Kind of late for this review because of traveling in Barcelona, but here we are after 3 days... I attended a watchparty near the hotel that I'm staying at and boy oh boy what an experience it was! The atmosphere was immaculate. Got called Cucurella countless of times by a lot of guys over here because of my long, curly hair (no offence taken haha). The interactions were amazing as if you knew them a long time and the people were so welcoming which made the experience even better. Everytime Trump would come on screen, everyone booed loudly towards him (including myself) and chanted 'Viva Palestina' as if it couldn't get better haha. What was funny about this match is that everytime Argentina made a foul, everyone started to cheer as if the game was won, let alone that red card lmao haha. The final itself was very good imo, excluding that halftime show 🙄, but the match itself was very tense and nail-biting to watch. Both sides played very good at their strengths. Argentina with their brick wall of a defense and Spain just controling and dominating the whole match. If it wasn't for Emi Martinez, Argentina would've conceded so many goals. At last can't forget about the most important moment of the match: the winning goal from none other than Ferran Torres the SHARK!!! So happy for him, he deserves this moment after everything he has gone through. The whole crowd erupted, fireworks were lit, beer thrown all over the place, Spain flags all waving in the air. This was truely beauty in chaos... During this final I lost my voice, whole body was sweaty asf, my feet totally bruised up and my spine couldn't hold it anymore from standing the whole match. Loved every single second of this experience. This city is truly magical. Its people, the culture, the weather, just so many things are amazing. I feel extremely lucky to have experienced such a big event in Barcelona out of all places haha. Truly a dream come true... Thank you football and thank you Bookd community ❤️

Tough match, tough luck. Spain played a better match than us, they were more organized than us and that gave them the deserved win. For us it was already difficult before the match even started with Tielemans injured during warm-up and also Onana with his ACL injury, he was truly missed this game. Afterwards, Courtois getting injured mid-game, KDB getting old and at last Doku just not performing well at big games like this, just not putting any efficiency in his game. This World Cup was full of surprises for us especially after the Senegal match with Lukaku showing his magic. He was truly the reason why this campaign was so exciting to watch and show what he had in store and wow he did not disappoint. He's the greatest striker Belgium will ever have and no doubt a legend. Will never hate him no matter what. I will miss him a lot...❤️ The boys need to keep their heads high because the next generation of players have a lot of potential. Raskin, Ngoy and Moreira surprised me the most. Hopefully they reach their potentials in their careers in the future. Much love to Spain. Will be rooting for them till the end for my Barça boys. VAMOS!!!
