Great Ike:
I watched the entire series….I am not sure we can describe the final as the "mother of all matches!" It ended in luck!! If the penalty in the first three minutes had produced a goal, perhaps the dynamics would have been different. He lost the penalty because he substituted brute force for skill. The second opportunity he had, where he used the well-tested kick to the upper corner, was a combination of skill, power and velocity.
On the whole, and without disrespect to your judgement, the quality is not impressive…the final is great.
We need to build local clubs, encourage fierce competitions, and stop the model of export-import, treating players as cocoa for chocolate.
Stay well

Congrats to Senegal! It was the "mother of all matches." It was Senegal 4, and Egypt 2, on penalty kicks.
