@@jige6356 alright but pele played in an era where football was less competitive, there were less teams in the world cup and he was in by far the best team in the world.

@@jige6356 Pele was injured early in one of the three WCs. Garrincha was the hero of that one. Pele never won Copa America or Copa Libertadores and never played in a game with stakes in Europe. Maradona played three WCs and won one, in one game he cheated. Yes, Messi is the GOAT.
If this was a movie, CR7 would surely go down in history as one of the greatest villains in cinema history. Everyone loves a good villain, and he delivered his line to perfection. And so did Messi. What a story!! A man who was delusional and confident enough to challenge a god, and through pure hard work and dedication he did exactly that, right until the end, when the inevitable fairy tale ending happen. CR7 should be proud of the countless battles he won, but it was Messi who won the war.
@@FoshoTheOne Not a villain. He was simply the antagonist to Messi. I am sure Messi enjoyed the competition. Without a proper rival, his career wouldn't have been as exciting and entertaining as it turned out to be...
@@luiscaetano6184 it’s not a movie bro, they’re both great players. Idk why the media and fans like a have to vilainize/antagonize other great players just because you’re a fan of another ..
Fortunately for us all, there´s two things that bridge gaps between humans, music and sport. The final words here "for God´s sake, let the man go and celebrate!" show that. When talent is manifest, we bow before it, no matter race,religion or nation. Thanks for that! Gracias fútbol!
Didier Deschamps is a GENIUS coach... He made the exact moves (substitution & tactic changes) that France needed in 2 consecutive WC finals to fire up his team on the field. Both finals, France was lethargic first half... and then subs were made and the game switched gears abruptly! Kudos to France 2022! Worthy from first to last minute!
My friend, I agree. I’m French and I however think that France should play better football, considering how great the players are. I think it’s a shame that with players such as M’BAPPÉ, GIROUD, GRIEZMANN, DEMBELE, RABIOT, VARANE, LLORIS, we aren’t capable of producing great football. But yeah, the results have been good so…
No it wasn't the substitutions that made the difference. Di Maria coming out of the game was what gave France a chance of coming back. Di Maria was shutting down the whole French offense before they even had a chance to attack.
@@lalruatfeela13 what advantage? Literally French did nothing for the first half to try and score (0 shots ATTEMPTS) Their first attempt on goal was Mbappe's penalty. They weren't even trying
Yes he has a lasting legacy has an all time great ! Undoubtedly his talent but also like other all time legends like Muhammad Ali , Pele ,and one or two more he is likeable and admired ! Humble and confident knows he has nothing to prove , not chasing records or headlines a team player ! If you where a soccer parent who would you want as a role model for your kid Messi or Ronaldo ?
I love you guys you're true admirers of talent. On a lighter note, I just want to ask Craig what I can do to make him write a commical script for me? "Is he on double time tonight?" Just hillarious!
The "Cape" is called a "Besht"! and it's a great honor to be given this cloak ! the Prince of the country placed that on Messi as a sign of honoring him. Stop with the annoying European hate on all that is related to Qatar! we all know you just look down at these none-European nations, and your feeling becomes more apparent when they don't need your sympathy.
I thought it was befitting, that gesture made it more special . Winning the world cup in qatar and being crowned in qatari fashion🤍💙. Plus the black colour goes well with the Argentine outfit.
That's just them projecting, trying to bring down another nation to avoid the world from remembering and finding out all the bullshit and wrongdoings of the European. Where do you think France they got 14 of their players? From their colonies, it was unintentional of course, but that's their origins, french colonies posing as free countries. And before anybody says anything about it, no, I'm not saying their players aren't french, they are as french as any argentinean players who's son or grandson of immigrants. I'm just mentioning how the Europeans were boycotting the world cup, claiming the moral high ground from the top of a mound of turds.
These cronies in the studio don't know what being hounerd is i bet these hypocritical and double standard cronies would be cheering and and wouldn't be saying that if they put a rainbow drape on him .
