Theres a WW2 history joke somewhere between Switzerland and Argentina but im too tired to think of anything funny. Switzerland without Manzambi vs Argentina with Scaloni who famously has no tactics. As someone who loves the deeper parts of the beautiful this game it is not something to necessarily look forward to. Messi is all i was really interested in, and Licha and Taglia my Ajax goats. Who would’ve thought the game went exactly as expected? At least a Messi assist so that gets all kinds of records again. Also that Embolo dive lmao, why the fuck would you do that on a yellow? What a fucking goal from Alvarez though in extra time, fucking unbelievable really. Even a third goal still from Argentina, they actually did shit for once. Messi with 10 World Cup assists now, first to reach that. Also Argentina have scored 2+ goals in 12 consecutive games. Breaking Uruguay their record of 11 between 1930 and 1954. Switzerland out but their first quarter final since 1954, i think this achievement is more than they could have ever imagined. Argentina somehow survived again, im very skeptical how they will do against England, its not looking good at all they just play so so bad. Its Messi and thats all. Man of the match Licha, hes the goat, hes the best, hes everything. 8 defcon, heatmap being everywhere, joint most dribbles completed lmao.

Ah, the Men’s World Cup final, perhaps i will keep my review short this time. All 104 games watched, happy with that. I love watching this Spain side, it’s boring for most, but to me this is one of the most beautiful ways of playing football. The way they confidently pass the ball around with no fear, despite this being the biggest game for every single one of them, is just amazing. Really unfortunate to have Licha get injured, one of the best players of Argentina this tournament and so important for them. Spain had Argentina by their throats though for the first 45 minutes. 0 shots, 0 shots on target, no chances created, blah blah blah a lot of zeros for Argentina in the first half lmao. Really high intensity from a defensive perspective though of Argentina. Second half was more of the same, quite some chances for Spain but everything being shot straight at Dibu. Ref was really in control of the game though, he deserves his praises as well. What a way to fuck it up though from Enzo Fernandez, incredibly stupid challenge when you’re already on a yellow. Actual idiot. Great save from Dibu in the last minute though, good game from him. After 90 minutes 15 shots to 0 shots lmao. Argentina the first team to have 0 shots in 90 minutes of a World Cup final. Disallowed goal was weird, I’d probably agree with the ref but it was a bit weak. Weird Eric García and Zubimendi got subbed on, both had made 0 minutes all tournament. What a shot from Ferran Torres, all the slander this tournament but he does it when it matters most, incredible. Man of the match has to be Pau Cubarsí, insane performance and only 19. Lastly i really want to thank everyone who have liked my long ass reviews the past month and the kind words too, genuinely means a lot to me to be able to say everything i have to say about games and people actually reading that all ❤️❤️❤️. Club season will have more long reviews from me. Some stats in comments for those interested.

Game of the tournament nothing comes even close what the actual fuck. Jude Bellingham proving me wrong and Jordan Pickford proving me wrong. Theres so much to say. A great start to the game, very close to each other, but Jude getting two great goals within 90 seconds of each other. Mexico scoring the 2-1 quickly after too to get into half time. Second half was so violent honestly, fair read for Quansah id say as well. Two penalties, one for each team to keep it 2-3. The moment Quiñones was subbed off it was kinda it for Mexico though, very strange decision. Gotta give credit to England, even though i called it after my Mexico - Ecuador review as well. England just have much more quality against a team that doesnt sit back. Obviously wasnt like that all game because of the red card. But the passion after that from all the subs as well was incredible, they put their lives on the line and thats something you only see in international football. Only 33% possession lmao. First team to beat Mexico at the Azteca in a World Cup game too. Its a unfortunate ending for a excellent Mexico this tournament, but they can still be happy i think all things considered, especially with someone like Mora being even better in 4 years. Having this World Cup classic at the Azteca made it a absolute 20/10 its not even close, my favorite World Cup game of all time. Ref was also great this game to keep a chaotic match in check. England - Norway will be a banger. Man of the match gotta be Jude though he was great, but honestly all of them were excellent. Just wow honestly this is what football is about.
