From my experience, when two teams of similar quality meet in the finals it always ends up being a quite cautious and a little bit boring game and I thought this one would be like that as well. I'm glad I was wrong. I started the match as a neutral but when Argentina scored the second I started rooting for France just so they would make a comeback and they thankfully did. Mbappe was nowhere for 75 minutes and then he just woke up and showed why he is so highly regarded. Big props to him for taking the first penalty in the shootout, it shows how mentally strong he is as well.
In the end, Argentina won fairly, Messi got his crowning achievement, and we got to watch one of the greatest games of football. This match will be talked about for decades.
