- In one of the most scintillating, and frustrating, finals in the history of the competition, Argentina outlasted France on penalty kicks to win their first World Cup crown since 1986.
- Only one selection was made from the runners-up, Aurelien Tchouameni. The Real Madrid product ran and ran against the Argentinians, but missed his penalty in the shootout to drop him below the standard.
- Fates were sealed for the most part at the bottom and the top of the table so it is no surprise that Last Man In German Pezzella came in to try to close out the game for Argentina...to no avail.
- That didn't matter because the one selection that put the ball in the back of the net was not Julian Alvarez but rather Angel Di Maria. With top scorers Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe already picked out, Di Maria's goal and 8.1 rating was also the optimal output for the Final.
- A tournament recap will come at some point this week and will resemble what was put together for the Euros Pick One Challenge last summer.
- In finality, CONGRATS TO SCOTT for winning his second ever Pick One Challenge!
