9 MONTHS 🌟 | FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 🇶🇦 | Final, ARG 🇦🇷 vs FRA 🇫🇷

[cloudsspoke]

Though the final match between Argentina versus France has been dubbed by the majority of people as the best World Cup Final, personally this is the best match throughout World Cup 2022, or more like, the most unforgettable one.

The altercation between players started after what Lea did to the Dutch’s bench. Things escalated quickly from that moment. It got worse because Lahoz gave them 10mins additional times and once it ended, the 2nd brawl happened almost instantly.

Dunno what the hell is wrong with that Bergwijn guy 💀🤬.

It’s a good thing Ota came right on time. It looks as if he noticed Bergwijn’s movement and Ota used his body as armor to protect his teammate from violent Bergwijn. We never know which player Bergwijn intended to hurt when he suddenly marched into the players’ mob like that (there’s Macca and Lea right there, Bergwijn proly wanted to hurt them).

This post is solely to capture the fight scenes, for the penalty shoot-out scenes read here.

The game ended after Lautaro successfully converted his penalty kick. The Dutch players got to see El General do this ‘Roman’ celebration right in front of their faces.

But the next fight happened exactly after that. Well, actually there are 2 fights happened at the same time.

Scene #1 was when Lahoz gave Dumpfries red card and Dybala was seen happily mocking Dumpfries. His mouth and his gesture showed that he told Dumpfries to go home. Dumpfries fumed and marched to probably kill Dybala, but Tagliafico shielded Dumpfries from doing that.

can someone tell me what Papu posted on his Instagram story that day 🤔?

Meanwhile, the other scene involved Noa Lang who pushed Paredes and Papu who pushed Lang back.

From this angle we can see how Tagliafico held Dumpfries off with all his might.

It’s a never-ending drama that we saw one after another. And again, in between Argies’ celebration, Messi came to Van Gaal and this whole thing happened:

I know we should respect the elder, with Van Gaal being the senior coach and all that, but at this moment, somos todos Rodrigo De Paul. I can imagine De Paul proly said: “Ay, señor this is what happens if you talk too much about us. See, now you make Leo angry. Jajaja~ Enjoy your exit, señor. Chao~”

And while Rodri loved every second of provoking Van Gaal, our Angelito came to pull Messi away from the altercation. He’s our MOM, okay? Fide is truly the MOTHER ANGEL 👼 of this chaotic group. First, he protected Enzo from Dumpfries, then protected Enzo from hearing DIbu’s cursing, and at last, when everyone tried to calm the shit out of Leo with no success, somehow as soon after Fide stepped in, just like that the altercation ended.

And of course, being such an Angel as he was, Fide took a moment to hug Frans Hoek 👼❤️♥️(The Dutch’s GK coach, who used to work with both Van Gaal and Fide in United)

Not only did Messi pay a ‘friendly’ visit to The Dutch’s bench, but our beloved Dibu too, this time we all could hear his direct message clearly.

Impressive.

My favorite moment?

It’s when Dibu joined his teammate’s celebration and half-joking cursed Enzo for his failed penalty attempt. Di Maria stood there watching that moment smiling, but he saved Enzo from Dibu’s wrath when Di Maria pulled Dibu into a hug, gave Enzo an exit to escape from Dibu.

Talk about La Scaloneta destined to be World Cup champion cuz it’s been written in the stars, there are 2 things I found that are interesting from this match against Nederland.

First, when Lahoz yellow-carded Gonza for protesting just 3 minutes after Gonza came to the pitch to replace Molina. That yellow card banned Gonza from playing in the next game, in case the Argies advanced to the Semifinal round. But that didn’t stop him from executing the penalty kick.

With his success, along with Leo’s, Lea’s, and Lautaro’s, La Scaloneta did advance to the next round, where they won easily against Croatia, and Gonza was benched without major problems. Meanwhile, during Argies’ last, final game against France when the victory had to be determined through a penalty shoot-out, we got him ready, unpunished, and he did his job well once again.

*

And then we have Dybala 💎. People have been asking and waiting for when he will play. His chance came to light with Argentina’s victory over Nederland. Fun fact, his first-ever World Cup debut was in 2018, the same game against Croatia when he came to sub Tevez, only this time the Argies won 3-0 and advanced to the final.

And as we all know, in the Final match Scaloni put him in to prepare La Joya to take part in the penalty shoot-out. He didn’t waste that chance. He helped Argies to get the World Cup trophy, despite only playing for no less than 20mins throughout the whole tournament.

The reason why I mentioned Dybala in this post is because of what he revealed later that he remembered what Dibu said to Enzo: "kick the ball to the center". I can say that Enzo’s failure during the match against Nederland somehow helped La Joya to convert his kick successfully.

If you think the drama between Argentina players and The Dutch ended on the field, nope. It continued even during the post-match interview session.

Dibu, they hear you: Lahoz announced retirement and Van Gaal too.

🇦🇷✨🏆

📊 Crazy stats for Gonzalo Montiel:

15 penalty kicks and never missed a single one 🥶

[holdmyhopeinyourhands]

Montiel conceding that heartbreaking penalty and thinking he cost Angentina everything just for Montiel to then be the one to score that last penalty in the shootout to win Argentina the world cup. You can't write this kind of fairytale.

[cloudsspoke]

First of all, I don't know just how far a Goalie can do dirty tricks during a penalty shoot-out before the Referee books them with a card. If throwing/kicking the ball away, or randomly asking for a handshake all being done to disrupt the opponent are okay, why then both Lloris and this 🇳🇱 Goalie (Noppert) didn't do it toward the Argentina squad when that’s exactly the thing Dibu did to their teammates 🤔

p.s: credit for this 🇳🇱 player because Dibu failed in distraughting him  (ft. creepy pyscho smile of Dibu that terrified the shit out of me)

The things that I did notice is funny how the one who did the intimidation was the 🇳🇱 players. Here Fide ran right away to guard Enzo from the 🇳🇱 player, while Dibu helped Enzo by making sure the ball was ready for him after fought for it when Weghorst tried to snatch the ball from Dibu's hands (during the Final against France, Dibu did the same to Lea), for me it’s a little gesture but meaningful what Dibu did to them.

Again, several 🇳🇱 players tried to intimidate Lauti, but the Scaloneta guys knew very well that Lauti won't get affected by it (unlike how so protective Fide toward Enzo), but Ota was split second ready to protest/defend Lauti but got back to his position when he saw the referee about to book the 🇳🇱 player. And at last!, Noppert tried to intimidate Lauti but who the fuck he tried to kid? He should do that from the start ever since Dibu blocked Virgil’s. Now it’s just too late for toying the ball cuz he's helpless against Lauti who coldly pushed him back before El Toro even pushed the ball right to his face. 

The rest is history 😂 Ota mocked the Flying Dutchman squad is exactly what they deserved.

And big mad props to Messi who was the only player who ran toward Dibu while all the players ran for Lauti.

And for the record, we probably should thank 🇳🇱 goalie for being so generous (or naïve?) toward the La Scaloneta squad because he did no such a thing as play with the ball to taunt 🇦🇷 player (did it to Lauti, but again, too late), nor he did help his own teammate when it's their turn to kick because after Messi, Lea, Montiel, and Enzo took the shot, Dibu took the ball and that’s how Dibu got a chance to show his ‘mind games’ toward the 🇳🇱 player 😂

the end.
