KernowCanary 214 Posted December 18, 2022 172 goals in the entire tournament, a record!. Argentina almost made it a situation where they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, but Messi now has a World Cup and the Messi/Ronaldo debate is over as far as I’m concerned. What a match, and the best team won. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted December 18, 2022 Terrific match. Had everything bar a sending off or punch up. Messi has the full set now and he deserves it. And now Sir Geoff can say he scored a hat trick and won. I fear the post mortem on this tournament won't be anything to do with football. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 2,627 Posted December 18, 2022 I still think a fully fit French squad without a sickness bug reeking havoc would have made a better game of it, and probably won. Sadly wasn't to be. Mbappe Vs Haaland could well be the next Ronaldo Vs Messi. Messi finishes off in style inspiring his international side to victory, something he'd struggled to do until now. In fact, in previous tournaments people generally felt underwhelmed by him, especially in the side he is in. Did not like their gamesmanship, they were lucky not to see red for a couple of tackles. I for one hope this approach to the physicality is retained for domestic leagues, along with the added time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
