Mbappe’s 24th Birthday Present Is the World Cup Golden Boot

The Greatest of all time vs The Greatest of his time

The Qatar 2022 FIFA Men’s world cup has come to a close today after the most-thrilling final game of all time.

Argentina took the fight to France early in the game with their captain, Messi finding the net in the 23rd minute through a penalty. Di Maria who had been benched the past two games will double their lead in the 36th minute making Argentine praises ring out through the Lusail Iconic Stadium.

France will have the difficult task to come back three times with goals from boy wonder, Kylian Mbappe, in the 80th, 81st, and 118th minutes respectively.

Didier Deschamps’ men gave the world a delightful watch and fought to the final whistle but penalty shootouts will be their undoing. There’s just something sinister about substitutes taking high-stakes penalties.

Lionel Scaloni’s men will come out on top 4:2 after the penalties and win the world cup for the first time since 1986. This is the country’s third world cup win making them the third nation to win a world cup final shootout after Brazil in 1994 and Italy in 2006.

Lionel Messi is being hailed as the Greatest Of All Time all over social media, having won EVERY major football trophy.

However, the biggest story from today’s final is about 23-year-old Mbappe who

• becomes the 6th-highest men’s World Cup scorer
• has scored 12 World Cup goals in 14 games
• scored the first hat trick in a men’s final since 1966
• is the first player to score over 8 goals in a single World Cup tournament since Ronaldo in 2002.

With his eight goals the highest scored by a single player, he gets the 2022 FIFA Men’s world cup golden boot award ahead of Paris Saint Germain club teammate, Lionel Messi.

What a phenomenal birthday present for the French man who turns 24 in two days!
