Top fan take from @nick: “It doesn’t feel like nearly 4 years have passed. I remember this game so vividly. The 10am kickoff. A freezing Sunday in December. Mollie and I were in D.C. visiting her bro for the holidays, I was adamant we’d find a place to watch the World Cup Final. After scouting bars around Logan Circle, we landed on The Admiral. Showing up at 9am to a line 50 deep told me everything. This was the spot. By 9:30, it was packed. We grabbed 2 bar seats, saving the others with our coats. The energy was unreal. Fans from everywhere, a French couple next to us who didn’t speak English, vuvuzelas echoing through the bar. At 10am, it all began. What followed was the single greatest sporting event I’ve ever witnessed. On the biggest stage, the best players delivered moments I still can’t believe; Di Maria, Mbappé’s 2nd, Messi off the bar in the 96th. It was 2–0 in the 70th! Even the penalties, my only blemish, couldn’t take away from it. This is the Gold Standard. How I measure all others. THE PERFECT 10.”

Venue: Lusail Stadium
