OT: 2022 World Cup Thread

[RUTrack94]

Looks like Argentina with those last 2 subs may have been the spark of Argentina holds on.

 

[RUTrack94]

Don’t get stupid here like that PK …

 

[RU848789]

No way! That's clearly a PK - how can you do that?

 

[ClassOf02]

Holy shite. PK for France now.

 

[RU-05]

All African French team now

Do you make note of this every every time team USA plays basketball, or every track and field event.

 

[RUTrack94]

Don’t get stupid here like that PK …

Unintentional hand ball … just give France the cup.

 

[RU848789]

Can't they just add 30 more minutes to the game, lol?

 

[RUTrack94]

Every freaking team I root for seems to freaking lose …

 

[T2Kplus20]

My stream blew a tire just before that goal.

Hard-wired cable is your friend.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Unintentional hand ball … just give France the cup.

That's not the criterion and has not been for years. The question is was the arm in an unnatural position, which it was. PK in any league in the world

 

[brgRC90]

What a final,wow

 

[RU848789]

Amazing save by Martinez and then the other Martinez whiffed on the header - incredible match, just incredible!

 

[RUTrack94]

How did he miss that? Two surprising opportunities by Argentina.

Calling it now. France wins on PK with Messi missing one. It’s been that kind of World Cup based on other teams I rooted for.

The more I watch sports, the more obvious to call the end result? Argentina got some breaks at the end. Hope I’m wrong, Messi hits the PK, and Argentina pulls the upset.

 

[leftoright]

Should play on til a real goal.

 

[Doctor Worm]

One of the best matches in history will end in the worst way.

 

[leftoright]

Argi wins

 

[brgRC90]

France lays it all out. No super safe playing not to lose.

 

[RUPete]

Best final I have ever seen in my lifetime dating back to when I started following it in 1978.

 

[RUTrack94]

At least this game is a game both played hard enough to win, versus the type of game where both teams try to give the game away.

Very disappointed Argentina lost both leads.

 

[leftoright]

Don't bring in Harry Kane

 

[T2Kplus20]

Should play on til a real goal.

All real sports do.

 

[RUboston]

Great game. too bad it comes to penalty kicks.

 

[RU848789]

Best final I have ever seen in my lifetime dating back to when I started following it in 1978.

Same here - 78 was the first I watched...

 

[leftoright]

Uh, oh

 

[RUTrack94]

The more I watch sports, the more obvious to call the end result? Argentina got some breaks at the end. Hope I’m wrong, Messi hits the PK, and Argentina pulls the upset.

Very glad to be wrong … would hate Messi to live with a miss!!!

 

[mdk01]

Over to Telemundo for the coverage

 

[RU848789]

Great save by Martinez!

 

[T2Kplus20]

Shows how lame soccer is. A ticky-tack judgement call based on random chance significantly impacts the game. They need to revamp the entire rule book.

 

[RUTrack94]

2-1 so far on the PKs … advantage Argentina!

 

[RU848789]

In Argentina's grasp now...

 

[BigEastPhil]

Come on Argentina !

 

[leftoright]

Uh, oh

Swing and a miss

 

[RUTrack94]

Wow … missed the goal!
Don’t get cocky here and hold on.

 

[RUTrack94]

3-1 Argentina after three!!!!

 

[T2Kplus20]

Great game. too bad it comes to penalty kicks.

It would be better to call it a tie and have co-champs.

 

[RU848789]

Argentina wins!!!! Best WC ever, despite having to end it in PKs. So happy for Messi to finally win a WC, as he's been my favorite player for a long time.

 

[leftoright]

They deserved it.

 

[mdk01]

Not the best time to be a 1 note Charlie.

 

[RUTrack94]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!
What a game!!!!!!!!!!

 

[leftoright]

Argentines spent life savings to get here. Unforgettable.
