The Final: Argentina v France

[allen]

Feeling a bit like the France 98 final to me, this - but France are the side that didn’t show up today.

 

[cocklord]

Brave of France to decide to start boycotting the World Cup Finals at this stage.

Also, Wtf is Mina doing as the sideline official?

 

[JimmyJeffers]

good management

aside from being a mug and giving the penalty away, what has Dembele done today?

Can’t recall a double sub on 40mins. Feels a bit like the manager deflecting blame.

What 2. Holland and?

Thought they were up 2-0 on Saudis but I may be misremembering.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Why that sub?

Deschamps heard you had tipped Giroud to net twice.

Sorry, I'll leave it now.

What's with the illness that the French had over the last few days ?

 

[everton fan number one]

Mpabbe's gone central- desperate to get him in the game

 

[Rita_Poon]

two footer there misses just. leg breaker.

 

[kenada_blue]

Giroud's had a great tournament. Sad to see him subbed in the first half for the final.

Thinking exactly that when he went off. The only one putting it about

 

[4 Eyes Better Than 2]

Mpabbe's gone central- desperate to get him in the game

Has he played the last 3 games ?

 

[Rook]

5mins from half time though?

2-0 is doable + injury time, 3-0 and its over

 

[PhilM]

5mins from half time though?

Maybe, he believes it is important to get one back before half-time as it'll fill them with confidence and sap away some of Argentina's.

Still, I don't think the changes are going to make much of a difference.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Argentina desperately fighting for the ball in the middle there. Massively important they go in at HT. 2 up

 

[Lineker]

A team with brighton and villa players starting is going to win a world cup

I never understood the whole thing where people would talk about how crap the bottom half teams of the premier league are. It is literally the best league in the world, or at least in the top two. I mean how could it not be with the amount of money coming in? This just reflects that.

What's with the illness that the French had over the last few days ?

Knowing the French it's almost certainly syphilis
