This consolation match is one for the fans really. Neither of them tried to defend and that's what happens. Good for the fans who want to only see goals. Happy for them.
,Who gives a sh!t about golden boots other than Cr7yng & Mbappe fans? The fact that it can achieved by scoring in useless 3rd place game just proof that its worthless. Who the fck ever talk about Lineker performance in 1986? People are still talking about Zidane, Baggio & Romario performance but not Oleg Salenko & Davor Suker. Pele never win golden boots either. Lets be honest, when this WC begin we're all expecting Messi to hit 4 or 5 at best, assuming we even get into the final... Anyway, Messi is about to win his 3rd golden ball
Their only two victories against big teams since 1966, against Argentina in group stage (but couldnt beat Sweden and Nigeria), and beating France in 3rd place game. When it really matters...
Messi doesn't care about these things. What he is thinking about is winning another title. He is a winner. You could see he didn't care much for the Golden Ball in 2014 without the trophy. Of course on the back of this exhibition England fans well the majority think they could have played like last evening and won the whole thing. France didn't even turn up in the first half and when they did turn up could have scored eight.
They didn't bottle like they didn't bottle it against us. It's more a question of France when they woke up were a superior side as we were.
🤯🇮🇹 PEP GUARDIOLA RECIBIÓ LA PROPUESTA PARA SER EL NUEVO ENTRENADOR DE ITALIA. Se REUNIÓ con Paolo Maldini y Leonardo durante este fin de semana. ‼️[@DiMarzio - @SkyFootball] pic.twitter.com/psDWMk09Vu— Ataque Futbolero (@AtaqueFutbolero) July 20, 2026 And Germany got Klopp...
I wouldn't worry too much. Unlike club management you cannot buy players in. And we've seen highly rated club managers fail disastrously at national level.
Yep, England has tried Cappello, Brazil just tried Ancelotti. We won titles without a nobody named Scaloni.
I take back any criticism I directed towards Scaloni… we lost because of this canadian scum and his unrivaled cursing of teams he bets on
Entering his late 20s, WC 2018 remained his only major achievement. So far Messi WC run actually topped Mbappe. 1 x winner & 2 x runners up (2 golden balls) vs 1 x winner & 1 x runner up (2 golden boots). Funny that when it comes to WC discussion, CR will always be left out. Messi & Cafu still the only two players to played in 3 WC finals. Matthaus reached 3 finals aswell but didnt play the first one.
Oh but if the terrible racist, hateful, nazi argentines had said this the whole world would be in flames and another petition asking FIFA to ban us from international competitions would be created. Get a grip. The social double standard is out of hand.
The best thing about the hosting of World Cup 2026 was the climate - too hot for the pressing-above-everything approach that is the scourge of club football. The beneficiaries were the star attackers, the ball-playing midfielders, and in turn the viewers. https://t.co/HLwWOREgG6— Michael Cox (@Zonal_Marking) July 22, 2026
Is this racism or not because he’s from Spain and not from Argentina? https://t.co/3IAd674FF4— ☀️ (@safictem) July 21, 2026

Haters hates some of our players antics, but has no problem with players like Pepe and Ramos , gotta love their triple standard. That said, Otamendi is basically our Ramos. Italy used to have Materrazzi who's just as annoying.
