As an Argentine, nothing made me feel safer than Maqwell predicting that France would win the World Cup

Same here... But I'm French.. Oh no
Tbh the irish guy predict argentina will win, which makes me nervous
He really is cursed
Ong common Maqwell L
Montiel gave away penalty that pushed the game into penalty shootout and became the one who finished it lmao. my man redeemed himself in 15 minutes
But Messi lost the golden boot because of that. Anyways Messi doesn’t care about that he just wanted the w 😂
Montiel has never missed a pen in his carrer, when river plate (his ex team) were in like a 12 pens missing streak the coach put him to take them, now he has 10 pens and he has scored all of them
Montiel has a 3 star tatoo, that is destiny
Montiel giveth, Montiel taketh away.
I swear if Belgium is ANYWHERE near the top 10 FIFA rankings after this World Cup I’m gonna be mad
They’re 4th 😭
Well... They are 4th

I will never forget that 3 minutes of Costa Rica and Japan topping the group where Germany and Spain in
I remember thinking. before the tournament started, what if Japan and Costa Rica win this group?? Never imagining that this scenario would ever come even close to happening. I was watching Japan-Spain and even the commentators seemed to be stunned and short of words for those few minutes.
As a German fan, I am in shock
as a Honduras, i was so excited to see Japan and especially Costa Rica top of the group until Kai Havertz decided to ruin it all 🥲

Fun facts:
- this world cup has 172 goals scored more than any other world cup in history.
- diego maradona didn't won his first world cup until he left barcelona.
- argentina has an almost perfect record of winning every single penalty shootouts in world cups only losing one time against -england- germany.
Funny it’s against England
What? I’m English and we’ ve never beaten Argentina at penalties. Do you mean Germany in 2006?
@@patrickdavies9790 I’m English as well and you’re right. In fact, we lost to Argentina in 1998 on penalties
At 2.69, it has the third best average goals per game metric since 1970 (the last of the classic free flowing attacking World Cups), behind only USA ‘94 (2.71) and Spain 1982 (2.81)
Another Fun Fact:
1.Argentina vs France is the only third instance the World Cup winner will be decided by penalty shootout. France had also lost the World Cup Final previously to Italy in 2006.
2.Lionel Messi became the third players to win the World Cup immediately after he joined Paris Saint Germain. To be honest, only two players achieved this rare cycle: Ronaldinho in 2002 and Kylian Mbappe in 2018.
3.Argentina won the last two World Cups when the Chinese calendar year was a Tiger.
4.Argentina won the last two World Cups after Ukraine suffered the worst event. In 1986, two months before the World Cup was held, Chernobyl disaster occurred and Pripyat was a ghost town. This year, the whole country was invaded by Russia.
20:38 this is exactly why the Telemundo/Peacock commentators were easily miles better than the Fox commentators. So much passion and emotion in their voice, always had something to talk about in the games, and they knew how to build tension for the plays. Fox commentators were often SILENT for 10+ seconds at a time and sometimes during plays.
I mean to be fair, of course these guys sound much more passionate since it's their nation that just won the world cup, I believe that they wouldn't sound nearly as passionate if the USA scored a winning penalty vs some team in the final(as if that ever happens :D), but otherwise yeah, screw Fox.
@@vaclavbastl500 I’m pretty sure the commentators are Mexican but yeah maybe it’s a camaraderie between Latin American countries. I know I was mainly rooting for Argentina because of that
@@KevinGarcia-pv3lr that commentator was from Argentina if I remember correctly.
@@KevinGarcia-pv3lr the commentator is Andres Cantor, an Argentinian commentator working in Telemundo. During the Croatia match, his voice had already started to break upon announcing that Argentina is a finalist in Qatar. The man made me feel, more so because I have been supporting Argentina for a very long time.
That Messi montage made me tear up. I feel the exact same way and I am sure other people do too. Messi will forever have a special place in my heart and watching him finally win the World Cup was the most satisfying thing I have ever watched in my life. I am so happy for him and Argentina. Thank you Maxwell for putting the feelings of myself and others like me into video form.

