathetic. I’ll add my notes that I wrote down during the match, but most were on goals and fairly obvious. 2017, my son, his GF at the time and I took in practices and games at the hard rock stadium. di Maria is wearing the green cleats. If I could share a video, you’d hear my voice mentioning it. These are screenshots from the vid. Cavani you can see in both shots also. This is a PSG practice (French top club). We also saw Messi practice with FC Barc, which was very cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great players, great teams, great game. Mbappe and Messi put 7 balls in the back of the net today. 7! 😳 The ebb and flow during much of the game turned into an all out frantic melee down the stretch. And the supporting casts were all on point today when it really mattered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to mention, Messi turnover gave Mbappe 2nd goal on breakout. Argentina’s 3-2 lead was a beauty… Messi (think Tom Brady brain and Barry Sanders joystick moves) so in tune knows he’s offsides and stops quick in a rush pass and boom, back to him and of course a perfect pass for a rip. Save and Messi rebound for his 2nd goal. France goal 3 Mbappe hat trick! Chicken wing elbow by defender gives the Superstar a PK netter. 3 min left in the match? Or close. Crazy finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the games are played on Tues and Wed. It’s an annual event and the final is a one off game. It’s very prestigious for soccer fanatics as it’s the best club teams going at it.

Needless to say, it was a very emotional day for her and Pop. Son and DIL’s dog was intensely watching! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s funny how during WC games (especially the final) the goal seems much smaller🤣. But the best team doesn’t necessarily win. And I don’t like that teams strategize to get to PKs to win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
