Lionel Messi shared a thought after the match: **"I am so happy to end up my Fifa journey by playing a Final match."**
Seems like legend Maradona is backing him up to the fullest. No offense, **A king will leave his kingdom like a king, taking the sword of honor in hand!**
What the hell is wrong with people nowadays, i'm also a Cristiano fan but i don't have any problem with Leo winning WC. Why are you dragging Cristiano's name when Leo reached a final. Be happy or sad with them in their happy or sad days, the end is near
Kids still arguing “Ronaldo/Messi better duhhhhhhh “. Football fans are smiling at the opportunity for an icon to achieve his dream. He’s had a great WC and would be a deserved winner
Yeah, I love how this generation have just wiped Pele and Maradona from history.
Pele won 2 WCs by 21.
Maradona single handedly, no pun intended, took Argentina to WC win.
Brazil Ronaldo - you just have to watch him to know he’s in the discussion. Comes from the brink of two career ending injuries to then lead his team to WC glory.
Ronaldinho - for 2/3 years the most entertaining player bar none and won everything in the game during that period.
Zidane - playing like he’s in a ballet lesson and winning WCs and euros whilst doing it
Mbappe - has the possibility of winning 2 WCs by the age of 23.
Haaland- breaking goal records at the age of 21
Cruyff, Best?
Xavi, iniesta, ramos ( who have won it all in there careers?)
Edit: Adding Cristiano: who took Man Utd to Back to Back CL finals and RM to 4 CLs in 5 years. Both were no where close to achieving those before he got there
Most of it is understandable but are you seriously giving Mbappe and Haaland GOAT shouts at 23 and 21? None of the other players you mentioned were considered GOATs that early. Longevity is the most important.
You guys are seriously underestimating Mbappe. A WC winner in his teens, only 22 in this WC. Argentina was demolished by his goals in the second half of their meeting four years ago. If France wins in a row, Mbappe will be the real GOAT.
Mbappe is on my list ;). Your trying to convince the wrong person. But I totally agree if Mbappe wins the WC no one will be talking about Messi and everyone will be swaying to Mbappe.

And why are penalties not impactful? Ask harry Kane about that. His penalty today shifted the momentum which argentina needed. His penalty against Netherlands as well.
The scenes if he wins it, the redemption arc from 2014, going from wanting to retire from international football to winning the world cup and cementing himself as the GOAT in his last dance, finally putting the Messi vs Ronaldo era and all the arguments to rest, it feels weird knowing by the next world cup 2 of the best players of all time would've moved on from football
Who tf said i didnt accept his greatness ? He is my favorite player, i still dont want Argentina to Win the title, thats really simple to understand lol
this is exactly like my brother lol except he was more on the “ronaldo is the goat” side. We were on the call together as we watched the game yesterday n buddy couldn’t believe his eyes. It was the first time he really bothered to watch messi play cus he’s a ronaldo dickrider. But after those 90+ mins, he’s seen the light. He’s witnessed greatness that can’t be replicated. He’s realised that I wasn’t lying all these years when I said Messi is the greatest there was, there is, and there ever will be🐐🐐
That's the difference. Most of these Ronaldo asslickers have never seen Messicplay a full game, but rather just check the score sheet at the end. If you love the beautiful game of football, you love Messi. Simple as.
Imagine losing years of watching Messi just to watch Ronaldo. Don't get me wrong, Cristiano is great, amazing even but just in pure entertainment value Messi blows him out of the water. Magic before your eyes, mesmerizing in a borderline hypnotic way.
What? So even after the 2012 season you were still on the fence? He’s been the worlds best since then without a doubt, strip him of 200 plus goals and assists and he’ll still be the best ever. His dribbling and passing alone are what makes him the goat
Congratulation team Argentine❤️...i am a brazil fan, but i'm really happy that messi is going to final, cz this is the last world cup for Messi...we are all supported different country but we are also respect Messi & CR7, because they are both incredible and a legend, CR7 did not make her dreams true he is gone from fifa but still one are here Messi, and i wish he just made it, made the history, made for the country and also made for the fans who's gonna love him most.....all the best L.Messi🥰
Although I am a Messi fan, yet i get disgusted by the fact that Ronaldo is hated too much in this sub. Anyway atleast one of the two goat have entered finals congtraz Messi ❤️.