That Messi montage was my story with football. Messi got me loving football. Seeing him lift that one cup of gold made me so emotional.
20:40 Montiel must have been in so much pressure .
Man gave away a penalty in last minutes and he redeemed himself.
Sort of like what happened with Marco Materazzi in the 2006 final, he gave away the penalty that gave France the lead, then scored the equalizer, as well as a penalty in the shootout.

As a brazilian, it pains me to see Argentina destroying Croatia in the semis, but at the same time it was very emotional to see Di Maria and Messi making into history at the finals. They deserve it. They brought back the World Cup to Latin America.
I was born in 94 and I was too young and disinterested in football to see 02' Brazil being world champion. Then I realized that, just as I didnt see Ronaldo score 2 goals in the best keeper of the tournament, most of the Brazil team players didnt see as well. Thats heavy.
2026 will be an amazing tournament to watch, this is Brazil chance!

@@vega6003 me too, my country didn’t even make the world cup (Honduras) so i was rooting for literally every Latin American country
Also an interesting tidbit to note, both times Australia reached the knockout stage, they were eliminated by the eventual winners of the world cup, 2006(Italy beat Australia round of 16, won the world cup) 2022(Argentina beat Australia, won the world cup) so if you knock Australia out at the round of 16, you have a 100% success rate of winning the world cup so far. It might be a coincidence but if it happens a third time in a row, it is not a coincidence.
If Australia is a team you want to defeat in the round of 16 on the way to World Cup glory, one team you definitely don’t want to beat at any stage earlier than the semifinals is Germany. This is what happened to every team that defeated Germany in the QF or earlier since WWII:
1954 - Hungary, lost in final to Germany
1962 - Yugoslavia, lost in semi-final
1974 - East Germany, eliminated in second group stage
1982 - Algeria, eliminated at group stage after “Anschluss” game.
1986 - Denmark, lost in R16
1994 - Bulgaria, lost in semi-final
1998 - Croatia, lost in semi-final
2010 - Serbia, eliminated at group stage
2018 - Mexico (lost in R16) and South Korea (eliminated at group stage)
2022 - Japan, lost in R16
Those crafty Germans, even when they lose they still find ways to curse their opposition….
Both finals were against France too.
Ha jokes on them Australia is winning it next time
Both finals were against France and they won on penalties
you catch australia in the round of 16: let's go!
you catch brazil in the quarter-finals: LET'S FUCKING GO
I think we can all say that we witnessed the end of an era. Messi finally winning the big one, it’s such a fitting end as he rides into the sunset, immortalized. I love this sport, and even though there’s been plenty of heartbreak. It’s safe to say, that all the memories we made, we would never trade for anything. Gracias Leo.
Not even just Messi, but I feel like this World Cup marked the end of the era where we have been blessed to witness players like Ronaldo, Modric, Suarez, and many more.

