There may never have been a better soccer (or futbol, if you prefer) match ever played. Considering the moment, the stakes, the stars involved, Argentina’s Word Cup Final win over France on penalty kicks might have to go down as the greatest match ever.
Like billions around the globe, NBA players such as LeBron James and Trae Young were caught up in the World Cup excitement and they took to Twitter to express it — and there is a lot of Lionel Messi love. As there should be.
Two of the greatest ever!! Let’s go 🔥⚽️🏆 @FIFAWorldCup @cryptocom pic.twitter.com/ZaTHm3LVGx

Joe Mazzulla just finished watching the #WorldCup final and said, "For a game to go down like that and to watch two superstars ... I thought it was just cool to see the passion and the execution. It was fun."
