The nature of the final means everyone who witnessed it will also feel a sense of belonging to the occasion, cherishing a game of football that delivered all of the emotions that define life itself, and make it worth living.
No judgement here if you’ve already forgotten about it.
Modern football is smothered by hyperbole but France and Argentina genuinely served up a sporting classic that should be treasured and talked about for generations.Not least the goal that was being hailed by some – Liam Brady among them – as the greatest ever scored in a final.It came in the 36th minute, and it all began with a dreadful loose ball.
The Brighton midfielder has already checked over his shoulder to know that Aurielen Tchouameni is closing him down from behind and that Antoine Griezmann is ready to pounce only a few feet in front. That creates space for Alvarez on the left and his first-time through ball is a simple one for Mac Allister, the midfielder continuing his involvement by refusing to sit and admire his earlier piece of skill and running off the shoulder of Tchouameni.