The way Messi got you hooked on football is the same way I got hooked on it back in 82' watching Maradona. It was the first WC I watched and began to understand. Every time you'd see the short, curly-haired Argie receive the ball you know chances of something magical happening were high. Then watching him win his World Cup the following time was unforgettable. I've been a fan of the sport and the Argentine National Team ever since. Aguante la Albiceleste! 🇦🇷🏆🏆🏆
Introduced to football through my grandad. Feel in love with it in 2010 during the World Cup.
Saw messi, and instantly he was my favourite he was the guy I saw and thought, “I wanna be him”.
Will never forget seeing him win the World Cup a brilliant way to end the story of a lifetime.
This tournament was the first time I paid attention to football. I knew about football for numerous years but never really watched any match. The first match I watched was Saudi Arabia vs Argentina and I was supporting Argentina but.........they lost. I had seen many videos on Messi's struggles and never winning a world cup which turned out to be the main reason I supported Argentina throughout. The joy I felt watching Argentina winning every match after that and Messi being the MOM in almost every one of them. I watched every second of the final till the very last penalty and I am very happy that Messi won his last World Cup to round off a magnificent career. Congratulations to Argentina 🇦🇷 and Messi
I'm just so happy we finally were able to get a storybook ending.
It always feels like every tournament, there's one magical story we all fall in love with that seems written in the stars.....and then it's ripped out from under us in the end.
This time, we finally got it.
Germany wasn’t there to ruin it, that’s why :P you could fill a graveyard with the number of feel good stories they killed. Hungary ‘54, Netherlands ‘74, USA ‘02, South Korea ‘02 (I know they got a lot of favorable calls, but it’s still the first ever Asian team in the semi-finals) Argentina ‘14, and so on.
@@tommyl.dayandtherunaways820 nah they deserved that 2014 world cup especially after reaching like 4 consecutive semi-finals + the squad that year was excellent
fun fact after the round of 16 match between Australia vs Argentina, 3 of the soceroos went full fanboy and took pictures with da goat
The Netherlands vs Argentina 2-2 in quater finals was a really entertaining match so was France vs Argentina 3-3 in the final.
I'm Moroccan , and im really proud of our national team's journey 🇲🇦👑
Morocco is not shite they are good
if it was england and morocco instead of france i think england won have won
Even tho Qatar should have never been appointed host and even tho i'm still bitter about that horrendous quarter-final. I have to admit that this was a great tournament.
Thanks for the great content. And onto 🇨🇦C. 🇺🇸U. 🇲🇽M. 2026.

@@akaashnidhiss9433 I fucking love C.U.M.
I hope the winning captain has to wear a mountie uniform with an indian headdress while the cup is wrapped in a tortilla.
If Qatar is allowed to add their culture, so can they.
The first World Cup I caught in my lifetime was 2006. I faintly recall watching Ronaldinho doing wizardry with the ball when I was 4. My first proper WC was in 2010, and I got Argentina as the team to root for from inheritance. Since then I've watched the man Leonel Messi go through his ups, and his downs. Cried on 2014. Lost hope on 15-16 after the losses in a row. Messi was leaving after the fan backlash, but came back after their very request, only to lose again in 18. I almost forgot my love for football by then, knowing I'd probably never see a cup on my favorite teams hand in my lifetime.
But then came 2021. I didn't even watch Copa that year because I was long checked out from Football back then but then I heard the madlads over at Argentina somehow reached the final. I woke up at 4am to catch the match, and they won. They actually won an international trophy, my eyes couldn't believe what it was seeing, and this got me right back into football. Then came this tournament, after a loss Argentina slowly crawled through the victory road and then finally won the fabled World Cup for real. I consider myself so lucky to be witnessing Messi reach from nothing to the absolute victory at the end. He truly is the greatest of all time.
I love how this World Cup at the start was gonna be labelled the worst by many but as the matches go by everyone just enjoyed it, it's amazing since how many upsets and suprises there were. indeed this will be one of the most memorable FIFA World Cup.
6500 deaths wasn't worth the glory - even if every match was amazing, this is still the worst world cup ever. That wasn't about the games.
@@TheTheMoran L
@@TheTheMoran 2018 world cup was hosted by Russia which has now killed more than 6500 in an illegal war against Ukraine. Let's not even mention the world cup Argentina hosted back when it was run by a dictator. Calm down. This was a great World Cup. The organization of the competition is always mired in political controversy and we should investigate them all. Regardless, the tournament itself this year was exceptional.

