genome How many players have "completed the set"?
Domestic League and Cup, Champions League, regional national tournament and World Cup?

Royal Rother What a great final. I admire a man of principle but spare a moment for Ian who will now be reading about it (if he didn’t actually watch it).
Would have been even better if France had turned up for the entire game. Goodness me they were poor for 80 mins even if that was largely because of Argentina’s fantastic pressing and energy.
Argentina were excellent and thoroughly deserved their victory. Messi was absolutely brilliant and a pleasure to watch.
And overall a very good WC, made sweeter by Ronaldo and Suarez crying their Loser tears.

Winston BiscuitGreenWinston Biscuit didn't bother watching the WC Finals in 90,94,98,10, only saw bits of 2014 and I may not bother with this one
finals are generally a disappointment
Did you watch it Winst?
78 mins onwards. Thankful, was a great game!

leon This WC has made me understand what an actual team team player he is.

Hendo I've never understood how people don't enjoy watching Messi.

I think some people get fed up with the over-eulogising from the pundits, there was a bit in one of Argentina's matches where Danny Murphy wet himself over Messi taking a free kick that went over the bar![]()
I really enjoy him as a player though. Certainly think he's settled the GOAT deb8 now.

Sanguine The 'fawning' never bothers me. He's brilliant. Let's hype it. Because once he retires there won't be Messi any more

^ this. If you can't go over the top as a pundit at one of the greatest ever players in the twilight of his career dragging his country to a world cup win when can you?

Spain won Euro 08, WC 10, and Euro 12 so a good chunk of the squad who played for Real Madrid or Barca would have done I'd have thought. Maybe also some of the French squad from the WC98/Euro 00 winners