I understand Frank's frustration, but for 70 minutes I was convinced that at least half the French team were ill with that virus... not to mention losing 5 starters before the cup even started... Hernandez within in minutes of the 1st game... *and then* players coming down ill right before the final! And *then* for 55 minutes or so played their asses off to come back *twice!* Yes Argentina and Messi were brilliant! So were France ❤ What a match!
France was truly worthy from 1st to last minute... to reach a WC final and excel with key French players sidelined is nothing short of legend! This from an Argentina fan.
@@vfamily4396 Boy, how the eff did they "cheat"??? England got a penalty from the ref & VAR which Harry Kane shanked! England got TWO PENALTIES I might add! End of the day, England blew it... That's football! Next!
It's funny how nobody mentions the flu bug that affected the French, can you imagine this lots reaction if it was England that were missing some of their best players and have six starters suffering from the flu bug? hey would have knighted the whole team.
ESPN has to get a better and more professional coverage of these tournaments if they want youngsters in the states to be interested in the beautiful game. This crew is not going to cut it.
Great final but does Ale think that only Messi experienced pressure taking penalties when MBappe took 3 lol. Get another guy on please ESPN. Both were exceptional. England fan so won't congratulate Argentina, but have seen Messi live in Barcelona many times and well done to him. By far the greatest, player I ever had the pleasure of watching live. And well done to Mbappe on breaking 2 long held records over the course of this tournament, main being becoming the second man after Geoff Hurst to score a hat trick in a world cup final. Epic performance from two world class strikers, Harry Kane take notes from both please. You are not world class buddy.
I do believe Ronaldo Phenomenon has score a penalty hatrick before, it wasn't in a world cup final, I think it was during a world cup qualifying match vs argentina but yeah he did score a penalty hatrick.
Messi & neymar would of had 2 leave PSG,if mbabby had won the final with France again, as his ego would of went in 2 overdrive, they mite still have 2, especially messi
That chef guy Salt bae spoiled the atmosphere of celebration, no one is allowed to touch the trophy but who had passes through the FIFA, like the players, ex players, state dignitaries and dootballer families... Really hate that guy...
It was destiny. The ENTIRE UNIVERS wanted Messi to win this World Cup. It felt like even Angels spoke to GOD about the fact that the ENTIRE WORLD might be very very sad if HE didn't let Messi take this World Cup. Seriously, it felt like in a case of defeat, even GOD THE FATHER would have felt HE did someone wrong this time around. The sadness of MOST of HIS children would have morned like if Moses died around; that JESUS was killed again. Argentina HAD to win. Just for Messi. Seriously, GOD was on Messi's side this time around. I am sure, HE intervained in the game. Argentina played agaisnt Super Heavy Weight Teams such as croacia, Netherland, Mexico, France.. Finally, one thing that people missed is the role played by DiMaria and the Goal Keeper. These two carried Messi like Aaron and Joshua on the Mountain. They were like NO WAY Messi will fall. NO WAY. Di Maria for me, was the MAN of this world Cup. If he had played till the end of the game against France, honestly they would have not been penalty kicks. No way. Di Maria was a nightmare for France. He was Muhamed Aly against Joe Frazier for france. flying flying and stinging and stinging and kicking france players asses. Di Maria? Player of The Year in my book.
Sure Bro. Sure MESI is also the MAN in my book. Dimaria made it happened. The Man DiMaria was FAST and FURIOUS. He wanted this Cup REAL BAD. He did everything he could; including taking King Leo on his sholder. Messi is the GOAT. DiMaria was the Machine Gun; The Drone; the BOAT. The Sniper. Periode. @@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633

Nothing wrong with the robe itself....but didn't have to force him (Messi) to wear it on stage by putting it on him on the spot. It would have been "rude" or ungrateful for him to take it off or refuse it so he just kept quiet and went along; doesn't mean he liked it! Simply put it in a gift basket and wrap it or just show it to him then remove it before having him meet his team with the cup in his original jersey. Qatar/arab world, Stop forcing your religion and culture or tradition on other ppl!!! Na by force?! It's rude and it won't work; it only causes more resentment and disdain towards said culture. Chill!