That penalty from Kane will haunt me forever 😢🏴

Should have made Maguire take the penalty, the true GOAT
Haha (we are still quite as well)
@@j_james_01 no one has scored more penalties for england than kane
even if spurs gets penalties it going to be harry kane doing it
Bro I was a goalkeeper and I can't stress enough how INSANE that save from Martinez was. Skill, speed and luck combined all together.
Something a lot of people don't know, Gonzalo Montiel, the man who won Argentina by scoring the penalty.
He's an expert at penalties, only 7 in his career and he's always hit the back of the net. Why? He used to make money doing penalties before he went to professional football, from this kind of place to winning Argentina the World cup has to be something glorius.
Not only is Montiel's story so beautiful it seems every Argentine player's stories are.
I really do think this was the ending that Messi deserved. I mean, the last two years have kinda fulfilled the ending to his career, a Copa America win against Brazil, a win against Italy the European champions, and an amazing final against France, the defending world champions.
I grew to love football because of Messi, of course he wasn’t the first one I was cheering on, back in the 5th grade, my social studies teacher decided to put the World Cup on just because it was the end of the school year and we no longer had anything to do, of course I chose a random ass team to support which I think was Spain at the time, but then transitioned to Brazil, when Brazil had lost 7-1, I made sure to support whoever else was facing Germany, and it so happened that Lionel Messi had arrived to the final.
Of course the heart break someone who had just gotten into watching the sport was wild, I wanted Argentina to win not because of Messi but just because I didn’t want Germany to win. And so the next couple weeks passed on and summer break and ended. I don’t think I really cared for football, but my cousin who had joined the soccer team a year before encouraged me to join.
And of course once you spend money to join a team, you might as well learn about ball, of course you gotta look up football, and guess who I somehow stumbled upon? Messi. I don’t exactly remember how I got to know Messi, or the reason I started supporting him (maybe because I loved that away kit Argentina had in 2014) but I did anyways.
I think it’s been an amazing 8 years with football, and Messi. ( oh now that I’ve thought about it, I think around October when Luis Suarez came back to Barcelona after being suspended for like 6 months MSN happened, and they were winning a lot)
I also want to point out that I’m actually grateful to Germany now, I 100% believe Messi doesn’t become the player he is now if he wins that World Cup, I don’t think he had to prove something in 2015 with Neymar and Suarez, I feel like if he had won, Messi would’ve ended up like Xavi, Iniesta, David vila, Xabi. Like they won the the prize everyone wanted and dipped basically.
Messi could’ve and would’ve been allowed to dip, after carrying them to 3 finals and losing them all back in 2016. I 100% think that was justified, he had no help, and had to do everything on his own.
But imma just skip until today, and Messi now. He deserved this, as Argentina’s ex-coach said: ‘Messi doesn’t owe a World Cup to Argentina or anyone, football owes a World Cup to Messi’ of course not verbatim, but I think that’s a very true statement, he’s been through more heart break in finals than anyone in the last 20 years. Imagine making it to 3 finals but your team can’t do anything to help you, I bet Mbappe is feeling that at this very moment, Messi maybe didn’t show up to any of those three previous finals, but he carried them through the whole tournament, whether it was scoring all the goals in the group stages, or making the key passes to the player who scored the goals to get them to the final, Messi was doing that by himself, no one else had to go through that type of hardship besides Messi.
And I think this is kinda a fitting end for my ‘career’ of watching football. I mean I’ll keep up with Son, I’ll keep up with Messi, but I don’t think I really wanna watch football without Lionel Messi playing, the levels above others he is was displayed when he was straight up being the conductor for Argentina at 35. Now imagine seeing MSN Messi, Suarez-Messi Messi. And then Messi by himself.
Like I don’t really think there will be another Messi regen for at least 30 years. It took about 16 years for the Maradona regen to appear.
I mean Messi will either retire after the next Copa America or he will play until he’s like 39 either way, if the the reason you started watching football isn’t there anymore, what’s the point? Even though Mbappe scored a hat trick, and the ‘torch’ has been passed to him, Messi was levels above him for most of that game, but at 35. Imagine watching Messi, and then when he retires having to watch the likes of the robotic Haaland who just scored and does nothing else, Mbappe just runs and shoots.
It’s hard to describe Messi as a player, and it’s hard to describe just why, and how he’s better than players. But I’d just like to say thank you to Messi, and basically good bye to him and my childhood, since he was my childhood
Great story :)
What a story. I feel the same as you.
That bit you did talking about Messi and how his story encourages our dreams hits hard 😭

