Landon Donovan. Orlando Ramirez-USA TODAY Sports

Sunday’s World Cup final between Argentina and France was one of the greatest soccer matches in history, and Landon Donovan had a funny way of expressing how emotionally drained he was while watching it.

Argentina had a 2-0 lead until France star Kylian Mbappe was awarded a penalty kick in the 80th minute. He converted and then netted the equalizer roughly a minute later. The match then went to extra time.

Lionel Messi scored his second goal of the match in the second half of extra time to give Argentina a 3-2 lead. That still was not enough, as Mbappe once again netted an equalizer in the 118th minute after being awarded a penalty kick for an Argentina hand ball.

Before the game went to penalty kicks, Donovan joked on the Fox broadcast that he needed a cigarette.

“I don’t smoke guys, but I need a cigarette,” the former U.S. men’s national team star said.

Argentina went on to win in penalty kicks.