The entire world? Half the world hates Argentina and a few more countries joined that list during this WC lol. I'm English and I was cheering France like a Frenchman.
@@amoskariuki5967 They have never been popular in South America. All obsessed Ronaldo fans were probably cheering for France too. France are a popular country too and Mbappe has fans around the world. Plus Argentina have pissed a lot of people off with their behaviour over the last few years. You say England is not half the world. Surprisingly I know more English people that wanted Argentina to win and they are happy for Messi. That is annoying me too lol.
Yeah, Scaloni did something crazy, he managed to have a world cup winning team on his first time doing the job. Young and inexperienced, yet he played his cards well and the players delivered.
Argentina also have Alexis Mac Allister. PURE Irish Blood by right ! Only Saudi Arabia players all of them have pure Arab blood ! And ONLY THEY were able to beat Argentina in this World Cup ! Someone even said somewhere that just one reserve player in the Argentina squad is already worth more than the WHOLE Saudi squad, let alone Messi ! Imagine if the WHOLE of SAUDI players get the EXACT SAME football exposure as the Argentinian squad or most of the European squad, the Saudi probably won't just BEAT them 2-1 ONLY !!
Dear Haters, If you think this WC is rigged for Messi then the 3 peat of UCLs was rigged for Real Madrid 😂🤷🏻♂️ And I thought Messi couldn’t score pens, how did he score 2 in the QFs of the World Cup against Netherlands, another pen in the SFs of the World Cup against Croatia and 2 pens in the Final of the World Cup against France ….he didn’t miss a single pen in the KO Stages of the World Cup
A match worthy of being called a World Cup final.

@@jige6356 Pele was injured early in one of the three WCs. Garrincha was the hero of that one. Pele never won Copa America or Copa Libertadores and never played in a game with stakes in Europe. Maradona played three WCs and won one, in one game he cheated. Yes, Messi is the GOAT.
Just like at the end of moves ;
Villain (CR7) : falls
Heroes (MESSI) : wins and triumphs 🙌🐐🤴
I feel bad for CR7... He ain't the villain, his coach was
Why is cr7 the villain? 🤔
If this was a movie, CR7 would surely go down in history as one of the greatest villains in cinema history.
Everyone loves a good villain, and he delivered his line to perfection. And so did Messi.
What a story!! A man who was delusional and confident enough to challenge a god, and through pure hard work and dedication he did exactly that, right until the end, when the inevitable fairy tale ending happen.
CR7 should be proud of the countless battles he won, but it was Messi who won the war.
@@FoshoTheOne Not a villain. He was simply the antagonist to Messi. I am sure Messi enjoyed the competition. Without a proper rival, his career wouldn't have been as exciting and entertaining as it turned out to be...
@@luiscaetano6184 it’s not a movie bro, they’re both great players. Idk why the media and fans like a have to vilainize/antagonize other great players just because you’re a fan of another ..
Fortunately for us all, there´s two things that bridge gaps between humans, music and sport. The final words here "for God´s sake, let the man go and celebrate!" show that. When talent is manifest, we bow before it, no matter race,religion or nation. Thanks for that! Gracias fútbol!
It's not that France woke up after 75 minutes it was just Argentina going to sleep trying to close out the game
Didier Deschamps is a GENIUS coach... He made the exact moves (substitution & tactic changes) that France needed in 2 consecutive WC finals to fire up his team on the field. Both finals, France was lethargic first half... and then subs were made and the game switched gears abruptly!
Kudos to France 2022! Worthy from first to last minute!
My friend, I agree.
