Red card after the game for attacking celebrating players??? Disgraceful behaviour & total lack of sportsmanship from Argentina. Congratulations Spain.

"I found myself in a bottomless pit and I could not see a way out. ... That was the moment when I decided to work with a psychologist. I lost my confidence. Everything was affecting me."
From the lowest of lows in football to scoring the goal to win his nation the World Cup.
What a career journey for Ferran Torres

Since 2018, Kylian Mbappé has not kept any of his match fees from playing for France.
Every appearance fee and bonus is donated in full to charities supporting hospitalised children, struggling families, or those responsible for the security of the France team.
Mbappé donated €300,000 after France’s 2018 World Cup triumph.
He also fully covered the medical treatment of a Mauritanian baby and gave more than €180,000 in 2023 to staff members and police officers who protect Les Bleus.

Also the first team to hold both the men’s and woman’s World Cup at the same time
Argentina's goalkeeper is....... WOW!!
Emiliano Martínez has just made FIFA World Cup Final history!
The Argentina goalkeeper produced 9 saves against Spain - the most ever by a goalkeeper in a FIFA World Cup Final.
A truly legendary performance on the biggest stage, keeping Argentina in the fight with one incredible save after another.

And as expected , Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon tried to kidnap the presentation !He must have been locked in a cupboard most of his junior life, his attention seeking behaviour is off the charts.Please “remove” him, he makes me feel sick.
At least the mutual love-in between him and the FIFA president is over, thank goodness.
PS Viva Espana, well deserved winners but the Argies game plan was pretty weird.
Maybe they were waiting for their preferential treatment to kick in but thankfully it didn’t.
Now a few weeks freshen up ready for the Premier League!

The bronze medal game between England and France was 100% better than the very boring final.
Purists will claim it's because "you don't know anything about football" but it's better to watch players actually playing football to constantly committing fouls and diving to gain free kicks, when every challenge could technically earn a free kick. When did grabbing another player's shirt become legal??

Does that now automatically become the new World rankings, or is there seperate criteria ?
