  1. Still amazed that the side that did everything humanly possible to let a struggling side back into the game managed to get their penalties on target, never mind score them...
  2. Sweepstake on which row of the stands Lautaro's penalty ends up in? (he's blatantly going to score)
  3. It's been a very weird game for a lot of reasons, but not having a shot whilst behind for about an hour and being outnumbered in their own penalty area whilst level in extra time is tactically very, very odd Matched only by how determined Argentina are to give it back
  4. Was hit pretty hard. But I do think they coach keepers not to push it straight to Messi...
  5. Upamecano's had a few dodgy moments at this World Cup, but those two blocks are as good as goals
  6. tbf, if you ignore there being about 50 minutes in the middle that were completely one-sided, it's been compelling. Most international finals don't see two goal comebacks
  7. Actually a really good call from the ref that one, especially since the defender has a proper swipe before pulling his leg out the way, and there is [manufactured] contact. Ref's had a good game tbf. Three massive calls and got them all right.
  8. Not sure what his form's been like, but amazed he didn't come on earlier considering how sluggish the rest of the team looked Muani's been a class above the starting XI too
  9. I hit send 10 seconds before that goal, and I don't think I've ever laughed so much at seeing one go in
  10. If Argentina don't win this it'll have to go down as the funniest bottling of all time. Seen bigger comebacks, but not involving a team that didn't realise they were allowed to shoot for 70 minutes...
  11. Waiting for Emiliano Martinez to get bored and try to gift them a goal again.
  12. That was the time they'd originally allotted to talking about French attacking play. In all seriousness, I expected five minutes on Gareth's decision to stay on
  13. Have we got a conspiracy theory that France were intentionally poisoned yet? (We need one. France are playing like they have 11 Ronaldo Fenomenos on the pitch. Unfortunately the 98 final vintage)
  14. Not convinced. They've been good, players like De Paul that haven't always been have properly stepped up and the counter attack goal (through massive gaping hole) was brilliant, but I think Morocco would be blowing France away today and quite a few sides that went out in the groups would be on top.
  15. Was typing the words "might need more than one" as the change was made Think there probably is something to the illness comments. One thing being a bit dull and made to look a bit silly by Messi, quite another to not even be running much in a tournament final, not even the players that have been on it all tournament
  16. Does anyone actually rate Dembele apart from Deschamps? Reputation seems to be more of a comedy sicknote player whose transfer fee is cited the worst example of Barcelona excess and everyone groans when they get linked with having him on loan... - And that goal should be that, the way France are playing
  17. He's not great at them, he's merely average but it's never a bad pen when you're on target and the keeper goes the other way...
  18. Proper dive, but also so clumsy from Dembele that VAR was never going to save him.
