Best FIFA World Cup Finals
The greatest Finals of the biggest tournament in the sporting world - the FIFA World Cup. From 1930 to today, these are the greatest championship matches resulting in the crowning of the greatest football nation on the planet.
Because Geoff Hurst scored a hat trick, and no one else has in a World Cup final. England are the best. Extra time. "People are on the pitch. They think it's all over. It is now."
Two of the biggest world rivals playing in a World Cup final. England won the World Cup and scored a hat trick on home ground. How can it not be the best World Cup final ever?
That was the last time England was in the FIFA World Cup Finals (as of 2018). And that was long ago, man. Brits should do something.
Yes, West Germany was part of the most interesting finals. Germans have had great teams.
Most chances on goal with a lot of close misses.
All-around most entertaining final ever!
The most dramatic World Cup ever. Argentina dominated to take a 2-0 lead, and Germany valiantly fought back to tie it 2-2. The ball came to Maradona's foot near midfield with 5 minutes remaining, and he made the best pass in history while 3 German defenders converged towards him. He hit Burruchaga in stride, who outraced the German defenders to slip in the goal to win it.
Maradona also assisted on the second goal and won by playing a brilliant final without even scoring.
Could the best player in the world, Diego Maradona, perform his magic against the tightest team in the world, Germany, determined to stop him? On this day, yes! Maradona broke the 2-2 tie with the best pass of all time in the World Cup.
Awesome back-and-forth game.
The headbutt and penalties got it! (By the way, Italy won their first penalty shootout!)
Greatest final of any World Cup!
The winning goal of Gerd Müller was his 1,000th!
The best final EVER! A world-class goal by Iniesta! How could it be 5th? And the first World Cup to Spain's name.
The first World Cup held in Africa brought the first World Cup to Spain.
Zidane's brace in the first half was the best moment of my life. Petit's late goal was pretty awesome too.
According to Pelé, this was the most talented Brazilian national team ever, though the team of the 1970 World Cup was better.
Great final with overtime.
The passion of the Argentinian fans was memorable.
It is a myriad clash of titans, the old vs. the new, Mbappe vs. Messi. The drama concluded with the arguably greatest player of all time lifting the only cup that had ever eluded him.
Brazil is my national team after Indonesia. Yeah.
Heartbreaking for some, heart-winning for others, heart-stopping for the rest of us. This truly was a match for all to remember, especially the Götze goal.
I'm not used to seeing Argentina lose.
First time the final was decided by penalties. The two greatest champions. And both were a long time without winning the World Cup.
The match with the highest attendance in football history (199,854 - official paid attendance 173,830).
Unlike other World Cups, the 1950 winner was determined by a final group stage, with the final four teams playing in a round-robin format instead of a knockout stage. Brazil was one point ahead of Uruguay going into the match. Uruguay needed a win while Brazil needed only to avoid defeat to claim the title of world champions.
But Brazil lost, and when the match ended, people said the stadium was filled with "disturbing and traumatic absolute silence," except for the euphoria and celebration of the Uruguayan players and delegation.
The best World Cup Final ever, at the end of an excellent tournament in Russia. Great goals, an own goal, a penalty, mistakes, and excitement. What more could you want? Both teams played their part.
Offensive football and goals that we had to see since 1986.
With this third win after their 1958 and 1962 World Cup victories, Brazil became the world's most successful national football team at that time, surpassing both Italy and Uruguay, who each had two championships. The third title earned Brazil the right to retain the Jules Rimet Trophy permanently.
