Long live Argentina!

The match was epic, perhaps the most exciting World Cup final in history. It was several games in one, the kind of match that saddens us because it ends with a winner decided by penalties, a unique test of nerves and heart for Argentinians, French, and anyone from anywhere on Earth, including Brazil.

Argentina dominated France in the first half, displaying a dominance reminiscent of France's own performance against Brazil in 1998. The second half seemed uneventful; a lucky shot or a fluke could change the game, something unlikely up to that point in the 35th minute.

Football has a magic that defies logic, much less Paulo Vinicius Coelho's statistics; it's not about objectivity or coldness, it's about heart and a breath, and everything changes. Mbappé hadn't done anything in 80 minutes, but he's a genius, not to be underestimated. Two goals, one spectacular, and the maturity of the greats when he scored from the penalty spot—a superstar, without a doubt.

The final minutes of the match were filled with tension and fear for Argentina, just like the first 15 minutes of extra time. The second half was absolutely electrifying; Messi scored again, and so did Mbappé—it was a duel of geniuses, of men above the rest.

The penalty shootout was Martinez's epic moment, which astonished the French, the Argentinians' composure contrasting sharply with the CRAZY Martinez, who had secured the match by saving the final shot in the 123rd minute.

The emotion of the Argentinian fans, who pushed their team forward, cried, cheered, and didn't give up for a single minute.

Congratulations to our brothers. Long live Messi, the greatest of all, the genius, undeniable for eternity.
