What a great goal by Messi to go up 3:2.

3:3 what a game!

 

[Marcel]

3:3 and penalties

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

This is an absolute classic. As s neutral fan with Germany not in it, this was entertaining to watch. Its great not really caring who wins.

On to a penalty shootout.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Congrats Argentina! A very worthy World Cup final and champion!

Now Messi can retire.

 

[tomo pauk]

Indeed, congratulations to Argentina.
(one of the best finals I've watched in the last 40 years)

 

[Marcel]

Yup. Great final, great comeback from France. But Argentina was the better team.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

And now we wait 4 more years… lol

 

[ARTESH]

Well, Congrats to our Argentinean members! [I don't know if we have anyone or not]

 

[Marcel]

We used to have some, but haven't seen them for a while

 

[ARTESH]

I hope they come back, even if not being active.

Despite this being probably the best game in years or even decades, I'm still not won over to the sport. I gave it a chance, I really did.

I respect the talent and the concept. However for me, too much of the game is about theatrics in the box and the resulting ridiculous 80 to 90% chance of scoring on a penalty kick. That ruins it for me. I know that millions of people will disagree but, hey, that's my opinion.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Well you know what they say?

Opinions are like assholes. We all have one, and they all stink.



Just messing with you. lol

But that is why its popular. The Argentines will celebrate that they won and the French will insist they were robbed.

What you just want to keep playing overtime?

I'm ok with shootouts at some point. Just not when my team is playing.

Have nets set up at mid-field and play 4 on 4 across the pitch. Someone will score pretty quickly

Best plan ever.

I can just remember when all knockout games including the final were re played if it was equal after extra time, it became a battle of endurance that couldnt survive the television era. The longest went to a fifth replay a total of eleven hours (extra time wasnt played then, it was brought in to avoid replays).
