i usually watch world cup. haven't watched too much this year though as I just didn't have time. i do plan on watching the finals today even though I don't care about either team. it's more fun when it is a team i can root for, like Germany or by some miracle USA ever makes it to the finals. the captain of the USA team is a local guy. went to the same high school i did and graduated with some of my friends kids

I always watch it.
My teams (England, Wales, Canada, USA) have all been eliminated, so I'll be watching the final game somewhat dispassionately.

Never a fan, but my best friend from 3rd grade and his parents are. He was born in Argentina, his Mom is Italian and his Dad is from Paraguay. Things got interesting at their crib when the World Cup came around. I may or may not be making a call to Buenos Aires after today's game.

It looks like you will, assuming it would be congratulatory in nature. If you're the "na-na-na-na-boo-boo" type of friend, then you won't be making the call.

I'd take a bullet for that guy. Call made.

great game. started out slow the first half but man, France came back strong. admittedly i was falling asleep but the over time quarters, but still a great game

Messi is now forever cemented as Ronaldo’s daddy forever and ever.

What a game…contender for best Final ever.

Kudos to France for making Argentina sweat. Mbappe is arguably the best player just starting his prime.

But as soon as overtime ended in a tie, 3-3, and penalties were next, I knew Argentina was going to win. They are just unbeatable in penalties. I believe they have the best winning percentage.

Argentina is not crying. Argentina is celebrating…

Congrats also to Croatia for finishing third…and Morocco fourth.

You cared just enough to post this thread…

Anyway, soccer is low paid. No one wants the paltry money that’s offered in soccer…

I watch a little of the MLS but it’s mostly just the local team Revolution when they play.

The World Cup is on a completely different level, the best players in the world from their country
you can see the difference in style and skill, and I must say the most colorful and passionate fans of any sport.

I do follow the World Cup, watched a few games, I thought France would repeat as champs
after they defeated England, the championship game against Argentina was pretty amazing, the OT and it having to come down to the penalty free kicks.

Hella World Cup Final!

Congrats to Argentina, world champion. Messi!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kudos to France too…Mbappe is a bad man.
