World Cup FINAL - Argentina (p) 3-3 France - Sunday 18th December, 2022

[Dan+]

Argentina bossing this to be honest, been really impressed.

[Danny]

Messi has been brilliant so far

[Danny]

What a counter

[Stan]

YESSS 2-0 . Argentina counter and Di Maria finishes it.

[Spike]

I thought di Maria would sky it! France are looking like a shadow

[Toinho]

I don’t understand why the stadiums are always like 90% Argentinian fans 

[Stan]

Mac Allister has had a very good tournament.

[Toinho]

Wow game over. I would never have predicted this after they beat us as they were shithouse in that game.

Penalty Argentina!

Not sure where the contact is...

Have to see the replay.  To be fair the french defender didn't protest that much and he looked like he thought it might be a penalty. Probably wasn't enough to go down but holding back is still a penalty. Have to see it at half time though 

[Dr. Gonzo]

That was great.

[Inverted]

Embarrassing from France. Its even more embarrassing that they've already won a WC playing this way. 

[DeadLinesman]

No foul on Mbappe. Of course not. Shock horror. This referee is a joke.

[El Profesor]

That was a really beautiful goal by Di Maria. 

Argentina clearly the better side so far. 

I'm not sure what Deschamps should do. Perhaps subbing Giroud off for Thuram and moving Mbappé to the striker position?

[MUFC]

French have had a virus in the team this week. Wonder if that is effecting them?

If France not on the front foot higher up the pitch. It's pointless having Giroud on the pitch.

[Dan+]

That is exceptional. This is an absolutely superb display.

It’s because I hate penalties not Messi, I have been posting on here for five fucking years how much I hate penalties and how they fucking ruin watching the sport,  not everything is about fucking Messi, I don’t even hate him, I literally said I wanted Argentina to win, you have no idea what you are talking about 

You said in the semi-final thread (I think it was you) that you were beginning to hate Messi . And have called him a 'Qatari whore'. 

It's a weird thing to hate penalties. Or is it how they're given (in which case I can understand as some of the calls are very questionable, even aside from this World Cup).

Argentina probably caused that 

[Spike]

Terrible game so far, France can’t even muster a shot

Potentially. I'm guessing this is Messi's fault

[Rick]

Giroud coming off? He’s been the only mediocre French player. The rest have been awful.

They need runners

[Gunnersaurus]

Best first half performance from a team in a world cup final since france in 1998

[DeadLinesman]

Deschamps looking at Mbappe from the bench.

Its not been terrible mate. France have been but the game hasn't been
