World Cup Final

Day of the World Cup final and I oddly feel at peace compared to how I felt in 2022

Regardless of whether Argentina win or lose today, people will look back at this specific tournament as by far Messi’s best international campaigns.

8 goals (NO PENS!)

4 assists

12 goal contributions (the most in the tournament)

People will also lose their minds, but it’s also guaranteed that regardless of the result, Messi will win the golden ball and be the ONLY player in World Cup history to win it 3 times.

When you see the way the other Argentina players cry as they talk about what Messi means to them, the way former players and managers all speak about Messi with admiration (even his previous competitors), it really doesn’t matter if he goes back-to-back; he’s already won the respect of his people and the sport.

At 39 years old and 6 world cups later, Lionel Messi has nothing else to prove.

#I saw a video of Toni kroos gassing him up the other day like ????????)??#same with Marcelo and Casemiro #it’s insane how well respected he is in the sport #and then u have idiots online say that he’s ruined the World Cup #absolutely hilarious #it’s also not even about the stats with Messi #it’s about HOW HE plays football and how he makes you feel #no other player can ever do that for me in the same way #what a privilege it has been to watch him play #I don’t care about the golden boot to be honest or the record #at the end of the day it isn’t as important to Messi either like he’d rather assist than hog the ball for the sake of an agenda to score #that’s what makes him so different #argentina nt #argentina #lionel messi #world cup #wc 2026 #leo messi #messi

The greatest player in the world plays his last World Cup final today

#last one of the tournament #I can’t believe this new tradition I started has lasted me from start to finish this entire tournament #I love trying to find cool pics of him to post on match day #anyways regardless of whether this is his last game for Argentina or World Cup it absolutely is his last World Cup final #but how blessed are we to have witnessed 3 World Cup finals for him #I really never thought it would be possible after 2014 but damn here we are now #once more mi capitano #argentina nt #argentina #lionel messi #world cup #wc 2026 #leo messi #messi #my post

Yall reporting live from the wedding and I’m sat beside an EGYPTIAN who keeps ranting about how they were robbed and how the entire tournament was rigged for Argentina😭😭😭😭

#I didn’t wanna cause a fight at my cousins wedding so I kept quiet #but she was SHIT TALKING SO BADDDDDD #cussing everyone from Messi to Argentina to everyone #saying how she hopes Mbappe wins golden boot and Spain embarrasses Argentina tmw #like omggggggg save meeeee #why always me #but other than that she was actually so chill

I would levitate if Messi scored a free kick in the final

#that’s like my absolute dream #my post

I have faith the team will give Messi all the opportunities to score they want a Messi hat trick as much as we do

Yesss but also I need them to score themselves too!

I’d rather we didn’t ruin our goal scoring chances by trying to pass back to Messi as it’ll cost us the game

Regardless, id rather the wc trophy over the golden boot

#like even if he doesn’t win golden boot #he’s absolutely winning ballon d’or 9 #and that is more important in my eyes #and he’s gonna be the first player to win best player in the tournament 3 times!!!! that will be huge #but I honestly think regardless of if Argentina win or lose he will win that trophy…🫢

Outside of why it matters a lot it would be very fun to open and close the wc with a hattrick

Very very cool way to close everything out!

And I want it to be an ethical hattrick, no penalties over here

#even tho we all know Messi would absolutely miss any pens given to him 😭😭😭#but wow he would be viewed as the ultimate legend if he scored a hattrick
