And sometimes, like this endorphin festival World Cup final between Argentina and France Sunday night, amidst the bizarre hustle and bustle of Lusail Stadium, it pulls off tricks the rest of the world can’t.
I watched Argentina and its 35-year-old world hero Lionel Messi kick off the hard art of processing how they defeated France and their 23-year-old world hero Kylian Mbappe (4) 10 A billion people are where this person is headed. -2 on penalty kicks after an unrealistic 3-3 draw. They can remember the journey that 46 million Argentines, 67 million French and much of the world took on this incident. From 2-0 Argentina after 79 minutes to 2-2 after 3-2 from 90 minutes. Argentina has 120 to penalties after her 108 to 3 to 3. This is where this entire episode breathes into the future.
In cafés, hairdressers, pubs, classrooms and dens, one manager, Lionel Scaroni of Argentina, said, “The match was completely insane,” while another manager, Didier Deschamps of France, said about the night forever. can talk to I somehow managed to rise from the dead. ”
That’s heading into June 2026, when the next men’s World Cup starts in the United States, Mexico and Canada. How about that 2022 final? Messi seems to be missing in that event, shining in a near-dynasty France full of young stars, but what about that 2022 final? How close were you to winning an unprecedented third consecutive World Cup title?
People far away may not even be able to pinpoint where it happened. with its controversial host Both fascination and anxiety.
People can talk about how Messi won the trophy and what he chased in five World Cups just before that chase came to an end. Talking about how he enhanced his own blossoming image as a ground-shaking figure who turned the losers into one of the opportunities to flatter as much as the winners, becoming the first man in the world to score three goals. It was England’s first cup final since Geoff Hurst in 1966, and the 81st-minute equalizer may be the most memorable of this surprise barrage.
“He can change the game in a split second,” Deschamps said early in the event. Meanwhile, France overcame an uncomfortable amount of injuries to clinch a subsequent final, the first since Brazil in 1998. Deschamps was the defending champion of the World Cup. Unfortunately, he didn’t leave it the way he wanted it to, and he was very disappointed. ”
The disappointment on that face carries over into our memories. That face says it all.

Or maybe talking about the extraordinary energy of her Muani, still 24-year-old Randalcolo, and Marcus Thuram, still 25-year-old, brought on by France’s substitution in the 41st minute. Hmm.

Some remember some of the threats and terrors before and after extra time.
On the streets of Argentine cities, people in crowds will remember how they waited 36 years to run to the streets of Argentine cities. is too much,” Scaroni said of helping give it to the Argentinian in difficult economic timesHe added: But they will be a little happier. That is wonderful. ”
But for the most part, people on the planet who have long been obsessed with the sport will remember how the night finally leaned towards Messi. But you will remember how he turned to his family and fans in Argentina who made an audible fuss.