I’m French and I however think that France should play better football, considering how great the players are. I think it’s a shame that with players such as M’BAPPÉ, GIROUD, GRIEZMANN, DEMBELE, RABIOT, VARANE, LLORIS, we aren’t capable of producing great football.
But yeah, the results have been good so…
Yes France really did well on subs and then you have Jules blaming Deschamps he's so salty he lost then he blames everybody on France except Mbappe.
No it wasn't the substitutions that made the difference. Di Maria coming out of the game was what gave France a chance of coming back. Di Maria was shutting down the whole French offense before they even had a chance to attack.
@@uriborgaro2237 only thing DI maria was doing was diving like in the swim olympics
No, it was Scaloni's substitution of the man on the left flank: DiMaria. He was a problem for the French all game and this sub changed the momentum.
So so happy. Frank is such a good commentator. Very impartial.
Ppl saying this was the best world cup game but the game was delayed by 75mins
History won't see it that way...
Also Argentina had the advantage already by that point!!!! Not fair :D
@@lalruatfeela13 what advantage? Literally French did nothing for the first half to try and score (0 shots ATTEMPTS) Their first attempt on goal was Mbappe's penalty. They weren't even trying
@@AsianVideoGamer Pathetic....Think a lil bit more to the original context
Yes he has a lasting legacy has an all time great ! Undoubtedly his talent but also like other all time legends like Muhammad Ali , Pele ,and one or two more he is likeable and admired ! Humble and confident knows he has nothing to prove , not chasing records or headlines a team player ! If you where a soccer parent who would you want as a role model for your kid Messi or Ronaldo ?
Ronaldo. Passion. Drive. Focus. To be the best you can.
Just imagine if Maradona was alive to witness this moment
Instead of macron lol
He would have thrown middle fingers at the french 💀
He would have died of heart attack again anyway but with a smile of course. 😂
I love you guys you're true admirers of talent. On a lighter note, I just want to ask Craig what I can do to make him write a commical script for me? "Is he on double time tonight?" Just hillarious!
The "Cape" is called a "Besht"! and it's a great honor to be given this cloak ! the Prince of the country placed that on Messi as a sign of honoring him. Stop with the annoying European hate on all that is related to Qatar! we all know you just look down at these none-European nations, and your feeling becomes more apparent when they don't need your sympathy.
It's not the Prince of the country, but Messi wearing Besht is looking like Darth Vader 😂😂😂
Thank you bro
I thought it was befitting, that gesture made it more special . Winning the world cup in qatar and being crowned in qatari fashion🤍💙. Plus the black colour goes well with the Argentine outfit.
That's just them projecting, trying to bring down another nation to avoid the world from remembering and finding out all the bullshit and wrongdoings of the European.
Where do you think France they got 14 of their players? From their colonies, it was unintentional of course, but that's their origins, french colonies posing as free countries.
And before anybody says anything about it, no, I'm not saying their players aren't french, they are as french as any argentinean players who's son or grandson of immigrants. I'm just mentioning how the Europeans were boycotting the world cup, claiming the moral high ground from the top of a mound of turds.
These cronies in the studio don't know what being hounerd is i bet these hypocritical and double standard cronies would be cheering and and wouldn't be saying that if they put a rainbow drape on him .
I understand Frank's frustration, but for 70 minutes I was convinced that at least half the French team were ill with that virus... not to mention losing 5 starters before the cup even started... Hernandez within in minutes of the 1st game... *and then* players coming down ill right before the final! And *then* for 55 minutes or so played their asses off to come back *twice!* Yes Argentina and Messi were brilliant! So were France ❤
What a match!
France was truly worthy from 1st to last minute... to reach a WC final and excel with key French players sidelined is nothing short of legend! This from an Argentina fan.
@@sumonjamal1653 nah, they cheated against England to win with the ref. They got what they deserved. ARGENTINA ON TOP!!!!!!!!!!