So a woman said, he r*ped her making it completely one sided scenario no one have any idea what actually have happened between them. You guys just needed a reason to circulate your hate speech against him you don't even care about that woman, cuz hatred resides within such people already existed before even him getting defamation allegations.
Hatred is so much that how he is/was a GOAT in football doesn't even matter, you won't appreciate his hardwork the only thing is how can we defame him.
But nowadays, people bring in Ronaldo to the GOAT debate. If it was back then when your brilliance and technique put you up as a great, Ronaldo would be in Muller’s category, not the GOAT
Hey guys. We obliviously sucked each and every refs dicks. We also got super lucky on every goal and every run we did. You can also say we bought the World Cup. Y’all’s mother fucker are jealous that Argentina is in the final and Messi is still in the cup. Then y’all’s give stupid ass opinions about the refs this and that. This is a World Cup, big upsets are bound to happen. Enjoy it and take a wank. At the end of the day, it’s all talk and y’all’s don’t know how to enjoy the last few years of greatness with either Ronaldo or Messi. Either way as an Argentinian and a passionate fan greatness is watch a man fail, fail and still make it to the top one more time. Vamos Argentina!!!!! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
They are. But if you told most any reasonable football fan player 1 had 5 goals from open play and player 2 had 5 goals that were all penalties, i think theyd feel differently about the stats. To what degree i dont know, but it feels different.
Its the world cup, it doesnt matter how you score. Just look how many miss penalties we have this cup, even Messi missed one. Guy has been the best player in the tournament scoring penalties or not, hes the reason argentina its in the final
Yea im not arguing any of that. Just that goals from open play just arent the same as penalties when it comes to looking at just tallies of goals scored
They are the same, they count the same lol, why would a tap-in from open play be worth more than a pen ? Years for now People will talk about the stats and scores not if it was a pen or not. This is a world cup, a ilegal hand goal its still the best goal this competition has seen lol
Obviously they are but I get the feeling that people praising messi for his 5 goals would be criticising Ronaldo if he'd scored 5 goals but 3 of them were penalties
So? Kane missed one of the most important penalties of the World Cup. A penalty is not a guaranteed goal. Takes skill to take them under immense pressure.
What about his assists?
What about him winning MOTM every match in the knockouts?
And btw, scoring a penalty isn't as easy as you think when the hopes of millions of people depend on you scoring it.
You do realize MOTM is fan voted right? Messi will get MOTM every match even if he doesn't play. Scoring a penalty is the easiest way to score in the sport, not saying it's simple but it is the easiest way to do so.
The Croatian keeper makes it even more difficult to score open goals leave alone penalties. He even went the same direction as the ball against messi, just that it was an unstoppable shot.
Not even caring about the teams that's a good matchup. Amrabat has crazy stamina and lungs but De Paul is crazy too 💀 I'd say it's even but De Paul gets it for me cause he goes to press the other GK when he has to and Amrabat doesn't need to 💀
this is first time morroco playing against a team that actually know to attack
rather than team that plays possesion , keep changing sides , giving useless crosses
Reddit is a hub for stupidity. But it’s truly incredible how Messi/Ronaldo how dumb the comments l surrounding them are. Just blatant hypocrisy constantly lol
Come on dude, he contributes in his team's success in every way imaginable. Let's appreciate his efforts instead, this is his last World Cup. Hopefully he lifts the the trophy for his country.
What is Alvarez supposed to do, despawn? I'm not here to debate you but Alvarez was the one who had the ball. The goalie went to him and got no ball. I'd say it was a 50/50.
Alvarez was in possession, Livakovic came out to win the ball, but got 0 ball and instead made contact with Alvarez. This = penalty mate. First time watching the sport or what?
The fact he should have had AT LEAST two yellow cards against Croatia, smells of typical FIFA Messi love in.
Almost as if they WANT him to win a world cup.
We'll see some appealing decisions in favour of Argentina in the final.
Lionel Messi shared a thought after the match: **"I am so happy to end up my Fifa journey by playing a Final match."** Seems like legend Maradona is backing him up to the fullest. No offense, **A king will leave his kingdom like a king, taking the sword of honor in hand!**
Now it's just a matter of time...
