The Final: Argentina v France

[Bohemian Toffee]

Isnt all football a bit soulless now?

Ive really enjoyed this World Cup but I think because it gave us all a break from Everton helped.

Fixed that for you.

Well, at least with Argentina winning that gives Messi a World Cup trophy over Ronaldo. All the Ronaldo bum boys can shut it now.
Since joining United, I have really come to loathe him and all his cry arse attempts for attention.

And at least today puts an end to this World Cup. I don’t know about you lads, but this one felt soulless. I haven’t enjoyed it at all if I’m being honest.

You can see that Messi is playing for Argentina - it means something beyond himself. You can see the relationship he has with the other players.

Ronaldo is about him and him alone. Was it about winning the WC with Portugal, or him being in the limelight? We all know the answer.

Messi has gone up another notch in my eyes.

That half made me want to vomit in terror. Booo!

 

[McBain]

Argentina are a scumbag side, such kopites.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

France completely bottled that half. Really expected a footballing spectacle today with France having a proper go but they’ve had no answer to the snide Argie tactics.

Credit where it’s due though, wonderful second goal worthy of winning a World Cup.

Glad you’re alright, aside from the cold. It’s going around mate, two kids and the missus down with fluey cough - horrible stuff.

Oh dear me mate.

 

[Martin Alvito]

Hahaha this fella is a proper lunatic.

How he’s still afforded a mainstream media platform is beyond me.

Murdoch disciple who came up through the papers, got on TV as a talent show presenter and won Celebrity Apprentice. He somehow played that into Larry King's seat at CNN and failed miserably, but managed to become famous enough to become a TV fixture in the process.

 

[spectateur]

Poor game.

Sounds like the nation is sick
. Need to return to masks and safe distance.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

This is why I don't drink. It allows men to tell me I'm wrong

*it allows ?

 

[Rook]

French look like they used all their energy and verve getting past England. Were poor against Morocco.

Big second half.

Was Giroud injured or unwell? Strange taking him off like that.

Mbappe is moving inside. Needed a wide player. Tho lumping it to a CF was the only thing the Argies couldn't handle in the past 6 matches.

 

[Drico]

Be good of the French to turn up.

Far from being crowned one of the great international sides of all time by winning back-to-back World Cups, they're actually in danger of holing their legacy under the bow if they take a hammering here - which now looks more likely than not.

That second Argentinian goal was sensational. The penalty a little iffy - but often given. The key will be if the ref does likewise for a similar case in the other box - if the French can actually enter it.

Gee another soft pen for Argentina… been a fix for them from the start.

Look at the state of the Portugal team though to be fair, I'd be a selfish [Poor language removed] too with that dross

 

[Simon Buttle]

Argentina are a scumbag side, such kopites.

They are no worse than some of those old Klinsman era German sides who could fall over a blade of grass even though nobody was within 3ft of them.

They have a great squad?
