People are always gonna say things directly after such an event. Once the dust settles, most will agree it was one of the best WC finals ever and will likely be in a top 10 of cup finals ever. So it's hard to say that it is being overrated.
In terms of the best football match ever, it's not close.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Have to applaud your effort in monitoring the 1000s of cup finals around the world every year for the last god knows how many years to be able to arrive at that assertion.
I do have a teensy bit of doubt though that the 'most others' you are sure to agree with you will all have had that same dedication to keeping abreast of global football finals but let's not let that detract from what is no doubt an air of excitement that you have just experienced.

Hibs v Rangers Scottish Cup final was better
I hadn't seen anyone say it was the best game ever before looking at this thread.
Was the best world cup final I've seen for sure
Everything is overrated now. Fickle nature of football fans nowadays
Last 10 mins and extra time were exciting. Thats as far as it goes.

Due to the internet, everything has to be the best ever or worst ever. And that can change during a match as well. Can go from being the best team of all time when 2-0 up to a team in crisis if it gets back to 2-2.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Best comment ever
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I remember a better comment before the internet was a thing
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You probably only saw about four comments of that commenter back in the day. I produce world class comments week in week out. Not just at a comment competition held every four years. Maybe if you read my comments every day you'd realise that they're the GOAT comments.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Your comments only get so much attention because you have people fawning over your average comments on a daily basis, people coming out with crap like Barry singlehandedly keeps this site going, so sheep start to believe it, I’m not saying your comments aren’t decent but pre internet comments were better imo
The desperation of people to pretend they weren’t impressed by something is absolutely staggering
Probably not the greatest ever but you do have to take into account the context and it being the biggest game on the planet. The Messi element, Mbappe’s hatrick, Martinez’s antics are things that will make this an iconic legendary game that will be remembered for years to come. The games the OP has mentioned may have been more entertaining but their significance doesn’t compare which is why they don’t get as much hype.
An entertaining game for the neutral but we'll probably see better in the coming weeks.
Mbappe's 2nd goal was what you would expect from a top striker but the dubious decisions that lead to the 2 penalties were probably given due to FIFA orders in their desperation to make it 'great'.
Most people think Messi has been the best player over the last 20 years - I'm one of them but he didn't really do anything spectacular last night.
As others have said it was pretty humdrum for the first 80 minutes.
Entertaining yes.
Best ever, no.

Thought it was an excellent final, best ever, probably not. But it was arguably better than run of the mill PL games a the stakes were far higher.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why wasn’t it the best final ever? Most of them are shiiite
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Was thinking all finals, it was superb and easily better than 99.9% of league games, but it has its rivals that others have mentioned.
It was excellent though, really enjoyed it
it was good but let's keep in mind how cristiano ronaldo is massively overrated

That happend on RTE with their pundits. Argentina was cruising, Messi was genius, France was nowhere, 3 minutes later, Mbappe was be all end all in Football, Argentina was shiet and France were on another level.

So you're saying my comment is the GOAT comment?
For drama it was a fantastic last hour of football, zero doubt about that. Two heavyweights just trading blows once France equalised. Add in two greats of the game and the tension from the Argentina side, what more do people want.
Seen plenty of high scoring games but most were akin to sunday league footy such is the nature of the premier league kick and rush style.

welcome to the 21st century. People hate on everything these days. I hate that.
Was that the biggest game of football ever.
I've played better games in my backyard tbh
You have to take in what was at stake and therefore games like the two Liverpool - Newcastle matches cannot compare. I know Newcastle COULD have won the league if they had beaten Liverpool but the title was not on the line. I can give you the 05 CL final, which was pretty mental.
take the 89 Liverpool - Arsenal game. Was a drab affair apart from the last minute Thomas goal but is still one of the most dramatic games in the last 30-40 years.

Stupid article by a stupid poster as usual. Some idiot was saying it was "ONE" of the best World Cup Final matches. Care to point out which other WC Final game was even remotely as exciting as this?

The game wasnt great untill France got back in the game, before that France had been awful but you cant deny that after the France pen it came to life.
still don't think it was a patch on the champions league final of 2005.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You weren’t a neutral in 2005.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But its my opinion!
Of course it was.
But then these things always are.
Gotta keep upping the hyperbole or it wouldn't be hyperbole.
'Hyperboling' the hyperbole is (probably) "a thing".
