Such an accomplishment only losing 6-4 to England.

Amazing world cup performance on the level of Bam Adebayo scoring 83 points vs the Wizards

Messi has had 2 goals in 4 knockout games.

He had 6 against the worst group in World Cup history.

Spain is a fortress on D they play keep away and have given up one goal in 8 games lol.

I can see him getting one tomorrow but the only way he gets two would be FIFtArds gifting VARgentina multiple penalty shots.

As much as I love the WC, the fact there is a consolation game with many backups playing is gay AF.

Hope Messi gets the hat trick and goes out with an FU.

Those backups dwarf the quality of the group stage opponents Messi padded his totals on

In a just world, Mbappe wins the honor

I usually don't care much about the 3rd place game but that one today was fun as hell.

I hope you are joking.


There were no stakes, that's why 10 goals were scored.

If they were playing this game for the ship it would've probably been 1-1 and went to PKs.

Thats why everyone knows its a joke

It was but the goals and assists scored should not be Golden Boot eligible is all....

Shocking Mbappe only scored 2 when England ran the game with reserves no Pickford, no Kane, and no Bellingham till the end.

I quite enjoyed it.

It’s exactly what a high quality exhibition should be. You could tell both sides kinda got pulled into an actual battle towards the end there. Nobody was going studs up but they both wanted to actually win within the confines of not trying to take anyone’s legs out.

It’s most goals in the tournament, the rules haven’t changed. Why would a hat trick in the group stage against Curaçao count but against a team that lost in the semis, not? Getting the same amount of games is a reward for making the semi’s.

If they wanted a point system where goals counted differently in each stage that would be cool, but I feel like this is something only people that put money on care about.
