We are talking about the best match ever.
For a game to qualify as the "best ever", there MUST be trading blows. And I don't mean like fistfights. I mean like end to end almost-goal action. And comebacks.
Which is exactly what happened in extra time. Twice. And plenty of chances gone amiss
NO one remembers a game that ended 1-0 with nothing else happening. Its not memorable
Even if its a final.
- AlbertCory 4y agothat's like, just your opinion, man. Please compare to every other World Cup final now. Even the ones before you were born. List them all here. OR : we can just agree that it was a great game.
- ofrzeta 4y agoIt's all about opinion, isn't it? Even if they compared yesterdays final to every other final in history there are still no objective criteria to judge.
- AlbertCory 4y agoRight. But at least they'd have to stop with the superlatives. I don't know if Messi is greater than Pelé or Maradona. Or if Muhammed Ali was greater than Joe Louis. They're all great.
- IG_Semmelweiss 4y agoactually, it'd be very very easy to measure with the right stat toolsets. Simply look at XG, progressive passing, even something as basic as chances created, and i bet you will see a marked difference with other finals. And I mean the numbers will be high, but critically, and -this is important- they will high numbers split between BOTH teams. I think stats will bear that out. Unf I don't have access to opta to get this info without paying. Usually in Extra time you have both teams playing conservative, OR 1 team chasing the win and the other holding for dear life. Yesterday both teams were out to hurt each other.
