What’s the difference between a French woman and a hockey player?

A hockey player will shower after 3 periods.

Argentina used to have a sizable black population but then adopted in their constitution a policy favoring European immigration which led to an influx of white immigrants.

Many French people are upset that the National team is dominated by black players.

Hoping Argentina wins, Messi should have a World Cup on his resume.

Rooting for Messi as well. Didn't see either of the two semifinal games but saw the highlights. That near bicycle kick goal by the Morocco player today would've been an incredible goal. The timing alone was impressive but then to hit it with such power and accuracy while just missing off the post was brutal luck.

The Moroccans aren’t handling this too well in France….

If the result stays the same today, where does Messi rank on the GOAT list?

It's always fascinating to see how patient and calm Messi is with the ball. Everyone else always looks rushed, especially in the scoring box. Messi on the other hand, just takes his time and sets teammates up or puts a good shot on goal. Love watching him play. Hope Argentina can finish it off!

He's the best player in this era and imo the GOAT already. But it's over such a large body of work and career achievements that I don't think this single game changes that one way or the other. I just think it's fitting that he gets to lift the World Cup like Maradonna did. Two best players to ever play the game imo.

Yep, it's like Brady and Manning playing QB. Calm, composed, in control and clinical.

True haha. Funny to think that the most famous goal in the history of the sport would never have counted if they had VAR back then.
