The Final: Argentina v France

[Martin Alvito]

No idea what this means so twelve?

I would post it, but @AndyC would perma-ban me for the seven infractions, so I'll PM it.

They have a few minutes to talk it over, which seemed to settle things against the Dutch. Lucky to get the bell, because they were on the ropes. They're starting to find some gaps on the counter, so if they can tighten it down a bit they might edge this.

Look like Argentia are hanging on here, they need to recover psychologically now. They look out on their feet and struggling with Frances running game and the wrong place against the wrong players to be out on your feet. I think they might play for pens. Can see this being decided by a red or another penalty.

Hope it goes to Pens and Messi misses the last kick for France to win.

Vive la France

Messi normally goes third

I've been wrong about most things in this tournament, so maybe I will be again, but France might just have missed their best chance to win this in the last 10. Argentina, as is their wont, have collapsed. But they can go again as they did against the Dutch. The last 15 have saved this match in much the same way they did the 1986 final. I'd like a winner in ET please. No pens.

TBF the Dutch did help them by entirely failing to keep doing the thing (hoofs downfield) that got them back into that game, not sure France will

I hate extra time.

And penalties.

They should just end it now.

Shred the World Cup, send everyone home and say we’ll try again in 2026.

I think they should have a FIFA version of Takeshi's Castle to decide the winner.

 

[ToffeeDan]

Geoff Hurst a bit upset now..

 

[Papa Shango]

Kin ell. Liz Truss “done a job.”

I'm not sure she did!

Replay tuesday.
Our grandparents knew what the most fair way to settle a draw was.

Argentina seem the most likely to get a man sent off though

Place your (virtual) bets - who wins?

 

[Neiler]

Come On Argentina!

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Not arsed if Messi doesn't get his hands On the trophy, he's a magnificent player and that absolute belter Ronaldo lives in his shadow.

France, but shouting for Argentina.

 

[Toffeeslam]

Place your (virtual) bets - who wins?

Argentina lesser of the two evils

But momentum with France

 

[Alan Whittle]

I'm not sure she did!

That was my point!
