Am sure that if someone came and told you that you obtained your degrees and certificates by fraud...you would deny it. You worked hard for it.

So also did Messi and the argentine team. They won because they worked their asses off, spent time away from their familes, woke up at 3 am in the morning just to run 15 miles before the sun rises because coach says they slow, avoid eating and drinking certain foods that you enjoy well because the team nutritionist suddenly woke up and said that if they eat one grain of rice, their performance will diminish by 20%, and in some instances had to move away from what they knew because 'carreer'.

Argentina won because they were the best side.

Before you start, I am not an Argentina fan, all my fave countries did not even reach semifinal. And I am not into penaldo vs messi because soldier come, soldier go, barracks remain.

You mean the staged tournament?

Never before had a team been awarded so many penalties at a WC. Always at key moments. Always controversial. No red cards despite being a volatile, combative team. Officials rarely penalised clinical fouls. Often the opponent destabilised after having such decisions against.

I love your tears bro... Cry harder

Going into the tournament there was a wave of support and a bandwagon for Messi to win the WC. It even played in the minds of opposition players who had been fed the narrative LM has to be a Champion or it upsets everyone. The propaganda was unavoidable as it was everywhere.

There's a rule which states Messi cannot be booked, let alone sent off. Yet any contact in winning a ball against Messi is a foul. A firm challenge will be cautioned. Etc. The most protected player ever. Because of this figure referees were reluctant to make calls against Argentina.

During the tournament Messi shamelessly dived, feigned injury; belittled and disrespected players and coaches right infront of them. LVG is an old man who had radiation therapy for cancer. He chanted radical songs in dressing room. Moaned at referees.

Yet never any criticism.

Argentina's incredible penalty shootout victory over France in the World Cup Final was the most watched men's soccer game in the United States.

Lionel Messi and Co., who returned home Tuesday, overcame the defending champions 4-2 on penalty kicks following a breathtaking 3-3 draw after 120 minutes on Sunday.

And 25.78 million viewers tuned into the thrilling encounter in the United States as 16.78m watched FOX Sports' coverage while nine million fixed their eyes on the spectacle via Telemundo, streamed on Peacock.

Prior to Sunday's showdown, Brazil's penalty shootout win over Italy in the 1994 World Cup was the most watched men's soccer match in America with 14.5m people taking it in.

They do. Fox has channels that show the EPL in the US, and other big European leagues. The MLS, the US domestic league, also has a large fanbase, and their matches can be watched on ESPN.

It's not like the 1980's when things were at an all time low. Hosting the 1994 world cup helped. A lot. Also, building a player base for the game from the roots up too was good.
