Smith: Incredible World Cup final shows how soccer-mad Houston can be — and just wait until 2026 games arrive
Lionel Messi, one of the greatest soccer players of all time and finally a World Cup champion, waved to a roaring stadium in Qatar after more than 120 minutes of passion, heartbreak, chaos and pure joy.After all the screaming, singing, sudden “No, no, no!” shouts and a final celebration ended with Argentina downing France 4-2 on penalty kicks in the 2022 World Cup final.
After cellphones were raised in unison to capture the era-defining kicks, oversized screens in EaDo displayed the pinball-like battle between France’s Kylian Mbappé and Messi, and a man wearing a blue-and-white jersey jumped on another man’s back when a final Argentina kick shook the left side of the net.
By early Sunday morning, downtown parking spots were already disappearing, and devout believers in the beautiful game were hurriedly streaming toward Pitch 25. “We actually had a line at 7 a.m. wrapping almost around the building,” Pitch 25 general manager Cody Wootton said. “When we let them in, everybody runs in.”
