He had earned his first cap with Argentina in 2005 and played in his first World Cup a year later. He played in more World Cup games than any man in history, and he came within a few minutes of winning the championship in 2014, but he went through four World Cup cycles without winning one. After a frustrating run of three lost finals in three years...
It is well premature to elevate Mbappe to the level of the sport's greatest players, but it is not too soon to point out he’s accomplishing things at his age that they did not — and that maybe he’s on a path to joining their exclusive club. He’s got more international goals at this age, 23, than Messi did. (And Messi's now third all-time). Maradona...
So many important games that finish tied in regulation begin to lag in the extra periods because the players are exhausted. This may be where the change in substitution rules has been good for the game, with both teams getting as many as five subs and a sixth if the game goes past regulation. There was more energy on the field as Argentina and Fran...

But France goalkeeper Lloris jumped and extended his left arm above his head to knock the ba...
It is not the ideal way to decide a champion, but it is a just way. The only element decided by a coin flip is which team will shoot first and which end of the field the shootout will take place. Each team gets the same chance to win or lose. And in only the third World Cup final shootout ever, there was pressure, and Argentina managed it beautiful...
When the Pittsburgh Steelers won Super Bowl 43, they did not score a single touchdown that could be celebrated immediately. Everything had to be checked through replay to see if the ball actually had crossed the goal line. You talk about delayed gratification. In this game, every penalty review was immediate. The goalline technology instantly told ...

FotMob.com listed Argentina with five "big chances" and France with three. Argentina took 20 shots, France 10. Argentina had to make 21 clearances, an...
One of the great players of the past two decades, Di Maria scored the winning goal in the Copa America final in 2021, earned 129 caps, and won La Liga and the Champions League with Real Madrid. He won five Ligue 1 titles with Paris Saint-Germain. He had played in 17 World Cup games and chased this World Cup nearly as long as Messi, and he was nearl...
When Messi scored in extra time and it looked like the World Cup was Argentina’s for sure, Di Maria could be seen on the bench in tears as he anticipated the trophy ceremony. And when Mbappe tied it, he was still crying and put a towel over his face to hide the disappointment. And then he got to experience the actual tears of joy when it was all ov...