As a Salvadoran who didn’t see my country qualify, I supported Argentina since the day I saw them play vs Nigeria in 2010, ever since then I’ve always dreamed of Messi lifting the trophy, and when he won it, I felt like I also won it with him from the start, if shows that dreams can come true

bro your monologue starting at 21:18 is incredible - well written, poetic, and inspiring - amazing video sir, as always
Hey Maxwell, thanks so much for completing this WC 2022 recap. I’m a first gen American with Argentine parents and watching this WC has been the greatest soccer experience of my life.
Watching your pregame videos kept me most informed about what was going on and they were all really well made, both informative and entertaining.
I’m now definitely going to start watching club soccer again and I’m 100% sure I’ll be a long time fan of yours.
Cheers
That "Argentina campeón del mundo" coupled with your narration made me cry, again. Football is a gift indeed.
As a French person I must say that even though this was one of the greatest world cup finals of all time and I've never screamed as hard as I did when Mbappe scored the equalizer in regular time, I also have never felt this ashamed of the team for the 60 first minutes of the game
This is why I don’t get when people say France deserved to win or played better the whole game. In reality, Argentina was better for the first 70 minutes, France was better in the last 20 of NT, then the sides were about even in ET, although Argentina had the better chances. Props to France for making it competitive and almost completing the comeback though. I was rooting for Argentina, but your team is amazing as well.
That second goal of France had me screaming to the point that I lost my voice
Morocco had the best run possible and played 3 of the toughest teams and won twice . What a tournament
Exactly why you’re my favorite soccer/football UA-camr, Maqwell. Amazing review. This is the first World Cup where I’ve truly followed the sport and I am glad to say it was an amazing one. Also, the section at the end about Messi was emotionally beautiful, great job encapsulating the spirit of Messi and Argentina.
I grew up Chicano in the USA. I got into football during the 2010 World Cup. I have a huge passion for the sport and it's thanks to people like Maqwell that people in the USA are now being introduce to the myriad of emotions football bring to the world. This World Cup final was the best sports final in history.
Association football isn't very big in the USA, but I like the US men's soccer team (I got introduced to Frankie Hejduk, Landon Donovan and the rest of the squad in PES 4/5). I'm from Europe and I approve of the talent they have.
Max! I just wanted to say I've thoroughly enjoyed your content. I've learned so much about the sport and I'm so glad to FINALLY take the leap to really dive into what the football world is like. Your videos are so informative as well as really entertaining and has really added to the joy this WC has been. Keep up the good work!
Maqwell, insane job with the ending of this video bro! With the perfect Spanish commentary to showcase the true emotions of that penalty, to the Messi tribute, couldn't have ended this any better!
Knowing Maqwell is a Sonic Colors fan just makes me like his channel more.
This is why I subscribed to you, your qualifiers made me enjoy international football more, most other football UA-camrs don’t like international football but you made it enjoyable. Keep doing great things maxwell
The Messi montage would make even the toughest man cry
Great video! I love what you said towards the end of the video after your review of the final. Everything you said was nicely put and well written. Thank you
dude we should be thanking you for pumping out peak content over the last 2 years, keep it up man!
I played soccer throughout my childhood and Messi was always a huge inspiration for me. I wasn’t blessed with the height genes that others did but he just showed that talent and determination are what should define you, not your height or size. If this is it for him with Argentina, I’m happy for him that he finally got the World Cup trophy. He is the 🐐!
Amazing video bro to see where you are now from over a year ago is insane keep going thanks for being one of my favorite football UA-camr
Thank you for your Coverage of the World Cup Maqwell. It's been over a year since I found your channel and I've enjoyed your video essays heavily. Just like you in the 2000s, but older I found UA-cam as my source to watch Soccer Compilations. My cousin had all the FIFA Games and that's how I found Messi. Once I was able to drive there was a local Pizza Shop where the owner was a Barça Fan and he would have the Champions League or Liga on there especially when Barça was playing. It's crazy that his time is coming to an end, but I hope maybe he comes to the MLS so I can see him play. Happy Holidays!
Great review, Maqwell! And that last part with your experience watching Messi... It touches all of us. Messi was part of my childhood, and it's great to see him smile with his country after years of heartbreak.
Great video. Looking forward to your finals review. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the videos. This World Cup as been so much fun
I’ve been patiently waiting for this video
You are an amazing creater man you’re an inspiration. I wish you all the best. Keep doing your thing. Every video you put out is amazing
I’m Moroccan-American and I was soooo proud of our Atlas Lions for making it as far as they did in this tournament.. I have tons of soccer jerseys but anytime I would wear my Morocco National people would always ask me, “what jersey are you wearing..?” The day after we beat Portugal I was wearing it out and two different strangers approached and said good luck against France.. that team’s performance put us on the map with recognition, it felt like everyone I knew was rooting for us to go all the way after Spain.. my son is 9 and it felt great to have a team fill him with so much pride in his heritage.. fantastic tournament experience..
I’m super happy for Messi though.. this was probably the biggest single thing his haters would bring up in the GOAT conversation.. some prob disagree, but to me Messi is the GOAT - hard to dispute it now..
Love your Sense of humour bro🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣 Great vid
The memes are amazingly on point, good video!
As an Argentine, the World Cup win was one of happiest moments in my life, the emotional roller coaster was too much for me, and I couldn’t stop crying after the penalty shootout for like 15 minutes, and Andres Cantors call on telemundo was perfect for that moment 🥲

