Why does this guy hate Mbappe so much? He is constantly changing the subject when jules speaks about Mbappe Goals or chances. I hope Mbappe wins everything in his life.
The final was not the best i ve see – only last twenty minutes was great because of Mbappe's exploits. Otherwise most people will forget how Messi played (except for one move). Even you journalists were disappointed with the entire French team the last two games. Deschamp should resign for not putting on strong team and go for attacking football. 1998 final was far better because France had all the stars on the field. With Mbezima, Pogba and AC Milan goal keeper the trophy would have been in Paris
Easily the most beautiful football stadium ever. Wow. Stunning.
Jajajajajja el brasuka de fondo. Te banco, pero esta nos la llevamos nosotros, bobo.
Very happy for Messi and Argentina after going through so many finals losses😊❤️!!!
Still can’t believe how amazing that game was
I just wish the English football team would've had an ounce of courage, determination and bravery when playing against the French as the Argentina team had. I don't think Southgate is the right man for the English national team.
Best World Cup final ever by far. Never seen anything like what I saw on Sunday. That was breathtaking stuff
New World Cup champions with lots of controversies!
But what a pity that so many people are homosexual, but others at least try to hide. I can't believe how that disabled person can be praised so much, a person was born underdeveloped out of pity, he received 7 ballon d'ors, here they even gave a consolation prize in the world cup, but anyone can honor a person born with an unhealthy condition
Those last worries from Gab made me realize what football in major tournaments is all about,🙌😭
I like Juls but man I expect better from him. I usually like and/or agree with his takes on most things but to say that kolo muani could’ve done this or that is just an excuse at this point. Kolo muani didn’t take that last shot too soon or too late. He took it at the right time. He made the right decision especially given the circumstances. Trying to chip Emi Martinez could’ve gone bad and might’ve had the whole country hating him. It was simply brilliant goalkeeping. Crazy reactions from Emi. High IQ
Let’s talk about the handball by a French player on the play of the 3rd France PK.
Wow; Gabi lost weight?
As an Argentina fan.. After half time we can see that France was dominate in second half and Argentina looks like lost a rythme… I just hope the game end in second half after 2-2 because kylian Mbappe bring chaos to defender and if a simple mistake happened it can lead to defeat.. Extra time can give player process the game again
Sorry guys but I thought the ref had a very bad day, which in the end benefited mostly Argentina. First of all, Di Maria clearly dived. It should have been a yellow card for the Argentinian and nothing else. I honestly couldn’t believe it that VAR didn’t send him to the screen. The fact that he was so quick to show Thuram a yellow card for a similar situation makes it even stranger. Secondly, as Jules mentioned it, Otamendi should have been sent off. It doesn’t matter the occasion, that is a red card all day long. And lastly, he ruined a few clear advantage situation for France. Remember the one when Coman got fouled but he continues to run only to be stopped by the referee’s whistle. Mbappe and Muani would have been both through on goal. That is without a doubt one of the worst decisions I’ve seen in the last years.
Julian the better team won period. Mbappe is a “serial killer” of goals but there is a huge gap to a beginner killer of minnows the African guy with last name K (made penalty but that’s it). While Messi a 35 year old serial killer had another 35+ killer DiMaria and at least 6 other great awesome penalty killers
I think France missed Kante
Deschamps had to stop the bleeding before the third goal came or at least try to get things turned around. But he had to make more changes to really turn it around. 5 changes all together. Unsung workhorse for France….Adrien Rouboit
Julian, was it a penalty on DiMaria by Dembele? I’m asking because too many Argentina/Messi haters are saying it wasn’t a penalty
No one Is happier than me for you Messi not even you are happier than me
9:47 it was varane
The stadium is beautiful 😍
The ultimate perfect ending for the World Cup with 32 teams:
Greatest World Cup Finals ever.
Greatest World Cup ever in general.
More importantly, the greatest footballer of all time.
The Beautiful Game is live forever.
I hope the last two Champions Leagues before 36 teams in 2024-25 produced the same drama like the World Cup.
Messi plays more like requelme and inesta with his incision passes
Di Maria was the man of the match. He caused great problems on the front left and a penalty shot was awarded when he was moving to the net. And the 2nd goal by Di Maria was the finishing touch on an incredible combination of passes. When Di Maria left the field around the 65 minute, the game shifted towards France.
I do agree with Gab, this Argentina squad, individually on paper, they are really not the best in their clubs. However, they played very well. I was also questioning why Scaloni did not sub some fresh legs in there to control midfield. France made 4 and Argentina just 1. Messi lost the ball, and nobody could cover his back at that point.
If Otamendi should’ve been sent off, then Rabiot should have receives a red card as well.
Wow; DiMaria had a 96.4% Pass Accuracy; just WOW!!🔥💕🇬🇾
Did jules complain about the ref?? You slow mate?? Rabiot should have gone out on a red by 60th minute. The first french pen was a joke. French fans have nothing to complain about
Actually taking dembele off was a smart move. They would have conceded again if dembele kept playing
Enjoyed the commentary and analysis, and the final lesson, was really wonderful.. Very 🙂 nice
Gab is the most annoying person in the planet!
jules still about to cry the whole time😂
U guys r fabulous in recapturing all the key moments in this thrilling and the best World Cup Finals ever. Thx so much 💓
Argentina just was to much for this France team Dia meria is just a legend you can't stop him worst yet my goat messi 🍻🔥🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🔥😁🙏
Mbappe is out of this World.
ooh how sad juls, does the world cup fits in your back door ?? ……… I mean in your house you know. does it?
Gab is drunk again? What's going on with him lately? Why is he becoming an alcoholic? Please pay for his visit to a shrink.
How short is juls? Is he like 5 feet?
