While the World Cup final was on, Reynolds took to Twitter to express the burst of excitement that he had for the final. Everyone thought that it would be Messi’s last game in the Argentine colors. That took the stakes of the game even higher.
My god, #FIFAWorldCup. This game is a gorgeous, evil curse. I love it so much make it stop.

By the look of Reynolds’ tweet, he seems uncontrollably excited. He isn’t wrong, though. What seemed like a soccer match that was fading away from France with every minute passing by suddenly turned on its head. Argentina was in the driver’s seat for most of the game. It was only at the 80th-minute mark when the French super striker scored two goals in just two minutes for Les Bleus.

The game went to extra time, and both sides scored, canceling each other out again. The World Cup final couldn’t get any more thrilling as went to penalties. Les Bleus missed two out of their four penalty attempts and ended up losing that game. Messi went on to win the World Cup and capped off a legendary career.
