Did Spain deserve to win the World Cup and how did hosts react?
Bonjour, Guten Tag, Hola. Hello. Welcome back to The Calling Show. You liked that, didn't you? Yeah, I liked it a lot. I thought I'd culturalise it because obviously it's the World Cup Calling Show, but not really today. We are going to touch on the fact Spain won it deservedly. Good. After you said England would win it. How do you feel about that? Yeah, I'm an Englishman. So? In two years, I'll say it again.
Yeah, but if... We'll be in a good spot in two years. And we're at home. In two weeks? In two years. Oh, you reckon? Yeah, and we're at home.
You trust Tuchel? Yeah, I do, yeah. I don't give him that again. What makes you think we're going to win it, considering we've still got to come up against France, Spain? No guarantee. Portugal?
We might scab his way through without playing any of it. No, but in the final, you're going to have to play probably this week. But at home, I'd hope that we don't do what Southgate did against Italy. What, like Tuchel did against Argentina? Yeah, exactly that. Sorry, man. But yeah, I don't think we'd have enough. What do you think of the final? Right, team won. Argentina were shit. They're not a real side. They're just full of shin kickers. It's a bit... And Paredes, by the way, Paredes is a joke.
Yeah, he's a disgrace. He don't care. He's a great finisher. He's not an arse. Apparently, he didn't actually get sent off. There was a report saying he got sent off, but FIFA have come out and said he didn't get sent off.
No, and Molina should have been sent off.
They're horrible. They are horrible, horrible rats. He's squaring up on his toes. It's embarrassing. What I hate about them is... I get it, especially against the English. I get it, giving it loads, blah, blah, blah. But in the final, you've just been absolutely outplayed and beaten by the better side. You are the current reigning champions. They've all won it. It's Spain's time. Just have a bit of class, but they can't have any class, can they? They're horrible little rats. And that little ginger fucker, oh my God, I'm so happy he was crying. So happy he was crying. They're horrible. So I was absolutely over the moon. They lost mainly for football, mainly because obviously we hate Argentina and mainly just because of them little fucking horrible.
I've never been that arsed about them before this though. I've never liked them just because you're taught to, but this one, yeah, the way it's been with all the Falklands and all that crap, I think, yeah, they're just, they are weird. Yeah. But they are winners. They're three-time winners.
Do you think that has any impact on Messi's legacy, the way it ended?
No.
Not at all. If it were him that were going around smacking people after, then yeah, fair enough.
If you're trying to get Cucurella sent off, you're a little bastard. But I think even though at 39... There's nothing, like the way he's performed at this World Cup, it's impossible to hit his legacy. He obviously needs more help than he got. He was arguably the best player at the tournament at 39, which is mental. But obviously in the final of the cup against just a far better side. I don't, yeah, Rodri. Yeah, I'm going to say it wasn't golden.
What's it called? Golden ball.
Did he deserve it? Had a messy?
Yeah. I think so, yeah. I'd have Jude in front of Messi genuinely from this tournament.
Nah.
I would, I seriously would. I think Jude's top goal scorer ever from midfield as well. I think he's England's, isn't he? In one tournament? Yeah, probably. I think Jude carried... I know, obviously, Messi and everything that's built around him. But I think Jude were better than Messi. But Roger deserved to win it.
I know, but in the big moments... No, sorry, not in the big moments. In the big moment against each other, England, Argentina, Messi was the one who... Yeah, that's true. Do you know what I mean? I think you'd have to edge it Messi over Jude. But Jude's definitely up there. An unbelievable tournament. Roger deserved it. But Roger, oh my God. He's incredible, man. Who said it last week? about being a top three six yeah it was that uh city fan he's right yeah he's definitely because he's better we said he's better than mackerel i think the only one i could definitely put in his buskets but yeah he's got it's weird because these players do tend to not get appreciated until it's just too obvious too glaringly obvious yeah i mean like when it's so obvious that he is the cog
