Arguably their player of the tournament

[PeterParker]

I think Tranny is about to have a serious meltdown.
I reckon he is very close to give the french squad a bonus just for the to beat Messi in the final.

He can't handle the midget being world champion.

I am really having a laugh.

Life can be very cruel.
The end came very quickly for Tranny.
Strutted into MU and one year later still did not realize what the World knew, that he is no longer good enough for a very average MU and for Portugal. He burnt bridges along the way, then did a stupid interview with Morgan confirming to the World his narcissism.
Perhaps this will be the making of him and a decent human being will emerge.

I will play the devil's advocate here: he always been a cunt and a narcissist, however, since losing his child last summer, he really went crazy. Maybe it got to him. He really looks unstable.
I think Portugal would been better at this WC without him.

This whole thing's been built up as Messi v Mbappe.
They won't let Alvarez piss on their fireworks

To be fair to Messi he’s been absolutely class this tournament.

Alvarez has had a great tournament but Messi has been a joy to watch.
Mbappe isn't the pick of the French team for me- it's got to be Griezmann

I’d even have Giroud above Mbappe. I still can’t fathom Arsenal just giving him away all those years ago.

He was my MOTM in yesterday's semi.

'Alvarez key to Messi and Argentina's success'

Messi in this WC, despite being 35, is still doing things that others cannot.

Messi at the same age as Mbappe was a far superior player.
Maradona and Messi are equals (different eras, different lifestyles), two magicians. The real Ronaldo may have been as good if serious injury had not hit him so early.
Exquisite Art vs. amazing engineering is how I always felt watching Maradona and Messi vs. false Ronaldo. The engineering feat could be admired and appreciated but the artists simply took the breath away.

Bellingham had two good games. The Portuguese kid had one good game Alverez who?!

Pure click bait. Bellingham's hardly a "break out", he's been talked about for the last 3 years. And as far as I'm concerned, Alvarez is already a star, and he already plays for the best team in the land and all the world.

Morocco showing their true colours here. Absolute bellends.

Wonder when it will come out how much Messi was paid by Qatar to be an ambassador

Supposedly is significantly higher than the rumoured £100+M paid to Beckham

[sheblue]

Thankfully its over.
Decent final but a fake soul-less tournament for me.
And the state of that awards ceremony after the final, putting a dressing gown on Messi, wonder how many millions he got for that.

The final WC report on Sky was from Rob Harris - professional Arab/City hater - on location sucking up the free Qatar hospitality for a hostile US broadcaster without any TV rights. Sick.

It was one of the best world cups I can remember - throughly entertaining, decent amount of shocks and a few fairy tales stories such as Morroco's run, Modric leading Croatia to 3rd and obviosuly Messi finally winning it - and lots of good football too

Plastic tournament, lots of dodgy decisions (+ suspicious absence of replays and different angles to support those decisions), Morocco thuggery against France and Croatia played down and passed of as passion (would the reporting have been the same if it was Uruguay?), Mbappe being over hyped, massive embarrassments: Infantino, awards ceremony, Qatar refs being given 3rd place match, Ronaldo, players crying, Messi's dressing gown..........
Biggest sick bucket: Brazil players dancing, Neville and Beckham.
Bravest moment: Iranian players before their first match
Biggest reveal: Welsh fans having rainbow bucket hats confiscated.........imagine what its like on a normal day............

The football was good and I enjoyed it. But this tournament was like no other and not in a good way.

Alvarez proved himself on the world stage and was arguably one of Argentina's strongest players. Ran himself into the ground, provided his team with assists and scored a few as well. Very modest young player. So was i surprised when Talkshite congratulated mainly Macallister, interviwed the Brighton exec and mentioned every other Argentinian playing in the prem except for Alvarez ! Never got a sniff of a mention from Jordan, Keown or the alcoholic Wee Jimmy. Is it deliberate click baiting or ignorance? Nearly stopped driving the car and phoned in for the first time ever. TWATS

Some have been saying for a while that because the media lost the war on City, they now choose to ignore them instead. Like a slapped arse child who doesn’t get their way or softarse who has been embarrassed because they got it so, so wrong.

Alvarez won’t give a fuck about what the British media has to say, or lack of in this case, whilst he is being lorded like a God back home in Argentina.
