Qatar last evening left the entire world in awe, disbelief, and tears of joy, toward a man who changed the course and redefined the sport. Lionel Messi, who played the Soccer World Cup final for Argentina last evening, was excessively instrumental in Argentina’s win. And in accordance with the rest of the world, a large segment of the MLB World also responded to the fantastic finals, which extended to overtime and eventually reached the penalties as a result of Mbappe having an answer to every Argentia score.
Notably, it was Argentina’s 3rd ever World Cup trophy, which ended their 36-year of title drought. And with a spectacular performance in a nail-biting encounter against France, Messi probably put an end to a long-standing GOAT debate.
