Football is a mental game; both literally and figuratively! How did the French team just gain so much confidence from their 1st goal after playing nothing till then, and Arg just lose all their fortitude!
We saw it happen against Spain, Germany and a few others. The World Cup of comebacks
And that referee deserves a mention. It will take some effort looking for the post to upvote it where others mentioned it, but he had a perfect game getting all the major decisions spot on.
Not sure about the first penalty for Argentina

Can't believe they're making France take a team photo

Imagine if the first France penalty was never given

Brilliant game, best World Cup ever and final imo.
One of the best international games ever

Would prefer Argentina to win - not just for Messi but it would also be good to see a non European team win it

This is reminding me of the Canada - Belgium match

Will be scoreless until some subs are made. I'm predicting another shootout.
Imagine if Croatia win the tournament without winning a game in the knockout stages

I've got a feeling Croatia will do it but I hope I'm wrong

He recently had to do a show from Portman Road (Ipswich) for TalkSport & refused to stay for the match which was 45 minutes after his show finished. He said football outside the top flight is non existent to him.

If Gerrard had stayed at Rangers, he'd probably of been top of the queue (presuming they'd remained successful under him)

Michael Carrick is probably one worth keeping an eye for the future. Had a very good start at Boro and with his international experience and media handling would seem like a potential coach for after the Euro's.

There's no way I can see the FA getting rid of Southgate. If he does leave it will be his decision & he doesn't strike me as someone that's likely to walk out of a contract.

To be honest, we (I'm French BTW) never felt very threatened in the Second Half, after Kane's goal, it reminded us a lot of the Belgium game, we let the opponent do his job but we're trusty enough about our defense (and thanks Lloris and Upamecano) to bear the brunt of England's offense.
I'll end up by saying that England seems a lot more competent than it was years ago, it would be extremely unlikely if you never win anything with this generation and this kind of play.
I think you were lucky. Your first goal could of easily been ruled out, we could of had another penalty on top of the two we had, which if converted would of given us a comfortable win. Plus we hit the post. But fair play, every chance you go on to win it now.

On the bright side we kept Mbappe quiet
To be honest Dave, I'm surprised you haven't recommended Robins as a possible replacement as of yet

There's a proper dearth of quality/successful England managers. If Southgate is replaced, it's either going to have to be an absolutely hopeful punt on someone or a successful foreigner. There's no successful English managers.
Wouldn't be surprised if Rodgers gets it, if we do change managers.

Oh and Southgate 100% brought on Grealish for 5 seconds just so he could say he'd brought on Grealish.
His hand was forced because Stones was injured ... he wasn't going to bring him on

But all the English managers are terrible.
Which is why I was asking who we should go for if Southgate leaves. Howe or Potter would be obvious choices, but can't see them leaving their club sides.

Why wouldn't you? Only reason would be racism.
Not at all, this is meant to be the best of England. Same way I wouldn't want an English manager if I was from Argentina. I understand smaller countries going for foreign managers, but I'm firmly of the opinion we should be appointing English or at least British managers. Plus, it hasn't exactly worked out when we've both in other highly rated foreign coaches in the past. @skybluedave

When Kane stepped up i did think maybe he should have let someone else take it. Obviously that was never going to happen, but the mental gymnastics he would have been going through - "do i do the same thing, do i go opposite where he went?" etc - would have put too much pressure on him.
I thought that before he took it, but then if the other player missed everyone would be raging that Kane didn't take it.

Poch
Do you really want an Argentine manager?

All those saying Southgate should go who would you replace him with? Can't see the FA buying Howe or Potter out of their contracts and that would mean going down the foreign route, which personally I'm not a huge fan of.

It seemed like they were just giving awards to the players from the final for the presentation.