@@vfamily4396 Boy, how the eff did they "cheat"??? England got a penalty from the ref & VAR which Harry Kane shanked!
England got TWO PENALTIES I might add!
End of the day, England blew it... That's football! Next!
It's funny how nobody mentions the flu bug that affected the French, can you imagine this lots reaction if it was England that were missing some of their best players and have six starters suffering from the flu bug? hey would have knighted the whole team.
@@vfamily4396 Are you accusing the French of paying the ref? If the ref was for sale Qatar and Saudi Arabia would have been in the final.
I didn’t dream of Messi winning it. Congratulations to him tho
France played better at the 75' because of the substitution of the player of the match: DiMaria.
It was destiny , revenge for wc2018. 3-0 vs croatia and 4-3 vs france. Its all in the script
The blue dream 🇦🇷🇦🇷
ESPN has to get a better and more professional coverage of these tournaments if they want youngsters in the states to be interested in the beautiful game. This crew is not going to cut it.
ESPN is English
Yeah, the entire world except Portugal & one guy feom the UK
I just wanted Argentina to win only because of messi
Me and my friends sreamed till our voices was squeaking..
Messi to MAN CITY next please 💙💙💙⚽️⚽️😁😁⚽️⚽️
I wish
The french guy is trying to hold on for dear life 😂😭😂 Lovely
Messi is king
Those hand ball was unreasonable
Imagine Messi at 38,world cup 2026
39
Selfish ones like CR and KE will not win .LM knows how to make the whole team
Play for his and the country’s dream 😘love M
Who's KE?
GOAT WORLD CUP FINAL 🌟
CONGRATULATIONS QATAR 🇶🇦
But shaka was bashing Messi all the time
Dank! That's so true!
Goat
Great final but does Ale think that only Messi experienced pressure taking penalties when MBappe took 3 lol.
Get another guy on please ESPN. Both were exceptional.
England fan so won't congratulate Argentina, but have seen Messi live in Barcelona many times and well done to him. By far the greatest, player I ever had the pleasure of watching live.
And well done to Mbappe on breaking 2 long held records over the course of this tournament, main being becoming the second man after Geoff Hurst to score a hat trick in a world cup final.
Epic performance from two world class strikers, Harry Kane take notes from both please. You are not world class buddy.
I do believe Ronaldo Phenomenon has score a penalty hatrick before, it wasn't in a world cup final, I think it was during a world cup qualifying match vs argentina but yeah he did score a penalty hatrick.
A fairytale that came true.
*Super-est Sunday!!* 💫🤩🤩
Except for Pepe & Bruno Fernandes of Portugal. 😂🤣😅🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Shaka.. please tell us all, who is the Greatest Of All Time??
Messi & neymar would of had 2 leave PSG,if mbabby had won the final with France again, as his ego would of went in 2 overdrive, they mite still have 2, especially messi
This World Cup was messy! 🤯
Its like the Argentina wanted to win 3 times 😁
Where is Shaka now🤣🤣
best wc final
Who's he talking about in one man being in the picture of Argentina's celebration?
That chef guy Salt bae spoiled the atmosphere of celebration, no one is allowed to touch the trophy but who had passes through the FIFA, like the players, ex players, state dignitaries and dootballer families... Really hate that guy...
Nah Cristiano Ronaldo fans wanted France to win. Hehehe not entire world.
Congratulations to FIFA and his favorite team.
Yes FIFA gave 2 penalties to his favorite team to loose... I totally agree with you
@@raineraristy5322 Im talking about the Adidas team.
@@raineraristy5322 lose. Mbappe's hattrick had two penalties
It was destiny.
The ENTIRE UNIVERS wanted Messi to win this World Cup.
It felt like even Angels spoke to GOD about the fact that the ENTIRE WORLD might be very very sad if HE didn't let Messi take this World Cup. Seriously, it felt like in a case of defeat, even GOD THE FATHER would have felt HE did someone wrong this time around. The sadness of MOST of HIS children would have morned like if Moses died around; that JESUS was killed again.
