Enjoy the match,maybe,b ut the sheik refused to shake hands with a reserve referee afterwards.

And notice,no western Monarch nor Royal attended throughout this WC...wonder why that was...

But,I have to say I admired Morocco for getting so far...and they should have gotten that penalty yesterday!!..

 

[W.Y.CII]

What a match! I'm not the fans of Argentina or France but it's a really amazing final, probably one of the greatest one of history.

 

[Duke of Marmalade]

Well deserved for Messi, one of the greatest players ever (only Ronaldo won't be happy about him lifting the cup I guess).
I felt sorry for him being hijacked by Infantino and the sheik, who draped a tradional cloak over him. Messi desperately wanted to get back to his team, he clearly looks uncomforable in the situation. I guess the Kataris wanted one last PR coup as the first pictures lifting the cup show Messi wearing the bisht before he could get rid of it.
