Mind games. It does kinda blow my mind that at this level they don't just put it through the mesh of the top corner.

Game went from a potential dud where only one side showed up, to one of the best ever.

Is that a hard shot to place? It seems like an automatic goal since the keeper dives on a guess before the shot is even released

Oh ffs sakes. Not only have tsn declared this the greatest game ever played but now Messi is the greatest athlete in history? Good lord. Best final ever, sure. But that’s not even close to the greatest soccer game ever.

I ####ing LOVE this game. Cannot WAIT until 2026 - telling my office I'm working out of the Toronto studio that month, haha.

The only reason more players don't shoot up the middle because it looks stupid if you miss.

How is that not close to the greatest game ever? Considering the circumstances, I think it was.

You guys sound like neutral NHL fans who cheer for the Oilers because it would “be a shame” if McDavid didn’t get a Cup.

Iginla too

Plenty of neutral fans cheer for great players to win a Cup at the end of their career.... why not?

Well if we’re now adding qualifiers, then I’m sure we could find a way. Otherwise, no it was not.

Except this is an international competition…

If there's one change to the rules that would benefit the game, it's post game video review to award cards for diving.

If there's two changes, the second I'd make is backing the penalty spot up a yard or so. PKs have a bit too much influence.

Circumstances count. Sure there was maybe a better game in the EPL in a middle of the table battle with nothing on the line once upon a time…

Circumstances matter.

Ya they do. But what does that have to do with a mid table game in the EPL? Pointing out there there have been thousands of boring meaningless games doesn’t prove your point.

[Muta]

I've played and watched soccer my whole life, this is the best game I've ever seen IMO. Some of y'all need to just enjoy the moment, the story and adrenaline in this match does not get better than this.

[MillerTime GFG]

Huh? I pointed out there was maybe a more exciting game in the EPL. Proved my point perfectly.

I take it you’re not a football fan.

[powderjunkie]

I stopped watching at '75 because I was neglecting my parenting too much. So you're all welcome.

(I did tune back in at '85 when I saw the score on my phone.