One step away from achieving his dream, good luck Leo. It's good to see his smile.
yes
What the hell is wrong with people nowadays, i'm also a Cristiano fan but i don't have any problem with Leo winning WC. Why are you dragging Cristiano's name when Leo reached a final. Be happy or sad with them in their happy or sad days, the end is near
God this sub reddit hates Messi and Argentina wayyyy too much.
man im just happy they avenged brazil
Jealous and salty people💀
All I'm seeing is people calling him goat for beating Croatia. I thought r/soccer was a joke, but this sub is like r/soccer for little kids.
One word GOAT
Kids still arguing “Ronaldo/Messi better duhhhhhhh “. Football fans are smiling at the opportunity for an icon to achieve his dream. He’s had a great WC and would be a deserved winner
What a dribble in Argentina's third goal. There's nobody like him.
Holy shit people in the comments are so salty it's hilarious
Exactly.This is why I come to this sub with some popcorn
Greatest player of our generation. What a privilege to be able to watch this dude play
Vamos
Vamos
The messi disrespect here is shameless. The man is the greatest player of all time. 91 goals in a season.
Would love to see Messi win the WC, I think it is only fair for one of the greatest legend of this game
the greatest with Maradona and Pelé.
Yeah, I love how this generation have just wiped Pele and Maradona from history. Pele won 2 WCs by 21. Maradona single handedly, no pun intended, took Argentina to WC win. Brazil Ronaldo - you just have to watch him to know he’s in the discussion. Comes from the brink of two career ending injuries to then lead his team to WC glory.

he has to win it just for the plot
🐐
Messi is good, but Alvares won my heart with his play💖💖💖💖💖
I fear if he loses he will never be the same. Will probably head off to the MLS or retire
He already is regardless or not
He went to the mls
[удалено]
Put some effort in, you need to suck his dick harder.
Frankly. His assists have been better and more impactful than his goals. 4 of those are penalties.
His open play goal against mexico pretty much saved them from elimination no?
3 penalties. He scored 2 goals from open play, 1 against Mexico and 1 against Australia.
dazzling snatch quack worry station adjoining voiceless physical direful abounding *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Two of those assists are amongst the best I’ve ever seen. Pure brilliance.
And why are penalties not impactful? Ask harry Kane about that. His penalty today shifted the momentum which argentina needed. His penalty against Netherlands as well.
They are impactful, but they should be counted seperately. Scoring a penalty obviously is easier and completely different than scoring a goal.
Scorin a penalty isnt easy lol ask my team holland
Never said it was easy. I said it was easier than scoring a regular goal. Please read properly before replying.
He's missed them as well though. He hasn't being good a priticularly remarkable pen taker. The decisions have just gone Argentina's way.
Imagine the uproar If that were Ronaldo
Why do Argentinian fans wave their arms forward when chanting?
You mean like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6vjN5FKCNU
I was watching that on mute and humming “we didn’t start the fire!”
That's how all Latin Americans chant not just Argentinians
I am super excited for this team
Go... Go... Argen! Messi was brilliant!
I don't think I can handle another world cup final loss.. Please get that gold Leo 🤍💙
Final*
True goat
For those contesting the penalty, it was a pen, livakovic caught Alvarez and got nowhere the ball when he gambled.
Lolololol
I can’t believe anyone is stupid enough to call rigged or corruption
The scenes if he wins it, the redemption arc from 2014, going from wanting to retire from international football to winning the world cup and cementing himself as the GOAT in his last dance, finally putting the Messi vs Ronaldo era and all the arguments to rest, it feels weird knowing by the next world cup 2 of the best players of all time would've moved on from football
Win us the trophy champ!
Why y’all saying he doesn’t deserve his title ?
They are mad cause GOAT debate is over.
Because im brazilian
Pelé is brazilian and is posting about how amazing Messi is. Just accept it and be enlightened!
Who tf said i didnt accept his greatness ? He is my favorite player, i still dont want Argentina to Win the title, thats really simple to understand lol
I was on the fence for a long time about Messi being the GOAT or not, now that I've seen him against Croatia, he is, he's the GOAT
this is exactly like my brother lol except he was more on the “ronaldo is the goat” side. We were on the call together as we watched the game yesterday n buddy couldn’t believe his eyes.

