This is the best goal keeper in the world cup,  a goalkeeper with confidence to save every shot coming from france. He is one of the reasons why Argentina was able to defeat France. Elimiliano martinez is not just a good goalkeeper but funny one who does funny things to crack the ribs of fans.

No doubt we have one of the best final in recent many decades with two top quality teams were on ground for the title and better team won at the end with the tag of GOAT for legendary Messi which is now in list of all-time great footballers in history what a performance from him and Mbappé both were at the top of their game and done amazing stuff for the more than one billion fans around the world.
 
Now Messi is surely at the level of Greatest Maradona who was done this with the all help of hand of god, but he achieves with his skills and amazing performance throughout the tournament even having the biggest lost in their first match against Saudi Arab with the end of this event now we have end of an era because now after four years we will be having 48 teams and many other things change.

The disappointment was evident on mbappe's face throughout. I could feel his grief because it took a lot of effort to get to the final—it wasn't easy getting there from the qualifying rounds to the group stage and round 16—and because Mbappe has achieved history on a grand scale. Who is the goat among all the fights on social media, I ask? Still, I believe Messi has achieved more than Ronaldo given their respective records, though Ronaldo is still a legend who made history despite that.

It ended up being a spectacular match. If Argentina had won 2-0 after 90 minutes, this would have been a final to forget very quickly. But it didn't work out that way. Argentina gave up to 3 times the lead, but it is to the credit of the team that they still managed to win. France should have won in extra time, but the striker of France shot full at the keeper. The same player also missed a penalty. It was a big party today in Buenos Aires, this is what they have been waiting for since 1986. Now 3x world champion. Messi has equaled Maradonna, I do feel that in 1986 Maradonna had much more influence than Messi in this team.

Really? you have to talk to the French team then because I've seen some of them blame the referee that he was biased towards Argentina. This is just a dumb explanation by them because without his penalty kick in the second half, France would still be losing 2-0.

I think he did great, although he could've given a few more cards in this match because both teams were playing rather dirty. There was a lot of pushing and pulling between players. At least once it looked like they were going to start fighting.

That said, Argentina acted like assholes after the win, so maybe they didn't deserve it?

The last final match was won out of skills and experience of the players that took the penalties, and the France team made the selection having in mind that there is the possibility that their young players may not have the confidence to face the whole world to play such a global penalty. But on a general note the both teams are good in the finals match but just that the gods of soccer was with Argentina, that was why the won the cup after an intense 100+ minutes of play and resulting into penalty shootout that made Argentina to become the world cup winner for this year's.

Mbappe was the start of his teams but don't forget that even after he made a hat-trick but two goals were scored from the penalty point. On the other hand, Argentina had Messi and he played well, like Mbappe for his teams. That's why the game didn't finish in 90 minutes and even 120 minutes because both teams were near together and both stars played and performed very well.
It was the best to end of the story for Messi in the national games because he could take another achievement as his last national achievement.

Argentina finally won the World Cup. It goes without saying that Argentina had the large number of supporters on the gallery as well as all over the world. However, I noticed that the answer to why France is known as such a strong team, must have been found by watching the game on the field. When France came from 2 goals down and draw at the end, and when they came back from 1 goal down in extra time, no one could understand France can make it draw.  Spectators believe that Argentina will win the tiebreaker because their goalkeeper is experienced enough and finally that happened.

I wonder why people would think in such manner, the game was not easy for the both teams. What made Argentina to win was because that Argentina has more experience player that are very good in playing penalties.  The game was real and interesting from the two teams, they did well.

I think that Argentina won the title in the right time. Because from now on, I will be expecting a France domination starting in the World Cup. Because they have many young and talented players in their squad now. This generation is helping them very much for fighting for the World Cup title seriously for many years. I don't think that Argentina can win a World Cup title easily from now on. Especially after Messi's announcement like this was his last World Cup I just don't expect them to stay this much strong in the coming World Cups.

Messi is a game changer and a leader for Argentina. They can have really big difficulties in the absence of him. They will need time to rebuild their game to not depend on any player from now on.

It was a great final match. It was like a feature film looking for its main hero. Messi and Mbappe competed to be the hero of the night, but Messi was the winner. France never managed to take the lead in the match. If they had the scoring advantage once, I think they could have won the match. Argentina managed to take the lead twice in the match, but they were caught by Mbappe each time. They played well but it was not easy for them to win. France were at least as close to the cup as Argentina. It was a very good final match. I really enjoyed watching the match. One of the best World Cup finals I've ever watched. Congratulations to the Argentina fans.

The France team is becoming badly dependent on Mbappe. And I agree with you that the era of Giroud, Griezmann and Benzema is over. If France cannot find suitable replacements for these three players, they will become even more reliant on Mbappe. Mbappe is a great player no doubt, but relying on the performance of just one player is risky. I doubt if France can do well in the next World Cup. Several veteran players will retire. And without a worthy replacement, France's performance will weaken.

