Argentina’s win on penalty kicks, after the game ended 3-3 in 120 back-and-forth minutes, is being hailed widely as the best World Cup final ever.
Not just the most entertaining, but historically significant too, for its statement about the statures of Argentina’s Lionel Messi and France’s Kylian Mbappé .
“The brilliance of Messi and Mbappé, the emergence of young stars like England midfielder Jude Bellingham, the level of excellence from the tournament’s opening whistle to the last penalty kick Sunday, gave FIFA and their Qatari hosts just what they wanted: a month-long, can’t take your eyes off it diversion from the corruption that led to Qatar’s selection, the thousands of workers who died building stadiums and other venues, and Qatar’s abysmal human rights record,” Scott writes.
It will all be different from when the United States hosted the World Cup for the first time in 1994, Brazil defeating Italy at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena in the first final decided by penalty kicks.