Argentina HAD to win. Just for Messi. Seriously, GOD was on Messi's side this time around. I am sure, HE intervained in the game.
Argentina played agaisnt Super Heavy Weight Teams such as croacia, Netherland, Mexico, France..
Finally, one thing that people missed is the role played by DiMaria and the Goal Keeper.
These two carried Messi like Aaron and Joshua on the Mountain.
They were like NO WAY Messi will fall. NO WAY.
Di Maria for me, was the MAN of this world Cup.
If he had played till the end of the game against France, honestly they would have not been penalty kicks. No way.
Di Maria was a nightmare for France.
He was Muhamed Aly against Joe Frazier for france.
flying flying and stinging and stinging and kicking france players asses.
Di Maria?
Player of The Year in my book.
I think Messi is. But you are right. Di Maria was great.
Sure Bro.
Sure MESI is also the MAN in my book.
Dimaria made it happened.
The Man DiMaria was FAST and FURIOUS.
He wanted this Cup REAL BAD.
He did everything he could; including taking King Leo on his sholder.
Messi is the GOAT.
DiMaria was the Machine Gun;
The Drone; the BOAT.
The Sniper.
Periode.
@@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633
This guy complaining about the ‘cape’ has no cultural awareness. What an embarrassment for espn.
Frank where is shaka
Totally agree with Craig
Should have given Messi his spot light alone
Poor from Qatar and FIFA
Best referee’s 🪅
Not the entire world, I’m sure ronaldo didn’t want him to win it
I was wishing one of his teammates would take that cape off. They totally did a number on him for that photo op.
Not me
Well said Craig. Infantino was hogging Messi's moment. what a fool
I fully agree with Craig’s, really annoying
Can someone tell me why Messi hasn't won three world cups? It is because it is very difficult to win one! Three world cups is a very high bar for Messi! And it is not like Messi hasn't been to a world cup, he's been to a couple! Messi wins one and he's the GOAT!! No, there's someone who has three world cups. Winning one and being declared the GOAT is really lowering the bar so that Messi can get over the line, this makes Messi look weak! Messi is great but not the greatest.
Haha, can u tell me other then that what ur greatest has won, asshol*
Argentina was dominated amd Mbappe the real Lone Ranger that fight for France 🙌🙌🙌
Shaka come kiss Messi foot
How can you take out Antoine Griezmann. Olivier Giroud Ousmane Dembélé and still want to win kkkkkkkkkkkk bring me zidani
Ale where is shaka
Not really I am team France and wanted them to win that first foul against France changed the game and made Argentina win
Huh, I thought they couldn't play at all during the first half despite that.
If not for the substitutions, France would've been stuck there with nothing to do, they were being dominated from the get go.
The ENTIRE WORLD dreamt of Lionel Messi winning cit espn. I didn't tho couldn't care less of the winner
Pretty boring, aren't you?
This World Cup was simply given to Argentina with illegal penalties. 😅it’s FIFA wants Messi to final win .
and your presence in this world is illegal...
@@santemedical6802 presence 🤣 okay just enjoy the win . pessi never wins without extra help from the refs . 2009 against Chelsea, 2015 PSG, copa america , World Cup . Charity football.
I do believe that france actually wanted Messi to win it was obvious for 80 minutes 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Speak for yourself I never dreamt of Messi winning, this caption is a bit of a stretch and furthermore we all know the match was set up for Messi to win. There is nothing France could have done, it was France vs fifa and Argentina
Come on my friend ....