Argentina really dominated from the start of the first half, they played very aggressively. in fact, France was unable to offset the game from Argentina in the first half. in the first round, Ball possession was controlled by Argentina with 59%. they had 6 total shots, 3 shots on target, 3 shots off target. while France, really difficult to keep up with the game from Argentina. Scaloni's tactics and formation proved very effective in this match with a 4-3-3 pattern. in the second half, since he pulled out D Maria and was replaced by M. Acuna. The pattern of the game changed, the automatic attacks by Argentina became less.

On the French side, the entry of Kingsley Coman made the French game change slightly. and France was only able to score in the 80th minute, and a few minutes later Kylian Mbappe added his goal to make it 2-2. Overall, this fight is owned by Argentina. I guess, if D Maria hadn't been pulled out earlier. I'm quite optimistic, this fight will not end in a penalty shoot-out. nevertheless, this is football. often presenting something unexpected, and one thing for sure last night's final, featured a very cool and dramatic match.

Furthermore, I do not agree with the fact that the referee sided with either Argentina or France in the match. In my opinion, the match referee was quite neutral, and the decisions that were made were also accurate. In the final, there were three penalties taken, and in my opinion, none of them were controversial and none of them were calls that I would consider unfair. There was a very neutral attitude from the referee, even during the free kicks, in my opinion. So, in general, I don't feel that the referee took sides with either of the teams in this game.

I am happy that Argentina played very well till the end and won the world cup. Messi will be the happiest man as he sealed his football career with this year world, cup ,this year will be a remarkable year for the superstar. The cup world to me is a Christmas gift to Argentina that they got for themselves.

France have an undefeatable spirit in them which made them played tiredlessly and not giving up even after Argentina's two goals in the first half. The four young black players that came in from the bench,two in  the first half and two in the second half at the duration of 68mins or so brought hope to France when a PK was given to them. I am happy that Mbappe was still the highest goal scorer even though they came second,he deserves it more than Messi.

Congratulations Argentina, Many social media say you are supported by FIFA to the championship. I don't know, but this game was very entertaining, even after Argentina Won 2-0 I thought It was over. But it turns out that Mbaape is amazing. Made a Hatrick and forced Argentina to add time and ended Penalty.
I think Argentina Deserve the championship. Argentina's mentality and experience are better than france. Messi has more experience and that has made Argentina a success this year. Congratulations to Messi the complete end of his career, perhaps it would be more complete if Messi could bring the UCL Cup to France this season.

Argentina was lucky it was true. But their performance was better than that of France. France could not attack or counter-attack in the first half. Their performance was very poor. That's why they conceded two goals and fell behind. Although Mbappe's two goals in the second half saw them draw the match, the performance of France's players was not good enough. Also, Lloris's performance was not good in this match. Had Lloris performed well, it would have been more difficult for Argentina to win the match.

Mbappe played very well throughout the match. Mbappe's performance caught everyone's attention. But despite trying a lot, Mbappe could not become the champion. It is very difficult to become a world champion depending on the good performance of only one player. If Benzema was in the squad, maybe France would have been champions. Because we didn't get the expected performance from Giroud, Dembele or Griezmann in the French attack. Maybe France's overall performance would have been better if these attacking star players had performed well.

On the other hand, Argentina's overall performance was good. They performed well as a team. Every player in the team has tried their best to perform well in their place. This is why they became champions.

Even if I just watched the live stream and used VPN just to watch the match, it was all worth it even if I know I'm a little delayed. Plus, I won something nice from this FWC Finals for predicting most of the matches from the knockout phase up to the Finals match, I just missed the free bets that were organized in this board, but I may have a chance to get that one I guess. I think if someone was watching live then have something at stake like you're in a competition and you're rooting for that team, you'd surely be in an emotional roller coaster watching this match, that was the best match I've seen even though I'm not that of a football fanatic.

The round of 16 are very exciting, for me the semifinals are heart-stopping, I have never seen such a picturesque World Cup, I think it is the first time that a World Cup with such strange characteristics has been presented and at the same time, good, there are many teams that They went to the round of 16 with a performance that one can establish as low, but they still went through because they scored the goals, this is something I don't understand, but the beauty of soccer is this, a soccer game either team can win , the semis were exciting, I think that everything was very good for what we expected, in addition, the behavior of the Qataris and of all the people was under the atmosphere of great tranquility, there was no madness or disasters or deaths, I think that is a great plus that you see this world cup, with respect to Argentina, I think that since the defeat against Saudi Arabia they learned what they needed to be champions, they fought, they suffered, they suffered many injustices with a referee The game or one of the toughest games in Argentina for me was against the Netherlands and then the final, it seemed like a suspenseful movie.

Now, I had a doubt, I thought that Argentina was going to take first place in the FIFA ranking, but I see that it is not like that:

Brazil still ranked FIFA's No. 1 despite Argentina winning the World Cup

Well, every day you learn something new, and without a doubt this is new for me, I didn't know that things were calculated like that.
