shoutout to the final for ending five minutes before the first slate of NFL games were set to kick off

in all seriousness, I don't watch a lot of soccer but that to be the best match I've ever seen. the size of the moment and the quality of the game won't be matched anytime soon. Happy for Messi that he got his World Cup. GOAT status cemented
 
"Today, football continues to tell its story, as always, in an enthralling way, Messi winning his first World Cup, as his trajectory deserved. My dear friend, Mbappe, scoring four goals in a final. What a gift it was to watch this spectacle to the future of our sport. And I couldn't fail to congratulate Morocco for the incredible campaign. It's great to see Africa shine. Congratulations Argentina! Certainly Diego is smiling now."

- Pele

Such beautiful words from the legend himself!
He sends a message for everyone
 
Oh by the way, I can't be the only one who dwell on this missed shot of Messi in extra time (90+5?). A missile that *almost* killed the game...

(sorry, I couldn't get a better quality picture :pikuh: )

I was thinking how similar it was to a Zidane shot back in 2006 final, in extra-time at 1-1. I find both to be extraordinarily similar in their scenario: a player can score and secure win to his team, but the goalkeeper saves it. Thankfully for Messi, he didn't do what Zidane did after the shoot...
He won it after all.

Pelé classing the shootout penalty he scored as Mbappe's 4th goal in the game is so hilariously on brand
Fwiw, the wording makes it uncertain but I think Pelé also refers to Mbappe 4th goal in a WC final, in total? So, including the 2018 goal he scored against Croatia.
