What a world cup final!
Sunday December 18, the second largest country of south America met France
the 3rd largest country of Europe. The two players that football fans had focused on the most
Lionel Messi of Argentina, 35 years of age and Kylian Mbappe of France age 23 with the
assistance of their respective teammates, they have spectacularly delivered a remarkable
world cup final. They are adorably dangerous; I mean they are superb and fun to watch.
But this is football, and this is the world cup final, therefore there must be a winner.
Thus, after an amusingly tense 90 minutes with a score 3-3 plus another 30 minutes, the game
came to the shoutout mode.
As a final result, Argentina won the 2022 cup on penalty kicks, or you if you prefer, the shoutouts
favored Messi over Mbappe this time. Congratulation to Lionel Messi and his teammates.
And of course, congratulation to Mbappe and his teammates [les bleus].