Lol i guess you didn't watch the right game 🤣🤣 your really delusional
Salty... Did you even watch the game? Do you watch football? Maybe watch some analysis of the game, there should be plenty on UA-cam showing how France got dominated first half, then slowly started gaining traction, using Argentina's overconfidence, taking them by surprise with those subs
All of you fan Messi fans fan insult , curse , get up , it goes nothing to me . There was alot of unfair calls, it was a great game. But there calls which was questionable
@@iammrcarter5099 lol for all i know we controlled the game for 80min and also france is the one's that got 2 penalties but if i was a ronaldo fan i would also be salty 🤣🤣 but there's nothing you can do now messi is the goat and end of story
Nothing wrong with the robe itself....but didn't have to force him (Messi) to wear it on stage by putting it on him on the spot. It would have been "rude" or ungrateful for him to take it off or refuse it so he just kept quiet and went along; doesn't mean he liked it!
Simply put it in a gift basket and wrap it or just show it to him then remove it before having him meet his team with the cup in his original jersey.
Qatar/arab world, Stop forcing your religion and culture or tradition on other ppl!!! Na by force?! It's rude and it won't work; it only causes more resentment and disdain towards said culture. Chill!
NO! It's an honour. They honoured Messi. You have to respect other cultures. You chill!
The entire world? Half the world hates Argentina and a few more countries joined that list during this WC lol. I'm English and I was cheering France like a Frenchman.
england is not half the world mate…europe also aint half the world mate…am sure the americas asia and african countries were very much pro argentina
@@amoskariuki5967 Americas? You mean Brazil, Mexico etc? Don't be silly 😂
@@JamesRoome mate most brazilians were behind argentina…inorder to break european dominance over the cup…like i said england aint half the world bro😂😂
@@amoskariuki5967 They have never been popular in South America. All obsessed Ronaldo fans were probably cheering for France too. France are a popular country too and Mbappe has fans around the world. Plus Argentina have pissed a lot of people off with their behaviour over the last few years.
You say England is not half the world. Surprisingly I know more English people that wanted Argentina to win and they are happy for Messi. That is annoying me too lol.
The entire world? Really?
@@kandiekane. NOT the entire PORTUGAL. FANGIRLS OF fraudnaldo
The ref was awful
Every game Argentina had 12 men on the pitch.
Ikr fans in the stadium really did their job well
Yeah, Scaloni did something crazy, he managed to have a world cup winning team on his first time doing the job. Young and inexperienced, yet he played his cards well and the players delivered.
@@Bozhidar256 duh he means FIFA MAFFIA.
@@waso778 He knows...
France only have 6 actual french players on their team. What a sham of a football team. they would'nt even make the world cup with out their fake team
Argentina also have Alexis Mac Allister.
PURE Irish Blood by right !
Only Saudi Arabia players all of them have pure Arab blood !
And ONLY THEY were able to beat Argentina in this World Cup !
Someone even said somewhere that just one reserve player in the Argentina squad is already worth more than the WHOLE Saudi squad, let alone Messi !
Imagine if the WHOLE of SAUDI players get the EXACT SAME football exposure as the Argentinian squad or most of the European squad,
the Saudi probably won't just BEAT them 2-1 ONLY !!
Cry more
@@MeemHaMeemDhal--khaYaRaWawNun The win against Argentina is and will be their greatest achievement.....
Not true. Ronaldo certainly didn't want Messi to win.
Yeah, he wanted to win it himself. But unlike his fans, he acknowledged Messi to be the best player.
The entire world Knew fifa fixed it for them to win. Thinking that the world is blind and Re tarded
I just love it butthurt fanboys like you 😂😂😂
France got awarded two penalties in the game that was “rigged” for Argentina 😂
go cry home now hahaha
Dear Haters,
If you think this WC is rigged for Messi then the 3 peat of UCLs was rigged for Real Madrid 😂🤷🏻♂️
And I thought Messi couldn’t score pens, how did he score 2 in the QFs of the World Cup against Netherlands, another pen in the SFs of the World Cup against Croatia and 2 pens in the Final of the World Cup against France ….he didn’t miss a single pen in the KO Stages of the World Cup
@@TenshinhanIsKing against Netherlands was a JOKE
