Lionel Messi STORYLINES! The most EPIC World Cup Final ever? | ESPN FC Extra Time 

If Messi wins this world cup then there will be fairytales written for him. He will go down as the absolute legend. A romantic story that will pass from generation to generation.

Leo getting the perfect farewell from football. Golden boot, golden ball and the World Cup

I wanna look back 50 years from now and tell my grandchildren about the wonder story of a hero named Messi

Lionel Messi, the greatest there was, there is and there will be 🇦🇷

No matter what happens in the final, Messi has cemented himself as the greatest player ever. We may never seen anyone like him ever again. Thank you Leo 🐐

Lionel Messi is the story of a professional footballer who never gives up in the struggle of life. The mentality of repeatedly saying goodbye to the national team and turning around again brought Messi to the final of the World Cup in Qatar today. Lionel Messi is the only one fit for the World Cup

Winning the final of a knockout tournament depend hugely on luck.. so even if messi cannot exactly win the finals, just reaching the finals of a world cup 2 times, and finals of a copa america 3 times(winning it 1s) clearly shows how great messi is...judging the greatness of an individual player based on his teams achievements doesn't exactly do him justice... the amount of awards, especially man of the match he received individually better shows how good a player is.

No mention of the huge advantage Argentina will have in crowd support for the final. That stadium will be rocking in sky blue and white. Good luck to both teams, may the best Messi win.🇦🇷🐐🇦🇷

I pray that Messi will put his hands on the trophy 🏆 in the ultimate game...leave everything on the pitch Argentines. Play it like your last football match on the planet.

Who will win it? 🧠 - France ♥ - Argentina

Battle of the dreams Battle for pride vs revenge Battle for a fairytale ending

Argentina 🇦🇷 Messi for the 🏆, all the best!!.

Messi winning the World Cup in his last one and leaving with the golden boot and player of the tournament would be the most perfect ending to a World Cup run in history. Praying every morning and night right up until the World Cup that he wins it. Idgaf about the golden boot or anything as long as he secures the World Cup I’ll have the perfect year 🙏🏽

To me Lionel Messi does not need to win this to be a legend. But he really really wants it for himself and his people so I hope he does win it.

He will go God mode that's for sure... We will see the Messi which we are known for that's for sure ...

These guys are my absolute favorite thank god for ESPN FC

Italy in 06 is good considering calciopoly..Spain's is just dominating in a different level..Germany win over Argentina in 1990 was nice considering the semifinal Italy vs Argentina..

France have reached 4/7 finals from 1998 to 2022. Great stuff👍

It's going to be a epic final and the cherry on top for messi and argentina good luck for both teams on Sunday vamos argentina!!!!!!!!

If u mark messi he will assist ,if u don't he will score just goat

Thank God you uploaded it finally !

Messi MAGIC in the final, like FINALISSIMA !!

These guys are hilarious. Pure passion and friendship gotta love it.

I don’t even like the Argentinian team, but Messi is overdue. What’s right is right. I wouldn’t mind seeing him finally get the chance to lift up the World Cup 👏🏼

The time has come to announce the winner ... It's Argentina 3 France 1.

I'm loving the fast uploading ☺️

This game will be historic

Frank is right this is the biggest final since 2006 or maybe 1998, 2006 because the teams Italy and France had it was just legendary and we already knew at the time thats what was special about it and they performed. Same goes for Brazil vs France the battle of Ronaldo vs Zidane I mean thats as good as it gets France winning at home gheeze those lived up to expectations.

I Would Say The Best World Cup Final Was Of 2002, The Best Offensive Team Brazil Vs The Best Defensive Germany. The Hype That Was Built For Ronaldo(R9) Facing Off Against Oliver Kahn, The Best Striker Vs The Best Goalkeeper Of That World Cup. Even The Referee Was A Legend...

In our generation, Messi is the greatest soccer player of all time, and some of us Messi fans don't care if he wins the World Cup or not, Messi is still the best and the greatest of all time

Everyone wants Messi to lift the 2022 world cup, I think we'd never had a player as loved and admired as Messi (like Dinho) by worldwide fans, it says a lot about his character.

its been 20yrs since i watch LaLiga matches. that Barca team of 17yo Messi, Deco, Ronaldinho...good times. ive always said he's not GOAT yet UNTIL he gets the WC.

I facking love you guys!! great banter, great commentary!

I swear Mpappe and Dembele are so fast. 2 of the fastest players in the world

Messi is humble, full of integrity, high morals and values: not to mention talented

This panel bring so much joy

I hope that God will make the best and most fair outcome. Messi deserves to lift the trophy. Messi's haters deserve to be humbled. 🙏

1986, 1994, 2006 and 2014 were superb finals that I watched, this 2022 final game looks promising

Messi is going to become imortal with this match.

who ever wins in this final, it will definitely age well in the future and it will be an ICONIC final.

