Such a corny line.  I don't buy it to be honest.  I think France are poor but they have individuals who clearly know where the goal is.

I don't agree. I think for all their weaknesses this France team are mentally strong. Other teams would have folded and lost their discipline.

It goes to pens, Messi misses.

Your having a laugh ...  they have been poor for the last three games.

Poor from a mental perspective? I would disagree, I think even under pressure they have stayed calm. 2 goals down and heads could have dropped, but discipline has remained, just as it did in last 2 games. Also you have to give credit to Deschamps for making the right calls with substitutions.

I remember Man U winning 2 champions league finals when they were quite poor, the players and fans didn't care as they lifted the trophy.

France well on top towards the end. Argentina have more options from the bench now and need to use them effectively.

Football lasts 90 minutes (or 120) - not 80.

Shit pen decision and a moment of genius from a good player.  That's the be all and end all.  Stop making it more than it was lol

Look at the 98 world cup Brazil 2-0 down and heads dropped, hasn't happened to France. I hope Argentina win, but I'm feeling it may go the other way

He hasn't impressed me much this tournament, but that was special.

This game deserves a clean winner, I dint want to see penalties. Hope that is it now.

Might be a few delays on supper , it’s all your fault 🙂 

[pink_triangle]

I just fancy France on penalties.

[Punksnotdead]

Ah come on - can we have another 30 minutes please?

[Crazyfool01]

Utter madness 

[pink_triangle]

Not the greatest finalists, but by far the best final I have ever seen.

 

 

[steviewevie]

Damn. Hate penalties.

[Crazyfool01]

Fuck me that’s some balls from Messi 

[Crazyfool01]

[steviewevie]

Martinez shithousery made the difference.

One of the best world cups, the best final and the worthy winners.

I thought Argentina were the best team in both the final and tournament, so deserved winners. A great final, which in my view was only spoiled slightly by the penalties. Also agree about the mental strength of Argentina, to lose 2-0 leads twice and prevail was great, previous Argentina teams would have fallen apart.

Mbappe looks amazing when playing shit sides.  Less so when playing anyone remotely good 

To be fair a hat trick in a world cup final isn't bad!!

Look what happens if you don't have an over rated muppet taking penalties against the French?
