Brazil right now, watching argentinians showing how its done:
Why would the final not be close? How do you know that?
Argentina deserves it! since their loss to Saudi Arabia, they have been playing good football.
Not going to happen in most corners though.
Been impressed with Mac Allister, de Paul, Molina, and their CBs with Martinez. Say what you want about them like Otamendi or Romero, but they have done so well and not made any mistakes. Romero can be trouble at the back w Spurs, but solid this tournament.
1950 final wasn't really a final either I think. Just was the last group game that happened to have a World Cup riding on it
Get over what? He's a massive cnut.
Hard to take it seriously you hate messi that much. Tell me a Mrs. joke, I will believe you.
Morocco actually winning this would be a story for the centuries. Not just a relative minnow actually winning world cup for first time since 1950 but Belgium-Portugal-Spain-France-Argentina would be one of the hardest routes to win the trophy in history.
So yeah not going to happen is it.
Croatia left everything in the match vs Brazil.
Lisandro has been low key excellent since coming on.
Argentina's second half has been class. Even the passing from midfield, they look like a proper team. Till now it seemed it was 7 destroyers, 1 runner, Messi, and a finisher.
Modric
Haha Argentina playing with 10 men. Messi has checked out
I think Morocco have a great chance against France
Yeah, but they already did that 4 years ago!
They didn't win though. They drew and then cane through the lottery of penalties. It may lead to the same outcome (going through) but it's not the same thing.
I'm not trying to detract from Croatia's achievement, which is doubtless extrodinary, but the fact is Brazil had that game win and threw it away.
Bye penalty merchants, good job Argies, now I can look forward to final.
Not as depressing as the Germany Brazil final in 2002, but this has still been a bit of an anticlimax for the final..
Matterface with his pre-rehearsed attempt at some iconic commentary.
Congratulations Argentina.
I'm a bit worried about their injury list, I think France is a bridge too far for them. I'm sure they won't disgrace themselves, but I'd be absolutely shocked if they won.
that’s debatable in this case imo. Keeper didn’t just walk out, he went into an attempted tackle/block. Alvarez chipped the shot so keeper stopped preemptively which led to the foul.
It’s harsh on the keeper but it’s not a controversial decision like some of the posters are claiming.
Argentina won’t let it slip, and Messi will not lose his last final. It’s too good of a narrative not to happen.
The incessant need to bring him up in a thread that has nothing to do with him. He's no longer a United problem yet everyone here can't get over their massive hate-boner for him. It's just weird. It's like this forums obsession with Lukaku when he left.
Depends what backline they can put out. If it's a scratch one like they finished with v Portugal then France will stick 2-3 past them.
With injury and extra time totted up they've basically played one extra game so fatigue will also play a part.
Would love to see it though. Morocco-Argentina would be an insane atmosphere!
2 of your top 3 favourites is an anti-climax? 90% predictions had the winner of (
Great performance by Argentina. Congrats to them and Messi on reaching the final. Congrats to Croatia for an incredible achievement. Probably Modric's last World Cup (though I wouldn't bet on it with the level he's still capable of reaching).
Yeah, don't worry, I don't really.
France are a better team and I don't see how Argentina can stop Mbappe.
For years I thought, after we scored it was just defending for 80 minutes but looking back we honestly could of scored 3 goals.
Well that was an utter shite match
He's been brilliant every time he's played.
Look like Argentina' winning this Worldcup.
France is good but their defenders are clueless. Morocco? They have mountains to climb.

Awful game. Tomorrow will be same.
My favourite of the night
This. If France have learned something of plenty under Didier Deschamps, both as a player then and as a manager now, it would be the know-how to win matches in a very pragmatic way.
Still expecting France to win it, I'd love for Argentina to take it home though.
