He seems to have more natural talent than these other guys. His passing appears to be at a different level.

Dumb penalty there.

Incredibly foolish foul.

Messi is a complete player. Scoring, passing, just general awareness. He's very well loved by pretty much everyone who enjoys the sport.

Watching this final, it's apparent that the USMNT is nowhere close to winning a WC.

The skill level on these teams vs USMNT is night and day.

Yup. And it's kinda interesting to think about how it is just the inverse for the USWNT

Epic? Or a little dull as the teams play not to lose?

Epic.

Another dumb penalty.

What a match. Wish it didn't have to go to pens.

Many games have. been decided by penalty kicks. The goalie who stops 2 out of 5 is usually a hero.

I have to admit that was rather compelling. I'm not sure about "greatest sporting event ever" but it was fun to watch.

I guarantee the entire world was watching. World wide, far huger than the Super Bowl.

Did anyone see Martinez with his trophy!?!

ChitownSpaceForRent · « **Reply #619 on:** December 18, 2022, 01:13:54 PM »

Such a bummer, that Argentina team is so unlikeable.

Number of viewers is different than "greatest".

More sporting fans across the world will call that a greater spectacle than they will the Super Bowl

And they wouldn’t be wrong. That was among the greatest games ever played.

Muggsy, I know futbol is not your thing. It is the thing for the rest of the planet. This game had two countries with long and glorious histories. It had two of the best players alive having magic moments. It had spectacular goaltending down the stretch. It had comebacks and extra time goals. Billions of people will be talking about this game to their grandchildren.
