It's good imo as there were some good behind the scenes stuff and the interviews from the players and Scaloni were nicely done, especially with their experience leading up to the Mexico game. The documentary is separated into 4 episodes, felt the first 2 episodes was a bit slow with a back and forth of different time periods. Could have done better presented of Messi's goal vs Mexico and beating France in the penalty shootout imo.

The scenes after the France penalty shootout though was emotional as not only was the WC final felt like a movie, but Messi's Argentina career as well with a lot of ups and downs with the incredible ending that the GOAT deserves. Fortunate to have been able to see his international career from start to end.

No post about the great battle between Puig and Messi last night?

Puig missed a pen, Messi scored the equalizer in the 92nd after a couple of nice 1-2s with Alba. It was Riqui who passed straight to Messi which started the sequence.

A bit of a simplification. Puig ran the show the whole night, created nearly every chance for Galaxy. Galaxy dominated Miami the 1st half. Puig was under pressure at the end of the game after winning the ball defending near his own box after his idiot teammate Delgado left Galaxy a man short collecting 2 utterly stupid yellow cards. He had just intercepted a pass sliding to the ground and released the ball quickly to where his teammate was 1 second earlier, but Messi had read the situation and Puig's teammate had already started to run away. You can argue he should have just booted the ball down the pitch but that's not his DNA.

Puig also had the best shot on target for Galaxy other than the goal, forcing the Miami keeper to make a great save (the penalty save was also very good).

By far the best performance by Galaxy overall since Puig arrived. Had their new signing Paintsil had half a brain and wasn't so horribly selfish, Galaxy might have been up a couple of goals in the 1st half (with most attacks launched by Puig).
