Messi fans are delusional

Mbappe carried his entire team and got a hattrick. He clearly preformed better than Messi here. It's not his fault France can't score penalties and their goalies.

Mbappe ended the goat debate.

Messi has shook hands with paradise

Like most people here, i just saw the best football match of my life, and also the end of the best world cup ever

We had such amazing histories, from unexpected results in the first phase, to the rising of teams like Japan and Marrocos, which showed that there is amazing technique outside of Europe and South America

I think we can all agree that Mbappe will be the greatest french player ever, and possibly top 5 of the history, he represents the unstoppable brute force of the young

But Messi... He is the opposite, he is the synthesis of his 172 matches wearing the Argentina uniform (26 of those in World Cups, one of many records he archive today). He is a beautiful story that now concludes maybe his most glorious chapter.

Back in 2014, when he lost against Germany here in Brazil, i remember a news reporter saying: "He for sure will be in 2018, but what about 2022?"

Well, the reporter got his answer today

I think it is important to remember that football is a team's game, and the Argentina's team had a talent that goes beyond Messi, from Angel di Maria (Even older than Messi) Scoring with that beautiful assistance, to Martinez miraculous defense that literally saved his country, to Enzo Fernadez, the ascend star that represents this new era for the South America football

Even the coach, did you guys know that he was a last minute chose? He has the most underappreciated job in this sport, he is the one that extracts the best of his players. And he absolutely managed to do that today

What a ride, thanks everybody for the company, until 2026!

Its important to note that Messi DESERVE IT. You can hate but this is truth.

To add insult to the injury, Mbappe's Golden Boot was flopping around all over the place.

That game was a spectacle for all football lovers. What about Messi, the eighth Ballon d'Or is on the way?

 

[Quantu]

Possibly, who else other than Mbappe could challenge him

young messi destroys everyone, true but I think that the 2022 Argentinian team is as good as the 2014 team, if not better

Si en 2014 no se lesionaba Di Maria lo ganabamos

Es cierto, pero el equipo de Alemania era jodidamente peligroso también y llegar a ese nivel fue una de las mejores cosas que Sabella hizo como técnico, encima ese Alemania fue el mismo que le hizo 7-1 a Brasil. También el equipo de Francia de ahora fue peligroso, Mbappé solito hizo todos los goles aunque dos fueron por penales, mientras que Alemania los hacía por sí mismos.

Igualmente creo que ahora mismo estámos al nivel de 2014 por Enzo Fernández, Julián Álvarez y Lautaro Martines e obviamente el Dibu que es un arquerazo, no se sí somos mejores que en 2014 pero Scaloni definitivamente es de los mejores técnicos que ha tenido la AFA, de lejos.

 

[Deleted member 11410]

LLORA

Lo peor es que la mitad de los goles de Mbappé fueron por penales, en realidad solo hizó uno como Messi.

¿Y el mejor jugador del mundial quién fue? Messi

 

[MonkeyOfLife]

France's goals were absolute bs and trash... That's no hatrick.

Pele bro

Yeah, Messi still need to win 2 more WC to be compared to him. Though both of them sit on a table that nobody else sits.

I hope people calling Mbappe the GOAT are bating, dude isn't even the best French player yet. Ronaldo, both Cristiano and Fenomeno clears him. Obviously, he has a brilliant future ahead, but as of now, he is just a good player.

 

[Recon1511]

Pele bro

No offense to Pelé but the level back then was much lower and most of his goals were against Brazilian teams that no one knows

 

[M3X_2.0]

You know why Pelé didn't play against europeans teams? Back then they were mostly trash, Brazilian league until the 80s used to dominate football. Santos, the team he played for, even refused to play Copa Libertadores, a tournament with the best south american teams because the level was also too low compared to the clubs in Brazil.

Why is Pelé the greatest in history? Simple, because after Pelé, football becomes professional and starts to crawl towards what it is today. Pelé forces football to change, because the way it was, it would be impossible to continue. Pelé is the breaking point between two eras, the pre- and post-Pelé eras. Before Pelé, football is archaic, with players caring little about their physical conditioning. Pelé forces all of this to evolve and seek a physical football united to the individual technical level. For many, he is the greatest genius of all time - or at least he is always in the top 3 - and not for less, he is certainly the only one who compares to Messi (or the other way around) in technical football. One of the greatest scorers and also one of the greatest assistants of all time. Anyway, it is impossible to take Pelé out of the top 3 best in history (for me, the top 2) and this obviously increases his greatness. He is the greatest player in the history of the World Cup, the only one to win 3 titles in the tournament, the player with the most G/A's, and a player with one of the greatest performances in the history of the World Cup, in 1970 (for me, the 3/4th best), all this with less than 20 games in the competition.
