On this weeks final World Cup pod we go over the week that was at the 2022 World Cup, including recapping both semi-final games and the third place matchup.

We take a look at team Canada’s future and if the higher expectations means tougher scrutiny from fans and the media.

We also talk about the Alphonso Davies criticism, both warranted and unwarranted from Canadian media and where he fit into the story of Canada’s tournament.

We explore the differences in approach to the third place game from Morocco and Croatia and if third place games or series would work in North American pro-sports.

We then preview the World Cup Final with Argentina vs France and we dive into the Messi vs Mbappé battle that was sure to come.

Finally we settle debate once and for all around Messi and his place among the all-time-greats and share some future tournaments that you should check out to keep the love of the game going.
