I’m with you on the quality of the center referee. He was on top of everything. I’m glad you commented on him.
It was an amazing game that Argentina deserved to win. The buildup to Di Maria’s goal was a master class. Messi’s ball skills that opened up the counterattack was incredible. Messi is the GOAT.

I have to say, I think that is the most perfect team play I’ve ever seen. I am still stunned by how artful it was. Just beautiful.
Referees play a special role in the game, and I think this was the first game I’ve ever watched where I agreed with every call or non-call made. This game will live on in my mind as a special one for years to come.