If Messi wins this World Cup he’ll have the best and greatest sport story of all time. There will be so many series written about him

We have been grown following the Best. The young guys must support the elder or the best in your domain

Love what y’all are doing at ESPN! Even tho IMO AGUEROOOOOOOO is my 🐐 and forever will be in my eyes, Messi will also always, always come right after and to me be the best footballer ever. We will never see anything like him again

Every year or every final.. “is this the best final ever?, is this the best goal ever? The best final ever!!!” This needs to stop

I gotta say of all the people I been watching in Spanish and English, these people are my favorite yo watch

Vamos Argentina 🇦🇷 🙏🤲☝💙❤🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

gonna be praying for messi

I love Stevie ALSO

Argentina gonna win it, the history is written already

ESPN FC = MESSI FC lol they give messi a gold star for participation.. lmao it’s hilarious, it’s like messi is a 4 year old kid, they blow everything out of proportion

Vamos Argentina🇦🇷

Yessss! My tweet made it to the show. But why are they not showing names this time.

Frank looking like Michael corleone in Italy

Argentina 1-3 France 🇫🇷

It’s funny how short our memories are and how pundits forget when Messi publicly criticized Barcelona toward the end of his time there

Spain winning on 2010 didn’t elevate any Barcelona player over Messi at that time

"The most epic World Cup final ever", UNTIL THE NEXT ONE!😳😳😳

There is never a fairy tale ending. Not when your opposition has Mbappe. The legendary Ronaldo9 agrees that Mbappe is his reincarnation and some more.

2002 final......one of the best

Looks like you guys forgot to upload it yesterday

On time today I see

How do I ask questions for extra time?

Your pace only last long, let's there is a time, that is hamstrings injury.

3:42 CRAIG KNOWS USA!

Why not showing the names of people who sent the questions ???

I knew you wouldn’t get 10 seconds in without commenting on franks vest. As soon as I saw him

In the Netherlands almost everyone hates Messi. I am also from the Netherlands but i love Messi.

Merry Christmas Leo Sunday lets Rock the World wide many haters going to sleeping

2-1 Argentina - Di Maria goal in extra time

Win or not , Messi for sure will be hailed as the Goat in football history

If I was Argentina coach I would start my 3 best center backs and play 5 3 2

Seriously, why does no one mention about Mbappe that football isn't the IAAF. Everyone knows Mbappe is fast, but on the ball, that speed is only usable in very limited conditions, so people are hardly going to give him that. There'll be a covering defender to take the ball if he kicks it ahead, teams will drop deep with no space in behind, they literally have to be a team chasing a game like Morocco to afford Mbappe the runway he needs, and besides, who'd say give them space, Let's see who wins the 1v1 race.

Ale with his happy meal watch and walmart shoes insulting Frank's vest...please.

What ever the out come I am backing the team that I have always backed every world cup Argentina. Even if he doesn't win the world cup he is the goat to me.

Wait till the result of Sunday before making any extravagant claims guys. Please thank you

Bonjour Franck tu es formidable ! :)

Messi and Argentina did it🐐😤😎!!!

We will be witnessing the future in speed demon verse wisdomised foot of the Goat.

I tot the most anticipated final is argentina vs portugal

Messi🇦🇷

i want argentina defence to be up to par

Messi , Di Maria , Alverez , Depaul an others not mentioned needs to attack in the box as soon as the whistle blows , an every chance they get force the France team to commit errors. Don't allow the France back three or four players to be comfortable knocking the ball around in there half of the field. Then feeding Ball to Bembele , Griezman, Giroud, Mbappe to come in the left or right wing and long ball in over the top. An avoid getting caught off guard with counter attack , break away plays where you are hustling to get back to settled and defend in front of goal in your half of the field . like they did in the game against Morocco.

Always Messi is the best no doubt in that. If Messi wins this world all will keep mouth shut. I am waiting for that moment.

france vs argentina 2018 world cup may have been the best game of the tournament

The coach of Argentina needs to also advice is team to try an not commit any foul in or close around the box . Best of luck to team Argentina an they all need to keep a level head. I forget to mention Argentina needs to try an not be losing the ball too easy like they did in the game against Croatia.

did they forget to upload this lmao

What ever happens Sunday it wont change people opinion..Who dont like him now wont like him after.And who loves him now continue.

The best of South America, versus the best of Africa. Let's do this

The fact that people are questioning the fact that Mbappe will kick Messi out of PSG is CRAZY (I get most of it is sacrcasm but i wouldn't be surprised if people actually question that)

Only children can tell that someone is the best ever,only one..there's not such a thing like the best ever

Who is here after the WC Final? Epic indeed.

Argentina 3 - 0

No disrespect to Morocco 🇲🇦 or 🇦🇷,but finals was already played with England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 vs France 🇫🇷.everything after that was just a freestyle,so we just had freestyle Wednesday now look out for freestyle Sundays.

People like to downplay Mbappe's achievements. "At 22 Messi won his 1st ballon d'or" but Mbappe is doing very good. He could be 2 time worldcup(B2B) winner at 23

Craig looks and acts like the grinch

After Zidane vs Ronaldo 1998

Portugal vs Argentina would have been Epic

I kind don’t want Messi to when. He already is the greatest. He don’t need this to prove anything. I think mbappe has more to prove with the final.

Even if Messi loses. He hast to be greater than Ronaldo for having more goals and finals appearances in the World Cup than Ronaldo. I can’t believe I have to admit this. But he has to win to be the goat for me. And this Mbappé’s chance to be on the talking side as the becoming a goat. So many story lines!

Give me the Messi tears lol
