Please, STFU. A GOAT takes over games like today's Final. Except for a couple of chances, one he SHOULD have put away, dude was basically MIA. I was pulling for Argentina but for all the GOAT talk following Leo around, his WC was pretty meh...
Real talk
Shout out to LeBirdbrain, he'll avoid this thread because he was proven wrong by me, again

Not defending him but his team is not that great TBH. I was surprised they made it to the Final.

Lol some of the people on this site act as if the World Cup is like the NBA Finals and that not winning it every time is a massive stain on a players legacy. Look at Cruyff. Unlike how NBA fans disrespect past legends for "not getting it done," Cryuff's legacy is still valoured and respected.
Germany is the much deeper and talented team.

Not winning it once is a glaring hole on the GOAT's resume, dont you think?

Stop it, you're embarrassing yourself.
And since when was this on International play? Clown.

Messi ain't ****ing with Pele, Maradona, or Zidane. Not now, or ever.

What's Arbitrary****** talking about? So what Messi is better than Ronaldinho? He is tied imo, but you can argue he is better. Neither of them is the GOAT so the thread's premise is still correct.

The World Cup is on a level beyond an annual Superbowl or NBA Finals. To put it on the same level as a "championship" is dumb. Originally Posted by Mr.Kite

This isn't difficult to understand.Last edited by BasedTom; 07-13-2014 at 06:13 PM.
