Argentina just beat Spain at the 2026 World Cup final, 3-2.

6/10

[ganesh @breathMessi21]

Rate this Lamine performance out of 10.

[C. @HTCruijff]

@MagicOfBarca I think his intention was to keep the ball and waste the remaining time - failed miserably.

[C. @HTCruijff]

One thing I’ve realised that I am only emotionally connected to the team for whom Messi plays, otherwise results hardly bothers me.

[C. @HTCruijff]

Olmo and Cubarsi, the best Barca players in this World Cup.

[C. @HTCruijff]

Pedri should be in his peak, but seeing him this way is sad.

[C. @HTCruijff]

MERINOOOO

[C. @HTCruijff]

Messi in the place of Lamine and that would’ve been an easily goal.

[C. @HTCruijff]

This has been his problem since day 1.

[Monzi [cvg] @MagicOfBarca]

The thing I hate about Pedri is how nonchalant he can be. Just make the pass instead of holding on to the ball and slowing the play down EVERY TIME

[C. @HTCruijff]

Cubarsi is Pique’s regen maybe even better at going for those precise passes.

[C. @HTCruijff]

Iniesta-esque

[Football Performances @FCPerformances]

Dani Olmo..

Lamine sometimes gives the Ronaldinho impression intertwined with Neymar.

[C. @HTCruijff]

Lamine if he adds a bit of goal scoring precision. He’ll be unstoppable.

[C. @HTCruijff]

Lamine is 🔥

[C. @HTCruijff]

Beautiful dribble from Yamal.

[C. @HTCruijff]

What a ball from Yamal that lead to the goal of Fabian Ruiz.

[C. @HTCruijff]

Messi vs Mbappe holds for the older version of Messi and specifically in the national team context, but prime one is simply incomparable.

[H 5.0 @hoorfromheaven]

It should’ve always been Messi vs Mbappe not Messi vs Ronaldo.

The only true valid comparison at this point.

[C. @HTCruijff]

Now amount of pattern recognition can make you smart.

I just submitted an op-ed on this to Washington Post, discussing how technology cannot substitute human accountability. We must have transparency, or all the new rules and reviews create more opportunities for interference. With all due respect to one of the best referees in history I have to confront this assessment. It was technically BEFORE the goal in absolute time but not IMMEDIATELY before. It's quite a stretch of the normal logic to directly connect an accident near the goal area of one team to the action on the opposite side of the field. And since there was no arbiter's whistle to stop the game (wrong decision, agreed!), this violation cannot justify the decision to disallow the goal. And regarding the second incident in question, you are again correct stating that there was no violation of the rules against Salah, but this conclusion is reached after careful examination of the video footage from various angles. The referee during the game could not instantly verify it and considering the similarities of these two cases HAD to go to the monitor to confirm the assessment. By not doing so he simply reiterated our understanding that the game is being run by anonymous partisans behind the screens.

@socraticjuan Had it been today, It would’ve been far more demanding experience. Today, things are far worse.
