It was a great final, exciting and fun to watch, at least towards the end. As a World Cup edition, though, I found it a disappointing one. It might be that the unusual season when it was played made physical skills more important than usual, not sure. It was difficult to find good, modern football though (beside maybe with Brazil, but they self sabotaged them in a few minutes folly). In general, it seemed that the whole world wanted Messi to win and we eventually had that.

The fact that the two (possibly three) top players of the tournament played for the same club is something to ponder about I feel.

This World Cup has seen some of the best football for decades. It helps that the players aren’t knackered after a full season.
