Rather good contest between them. Congrats to Messi, and glad to see him on top.
IMO, one of the worst WC ever. Most matches were extremely boring, even the final wasnt that good, the first 70 min was sleeptime and everything ended in the worst possible way, decided by penalties. I think at the final they should still use the golden goal rule, so there is no excuse, you have to attack if u want to win.

Couldn't agree more. There is always some element of luck in any contest, but integrating it to the extreme of penalty shots as we saw today is just wrong. Too bad for France. I doubt they'll ever change that rule, but it does suck.
Zero doubt.
Messi became GOAT and Mbappi (loses with a hat trick??) proved he is the best player RN…in one match.
No other sporting event can claim that.
The only (but significant) problem with this game was deciding it by penalties instead of OT. That does not need to be the way to do that
And it’s still the best single game, in any sport, I have ever witnessed
It's done.
Honestly, if considering the whole match, we did not deserve it. But what a remontada...! I guess the honour is safe at the end.
Stunned happy.
I bet! My sympathies were with Argentina (family friends there) but I had money on France.
Incredibly good and exciting finale! And to Argentina I say:

Fantastic game! A recent trip to England got me interested in football and this World Cup has made me a fan. The final was an absolute war. Either team could have won. It just came down to Martinez vs. Lloris. Exciting is an understatement. I was on the edge of my seat for 120+ minutes.

I'm British and followed football avidly in my youth, not so much recently. But "World Cup final", so I thought "must watch it". What a match! Best final, perhaps best match, I've seen. Non-fans, give this at least half an hour and watch "extra time". The beautiful game at its best. Messi, the old master, in a wonderful swan song, the young pretender Mbappé rising to glory, It was like the greatest of individual competitions (Borg vs McEnroe, Mohammed Ali vs Joe Frasier, ...) combined with the greatest of team performances. Don't think I've ever seen the like. Greatest sporting contest ever? It is a strange old game! The excitement of that late come back by France just ramped up the excitement to impossible levels, and then that extra time period with the two sides playing with all out excellence was just jaw droppingly wonderful...

That was a true roller coaster of a match. Mbappe dragging France back only to falter in the penalties. Messi finally cements his status as one of the greats with personal achievement of winning the world cup.
Honour beyond safe! I'm English, I feel proud that my team got to play such a team, and gave it a fairly close contest...