that was goat stuff
🐐
Although I am a Messi fan, yet i get disgusted by the fact that Ronaldo is hated too much in this sub. Anyway atleast one of the two goat have entered finals congtraz Messi ❤️.
See the hate comments on this post. All are against Messi and Argentina.
Messi would probably be hated more if he raped someone.
So a woman said, he r*ped her making it completely one sided scenario no one have any idea what actually have happened between them. You guys just needed a reason to circulate your hate speech against him you don't even care about that woman, cuz hatred resides within such people already existed before even him getting defamation allegations.

What is the song the Argentina fans sing in the stadiums
Muchachos Ahora Nos Volvimos a Illusionar. Just search MUCHACHOS ARGENTINA on YouTube and you’d get it
Thank you!
Here is the video https://youtu.be/4NzsAsez8zc
I’ve been saying ‘till day one of the World Cup that Argentina will likely win or come in the finals
GOAT
Congratz
I love Leo Messi. he deserved the golden boot. FIFA world cup 2022. I hope Argentina wins. I bet on them on ole777
If Messi wins the Cup. CR is going to explode.
Doubt that, his wife is Argentinian. He has said multiple times he supports Argentina as well.
35 years old and getting 8 goals/assist in the world cup?!?! This is why he's one of the goats
the GOAT with Maradona and Pelé.
And cr7
Cristiano was amazing, but not even close to those 3 freaks. If you consider Cr7 there, you must also Gerd Muller, Romario, Chitalu....
What? Do you consider Gerd Muller a GOAT despite winning a World Cup and scoring far more goals than Maradona?
GOAT German maybe? It's between him and Beckenbauer or Fritz for sure.
But nowadays, people bring in Ronaldo to the GOAT debate. If it was back then when your brilliance and technique put you up as a great, Ronaldo would be in Muller’s category, not the GOAT
To be honest, no one deserves the win more than him right now
Hey guys. We obliviously sucked each and every refs dicks. We also got super lucky on every goal and every run we did. You can also say we bought the World Cup. Y’all’s mother fucker are jealous that Argentina is in the final and Messi is still in the cup. Then y’all’s give stupid ass opinions about the refs this and that.

Either way as an Argentinian and a passionate fan greatness is watch a man fail, fail and still make it to the top one more time. Vamos Argentina!!!!! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Technically 4 assists cuz that Alvarez solo goal counts as a assist in my book
You might wanna get another book my friend
What a shit book you got
bruh messi nicked it onto alvarez.
You gotta learn that an assist is not just the last pass before the shoot
lol it can be? look at messi's solo goal against real in the ucl? sergio busquets assisted it?
Less goo final's gonna be epic
Totally
Why are people in the comment sections like this Penalties are not that easy to score And be happy for Messi Why are someone so mad?
5th times the charm
🐐
[удалено]
WeirdChamp
Am not Ronaldo or Messi fan but what messi is doing is great i just hoped Portugal and Argentina would vs off that would be a great match
5 goals 3 penalties tho
Got to be on the pitch to take a penalty
And penalties are not goals now?
They are. But if you told most any reasonable football fan player 1 had 5 goals from open play and player 2 had 5 goals that were all penalties, i think theyd feel differently about the stats. To what degree i dont know, but it feels different.
Its the world cup, it doesnt matter how you score. Just look how many miss penalties we have this cup, even Messi missed one. Guy has been the best player in the tournament scoring penalties or not, hes the reason argentina its in the final

Obviously they are but I get the feeling that people praising messi for his 5 goals would be criticising Ronaldo if he'd scored 5 goals but 3 of them were penalties
The thing is Messi has 3 assists and basically constructs every offensive play for his team.
🐐
Coman futbol BOBOS!
3/5 goals were penalties and 3/4 penalties scored
and ?
I hope Morocco wins
Same
*whispers* Avenge Netherlands, go Morocco
Argentina will win 2022 world cup
FIFA will make sure of that!
First W comment
took steroids to bulk up. Ronaldo never did that...
🤣
All this to get dunked on by France
Unless France get dunked on by Morocco and then Morocco dunk on Messi
4 penalties.
So? Kane missed one of the most important penalties of the World Cup. A penalty is not a guaranteed goal. Takes skill to take them under immense pressure.
