I’m not a huge fan of the “this is all on this one man” thing, but even I have to admit that was pretty amazing.

Great game. Well played. Argentina (not just Messi, either, despite the narrative) thoroughly deserved to win.

Fuck Infantino, though. And fuck Macron. Both looked like utter fools on that stage, during the presentations.

And for all manner of reasons, I’m glad that France, and indeed Mbappe, could not get it done, today.

So yeah, aside from like, an entirely new winner of the World Cup, this was probably the best possible result. Good shit.

If we actually make it to 2026, I’ll be impressed to see North America top all of this, today and throughout the tournament itself.
