Thing is the Argentinians hustle but the Spanish will hustle just as much. BTW Spain to Argies is as much mother country as GB to US.

Messi is the greatest of all time, period. Comfortably ahead of even past era titans. Privilege to watch his career, also what grit the man has !!!!!

 

Yea.. he could have tried a few solo like the Norway guy did and failed. He made the best decision every time. Most of these inexperienced guys tried to become heroes. Even today England inside penalty area instead of shooting dribbling. 1 vs 2  became 1 vs 4 quickly Atleast 4 or 5 times they lost possession after trying to get near the goal. It is not defensive errors they made , they also made a lot of offensive errors.  Argentina is not even the best in this tournament. But just enough to do the basics right.

This is one of the most well deserved finals between more or less evenly matched sides - the European champion and South American champion.  
 

You can’t ask for more!! 

Technical mastery vs honey badger-like spirit. Couldn't have asked for a better final.

Thing is Argies avoided the Extra Time.....

 

They had already played that in their last match vs Switzerland. They have one less day than Spain.

 

Now it is okay. They will be fine for Sunday.

One day less rest. And this must have been an emotionally draining day for them because of the history of this rivalry. 

 

Advantage Spain. Not a fan of SFs on different days. Even in tennis, they have stopped doing that, Australian Open was the last to stop it btw, very recently.

I dunno - three days is enough to recover after 90 minutes.

 

The extra 30 would have killed them though.... but they avoided it.

They defended the lead against mexico with 10 players. They thought they could do the same here. This is not mexico lol  This is world no.1 ranked side.

This Eng team has many likable players. Phir bhi very satisfying to see them lose. 

 

Somehow can't get myself around to support the English (or even Brits like Murray who was a thorough gentleman) in anything, except when they play Pooks in cricket and hockey.

Kal pura din will be reading Eng tabloids and enjoying their meltdown videos, reddit bawal etc. Their fans are so entitled, shall enjoy the tears.

Triple blow for Piers morgan. 1) England lost 2) England lost to Argentina 3) England lost due to two assists from Messi

Tuchel went on a suicide mission after 1-0 lead, 7 defenders and trying to protect the box for 20 minutes? It was just a moment of time when messi made that perfect pass/cross.

Is it just me, Harry Kane doesn't turn up against big teams, in big games !!!!

There's a reason all his trophies have come at Bayern Munich, a club which has little to no competition in Germany.

France was missing a play maker like Messi yesterday. His crosses were unreal. Argentina were unlucky not score more goals.

The more I see current France the more I realize their most important player of golden generation was Paul Pogba
