Poetic justice really.

[SotonianWill]

Best World Cup final i’ve ever seen.

Tbf I don’t think i’ve ever seen a good one. 

[Sunglasses Ron]

This is just ridiculous.

We (England) are light years from these two mentality-wise.

[Suhari]

Penalty!

Scored!

[Lighthouse]

France look dead on their feet.

[The Cat]

No penalties, just let them play until someone scores. This game is so much fun.

[trousers]

Martinez what save!

And Argentina miss a great chance at the other end!

Game is totally insane

[The Cat]

Did that Martinez guy win a competition or something? He's worse than Che Adams.

[trousers]

Penalties 

[Sunglasses Ron]

Fuck penalties.

Just do Golden Goal please!

Yep. Might even be the best World Cup of all time too tbf.

[iansums]

Wow, what a game, shame it has to go to penalties 

[sadoldgit]

OMG. What a final!!!!!!

[AlexLaw76]

That was an amazing save at the end

Penalties

 

[SotonianWill]

Wish they could give us a second extra time, I don’t think anyone wants to watch this end on penalties

Every time I have watched him during this tournament he has been utter cack! 
 

what a brilliant game this has been though, absolutely outstanding. 

[Suhari]

Unbelievable game.

[whelk]

Neither deserve to lose

[East Kent Saint]

Call it a dead heat , gold medal each …..

[SotonianWill]

“stylish” 

“incredible”

Absolute shit, any keeper sunday league could save that. why does no one else see this

[Suhari]

Messi penalty.

😉

[Sheaf Saint]

Emi Martinez stepped off his line there. Should have been retaken.

[AlexLaw76]

Messi and Mbappe take a couple of penalties in the biggest games of their lives

 Never in doubt. 
 

Lloris nearly had his toes on that last one

Edited 18 December, 2022 by AlexLaw76

[AlexLaw76]

Almost there!

 

[trousers]

Argentina win

[whelk]

So pleased for Messi

[AlexLaw76]

What a fabulous game of soccer-ball

fitting that the greatest ever has done it!

[RedArmy]

Lloris either let them penalties in or he is the worst keeper in the world. 

[Nordic Saint]

That was the greatest World Cup Final, bar none. An absolutely magnificent game of football.

Ref should have yellow carded him twice for his un sporting behaviour 😋

[badgerx16]

Scoring a hat trick in a WC final and losing. How gutting.

[whelk]

Score a hat trick in WC final and end up losing

He's pretty shit at saving penalties.  A bit like De Gea. Good keepers but just not at that part of the game.

What happens if a keeper is sent off during a shoot out?

[Suhari]

I fucking love football.

[Sunglasses Ron]

Oh to be a fly on the wall at Ronaldo’s place right now!

Bakuna could have saved that Messi penalty. 
 

EDIT: * Bazunu even autocorrect knows he’s shit.

I'm pretty sure a player has to go on goal. They can't make a sub.

That’s what I wondered, should have sent him off, disgraceful behaviour.

Yeah I don't quite understand how he didn't get one first time. He's a great keeper (too good for Aston Villa) but he's also a bit of a prick.

Called the argies pre tournament. Would rather they hadn’t won it though. 
 

Messi is however the greatest ever

Imagine how much coke would be disappearing up Maradona's nose tonight if he was still alive.

Won them the World Cup. Everyone will be talking about Messi but that save, his save in the pens won it for them. 

[trousers]

Anyone else thinking Saints v Lincoln in a couple of days might be a bit of an anti-climax after this?

Haha I was thinking earlier it’s a good job he’s dead or he’d have been banged up during this tournament.

I believe that in metric it would be 'a fuck-tonne'.
