Discussion
mikem1739: Messi missing that penalty against egypt and then scoring 3 goals in the last 13 minutes anyway is one of the most Messi things ive ever seen
TiredMango70: Rodri winning best player while spain won it playing basically zero risk football says everything about how spain actually won this
SilentWizard: Lamine Yamal doing the euro and world cup double at 19 is actually absurd, kid is ahead of schedule for goat conversations already
weird_biscuit: Unai simon conceding one goal the entire tournament is genuinely one of the best goalkeeping runs ive ever seen
quiet_pickle: haaland got knocked out early again, dude just cant get past the rounds that matter
SpicyBiscuit: mbappe winning back to back golden boots and still not winning a world cup is such a weird legacy to have