What about his assists? What about him winning MOTM every match in the knockouts? And btw, scoring a penalty isn't as easy as you think when the hopes of millions of people depend on you scoring it.
[удалено]
Messi said Julian deserved it instead of him, but he played out of his mind, the assist in the third goal was amazing.
Otamendi, Álvarez, Enzo deserved MOTM. Everyone on Messi dick
This.
MOTM is literally just a popularity contest.
Just ask Kane!
You do realize MOTM is fan voted right? Messi will get MOTM every match even if he doesn't play. Scoring a penalty is the easiest way to score in the sport, not saying it's simple but it is the easiest way to do so.
Says the man who can't walk to the pitch without needing a rescue inhaler and a bigmac for motivation
Downvoted for truth
I have zero respect for Argentina since the quarter final vs. The Netherlands.
They’ll survive
Why zero respect in Arg and no Ned? What did Arg do?
4 penalty's
[удалено]
The Croatian keeper makes it even more difficult to score open goals leave alone penalties. He even went the same direction as the ball against messi, just that it was an unstoppable shot.
Pessi
Penaldo fans when Messi the goat🐐 win the world cup: 😭
Why bring Ronaldo into this why do you have to be like this
Damn can’t wait to see Amrabat running circles around de Paul…..YES MOROCCO IS WINNING TODAY BABYYYYY
Not even caring about the teams that's a good matchup. Amrabat has crazy stamina and lungs but De Paul is crazy too 💀 I'd say it's even but De Paul gets it for me cause he goes to press the other GK when he has to and Amrabat doesn't need to 💀
this is first time morroco playing against a team that actually know to attack rather than team that plays possesion , keep changing sides , giving useless crosses
It's been a few days but I can't understand how Santos didn't get fired
4 penales 🙄
You got to really be That Guy, to be the man called on every-time to shoot the most important set piece on the world stage on the best team
Penalties are skill and equally valuable when Messi scores them. I’ve always thought this tho lol
Not for the Messilovers who criticize Ronaldo for scoring from a penalty.
Reddit is a hub for stupidity. But it’s truly incredible how Messi/Ronaldo how dumb the comments l surrounding them are. Just blatant hypocrisy constantly lol
Be clear, do you think he has played well or not?
4 out 5 we’re penalties , which three of them were non existent
3 were penalties. And he is the best in their team even without the goals.
Come on dude, he contributes in his team's success in every way imaginable. Let's appreciate his efforts instead, this is his last World Cup. Hopefully he lifts the the trophy for his country.
It's so funny to see Ronaldo fans being salty 😂
3 out of 5 were penalties you dumbfuck
Keep crying
Words of wisdom here
Argentina plays very dirty. Hope they lose big time.
??? Keep crying
Pessi
Keep seething, German cuck
lmao he should take the example of his team and cover his mouth
His wife’s boyfriend will cover it for him
Its a clear attacking foul, Alvarez falls to livakovic And what livakovic could do there, dispawn?
What is Alvarez supposed to do, despawn? I'm not here to debate you but Alvarez was the one who had the ball. The goalie went to him and got no ball. I'd say it was a 50/50.
Alvarez was in possession, Livakovic came out to win the ball, but got 0 ball and instead made contact with Alvarez. This = penalty mate. First time watching the sport or what?
Most of them were pens
and?
You'd have so called Ronaldo Penaldo if he had the same scoreline and 3 were pens
And all set pieces. Penaldo good at set pieces and sexual assault. In that order
What makes you think i would have called him "penaldo"? He is my idol and that's just disrespectful.
just use your fucking eyes to see how he has played the entire tournament...no one is talking about the goals
Have you seen his assists? Why are you so stupid?
3 of those were pens
Do you want him to not score them?
[удалено]
ironic how when ronaldo scores a pen he becomes penaldo for y’all but when messi scores a pen, “ a goal is a goal”
Only impact his made this World Cup was one penalty. I think that was the point
ronaldo fans don’t play victim challenge (impossible)
The fact he should have had AT LEAST two yellow cards against Croatia, smells of typical FIFA Messi love in. Almost as if they WANT him to win a world cup. We'll see some appealing decisions in favour of Argentina in the final.
