We`re more interested in debating whether goals scored in the third-place play-off should count towards the Golden Boot, GGR!
I hear Trump is there. Will he have a direct line to the onfield ref or will he have to go through his mate, Infantino?

He’s the pre-fight ring/cage announcer for the UFC and is brother of Michael Buffer who does the boxing.
Interesting story that they were separated in early childhood and never knew each other until after they both became famous for ring announcing

I’m liking the Spain attitude at the back. Playing only a few passes, and if nothing open, to midfield, it gets played long.
Far too many goals at all levels are given away by fannying around at the back and getting caught out. (Not mentioning us v Brazil…)

No different really to when a lower club plays similar to hold the rangers or Celtic to a draw - which in that instance we all celebrate/find amusing.
I would have thought the two teams making the final would have been closer matched and therefore had a more even game

^^^ A Red Card is meant to be dished out for a footballing offence. This was a criminal act. 🤔
The Spanish goal that was ruled out should have stood. 🤔
Messi making a pass and then purposely running + crashing into the Spanish player to win a free kick for himself when it should have been awarded to Spain 🤔
What`s the point of VAR if these antics are going to be allowed?
Argentina left a bad taste after a decent world cup. The footballing world needs to take action against thuggery

Reportedly Argentina players turned their backs on Spain receiving their medals and the trophy last night. Pretty classless Id say.
Netanyahu`s preferred winners , are you surprised?

I’m pleased Spain won. They play football in its most pure format. Nobody who loves football could condone the antics of the Argentinians. It’s a shame because they do possess some excellent players such as Messi, Alvarez, Martinez and Romero.

Take Messi out of that team and it`s only above average. By the way I think Messi should have got the golden ball. Other than the final he made telling contributions, sometimes amazing ones, in every game.

I wholeheartedly agree that Spain deserved to win the match, but lets not forget that Spain are cheating b@$tards too - the amount of playacting and diving etc they got away with throughout the tournament is ridiculous.

"Difference between passion and sportsmanship,back in the sixties,they had teams that were pure thugs,ask Celtic."
Check out 1966 World Cup 1/4 final - Antonio Rattin, Argentina captain.
The starting point for the introduction of red and yellow cards - thanks to English referee Ken Aston having a moment of inspiration waiting for traffic lights to change.

I’m very surprised Messi didn’t get the golden ball award. It would have been a fitting send off for perhaps the GOAT? Only Diego could challenge him for that

Thats just pandering to the media and such. Like participation awards and medals for 3rd place play offs. Golden Ball should go to a player from the winning team. He didn’t even show up in the biggest game of the tournament.

8 goals and 4 assists meant a very good personal tournament for him
As for not showing up in the final, hard to when greedy Spain kept the ball most of the time.

If you are going by this tournament alone up until the final I think Mac Allister and Fernandez were Argentina`s best players with their tremendous work-rate allowing Messi to walk about. They did have a pretty good draw with Algeria, Jordan, Cape Verde and Egypt too.
I had a feeling the current version of Messi might struggle(relatively speaking of course) against the really top teams and he didn`t do a great deal against Switzerland, England or Spain. He can still produce something out of the blue but he spent about 70% of the tournament walking.
I thought Rodri was a deserving winner of the player of the tournament, even if I don`t have a great deal of time for him. Thought he was outstanding against the French in particular.

Messis isn`t the force he was in his prime of course but I doubt they would have made the final without him. The problem they`ll have is replacing him.

Paredes a a disgrace at full time, trying to fight everyone and anyone.
Apparently he got a red card for his full-time antics.
^^^ A Red Card is meant to be dished out for a footballing offence. This was a criminal act. 🤔
The Spanish goal that was ruled out should have stood. 🤔
Messi making a pass and then purposely running + crashing into the Spanish player to win a free kick for himself when it should have been awarded to Spain 🤔
What`s the point of VAR if these antics are going to be allowed?
Argentina left a bad taste after a decent world cup. The footballing world needs to take action against thuggery
The players already wear flimsy ballet shoes 🩰, why not complete the kit with a tutu?

Don’t think you can single out Argentina for players trying to ‘win’ free kicks - every single team in the world does that, and there were plenty examples on show right across this World Cup
Think we all agree final was a one sided anti climax
Credit to Spain for being absolutely dominant on the day, but equally… they were basically unable to break Argentina down and translate all that possession into goals

Its a poor spectacle when you only have one team trying to win it in 90 minutes. At the end of the day you want to win it on merit, so the best team came out on top.

This is nothing new for Argentina, from 1966 (Ramsay animal statement), Celtic (as previously stated) 1978 final kept the Dutch team waiting 10mins before they appeared, they seem to revel in thuggery, without being penalised. The flag/ banner against England.
The scenes at the end of the showcase final were just incredible!
League teams in the past have been banned from competitions for similar to yesterday’s battles. Kick them out/ ban them for a World Cup.
Should happen but it won’t, a fine which they will pay from their winnings!

All teams, England included and even scotland use antics to get fouls or other players into trouble. The difference in this match and in Argentine football is the blatant violence that went on during and after the match.
I dont really like Bellingham, but something irked him against Argentina, he came over as an angry player, is that because of his antics or had Argentina been bad in that match too