The best final I have ever seen by miles, and a strong canditate for the best game I have ever watched. Every single thing a football match should have was here, with the biggest stakes in all of football, with the correct team winning (both as a compelling story and because they were the superior team tactically as a unit). Even though France got back up mostly because of Argentina fucking up, this is one of the rare finals I'd call perfect. Everything about it was legendary.

Great video and great shirt. 2010 2nd kit for spain was my favourite and gave me one of my favourite memories.
I was introduced to the beautiful game because of the Beatles. I was learning to play the guitar and I found out that they are from Liverpool and began following Liverpool FC, the UCL final in Istanbul 2005 was my memorable game ever. The World cup final ‘22 gave me the same vibe emotions and the match was breathtaking. Football no matter the odds are if you do your best with a little help of luck you can win and it unites the world. Argentina they stumbled in their first match but in the end they never walk alone but as a team. Thanks for your videos and more power!
Haha. I’m also a Beatles fan (from the USA) and I’ve never really followed the premier league or club soccer all that much in general (much more of a fan of the international game), but I sort of pull for Liverpool to do well for exactly the same reason :P
My first memory of football was World Cup 2006. Zidane leading an old french team like a general on the pitch, directing his players where to run and producing masterclass against better Brazil, Spain and Portugal teams. It ended of course though in pure heartache.
Then of course Messi made me fall in love with Barcelona the club. I ended up living there and watching them live more than once. This world cup is something i never dreamed would happen, Messi again (similar to Zidane) leading his players on the pitch and directing play. Only this time it did end like a beautiful circle in completion.
I just love football.
Phenomenal video!
“just like he exposed himself”😭😭
Currently sick, days before Christmas 😥 but this video helped with comfort. Thank you
My guy were you playing unfinished business from xenoblade chronicles XD 😭
Edit: 17:40 I recognised that part anywhere
21:41 true poetry right there.
It still baffles me that a lad named MacAllister is a World Cup Champion.
His dad is a retired football player as well!
MacAllister? Reminds me of Home Alone since it's a Christmas.
great video, feel like this world cup went by so fast
I was not ready for that ending! Maqwell made tear up
Thank you! I'll see you in 4 years 🙌🏼
Maqwell the goat! Can’t wait to see your 2026 review

From watching France vs Argentina. Now I have to watch Newcastle vs Bournemouth for the Carabao. (I want to kill myself)
