Crazy game. I’m glad Messi won.

I don’t know. For three hours you watch the ball going from one end of the field to the other and finally in the shootout in the last five-to-ten minutes maybe there’s some actual scoring.

I’m glad we have sports in America that you can actually enjoy watching.

What a stupid boring game.

Is it over. Are all the ‘Cups’ now over?

[higgmeister]

So all this hype is over now?   Finally!

In how many countries do they equalize pay between men and women?

Congratulations Argentina! It was several games in one: France didn’t show up in the first half and fell behind 2 - 0. Then they scored twice in the second half in the space of ninety seconds to tie it. Argentina scores in the 110th minute to go ahead, then a handball by the Argies gives France a penalty kick and they tie it with a few ticks on the clock. The Argentine goalie was fantastic. Made a great save in the overtime and then blocked one kick (another French kicker put his shot wide). So again, congratulations Argentina and Messi and all the players! To the French, zoot alors!

Penalty Kicks are bullsh*t.

Take two players off with each additional overtime.

And so we bid adios (adieu?) to Qatar, which out and out bought itself a World Cup tournament, and where third country nationals gave their lives to build the facilities.

Soccer can be a nice game to watch when they just have to tie, but it is a great game to watch when they have to win. This was one of the best sporting events I ever watched.

Messi likes Che Guevara and wears the infamous “Che” shirt. France was already communist before Che. Who to hate more? Messi, or France?

Amazing that Argentina could win the World Cup without any racial, ethnic, or gender diversity on the team.

Or maybe that is precisely why they won.

[ealgeone]

Did Messi win or Argentina?

[liberalh8ter]

Congratulations to Argentina!

[Jolla]

Great match, Argentine played like they wanted it. Happy for Messi. The French typically don't mind coming in second.

[Chode]

the french team is black???

[csvset]

Exciting match, it being settled by penalty kicks was a bit of a let down after the 3-3 tie. There were some good plays. The hat trick by the French player in a losing effort .
