I don't get the Fernet thing in SF.  If you work in the service industry, it's like the only option for a shot
I like that cough syrup stuff every once in a while.  but one shot is enough for a year in my book

it's the new Jägermeister for hipsters.

In 90 minutes?  I'm not so sure I would.

For 80 minutes I was spot on. 

horseshoes and hand grenades…

had me on the edge of my seat.  i disagree with messi getting the MVP award.  mbappe kept a stoic face when he came out to get his golden boot, but it clearly meant very little to him (not sure the MVP would have been any more meaningful…)

If by new you mean "was eight years ago".

I'm thinking a decade or more, but who's counting

I feel like Fernet became big in the cocktail scene nationwide like 5-ish years ago. Hipsters were drinking it a few years before that. Add 3-5 years for SF where it first got a beachhead in the US.

Fernet has been a San Francisco thing since the 1800's, but really regained popularity in the late 90's.  There's a great SF Gate article about it.  I'm not a fan myself, but it only seemed appropriate after Argentina won.

Absolutely…it’s the most popular drink in Argentina (after beer and wine)

Of course not. Nobody cares about those awards. I agree with Messi getting it but could care less. I remember when Messi got it in 2014 after losing the final to Germany and was utterly disgusted about it. Mbappe would have been the same I bet….

The cup is in Buenos Aires! Millions upon millions celebrating in the streets.

I was talking to my sister on Saturday before the final about why it should be that this trophy should mean so much to us. There is no rhyme or reason to it and I don’t have the answers but it just does… For sure Argentina is a hardcore footballing country; it’s fans the most passionate. Our national team may be the one thing that unites us.

umm, what's going on in this picture

He's drunk and laying with the trophy?? Fairly common in most sports.

I get that…just was itching for some snarky commentary about having unprotected sex with the world cup

We've all fucked worse.

It's a well established fact that Argentina has a liberal Conjugal Visit policy, there are likely six police watching from behind the camera.

has messi let anyone else touch the cup yet?  during the post-game trophy presentation, dude wouldn't let go of it.  i'm used to seeing the captain of the team receiving the trophy, parading around with with it… then letting the others on the team have a chance to hold that.  didn't see that in the post-game, haven't seen it since - except for that douchebag "celebrity chef" who snuck his way on to the stage.  has, like, di maria gotten his mitts on it yet??

Jeez even salt bae has his fingerprints on it.

Goes from crying off the field to a $75 mil a year contract

Cristiano Ronaldo signs for Al Nassr in the Saudi Arabian Pro League. The 37-Year Old has signed a reported $75 million a year deal to bring his talent on the field and his  525 Million Instagram followers which will act as a global megaphone for the Saudi brand off it. Remarkable to witness.
