Can't be doing with either the French or Argies. Happy for Messi and that's about it, and watching Macron the hobbit on the stage with a face like a slapped arse.
The Final: Argentina vs France
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Your prayers were answered!
Positives from this Argentina win:
1. Argentina reivindicates South America’s pedigree in football. The cup is back to our sub continent after 20 and a half years.
2. The greatest player of our generation, and second greatest of all time after Pele, finally won the World Cup. And being the best player of his team and of the tourney, not a free rider.
3. Our boy Licha, getting the biggest piece of silverware out there.
4. Argentina demonstrated that grit and chemistry can win you cups. They are a team in all sense of the word.
Negatives from this:
1. cnuts as Dibu, Paredes and the snake being world champions. Dibu is a top keeper on his NT shirt, but is a classless cnut.
Anyway, FELICITACIONES ARGENTINA Y HERMANOS ARGENTINOS BIEN JUGADO Y BIEN GANADO @Pocho @IFC 1905

That’s my biggest criticism of Scaloni. Trusting that has been over Licha, nonsense!Yup the intelligent think to do would have been to back your keeper (in the event that the attacker gets one on target).
Otamendi is an accident waiting to happen for the national side (irregardless if the fact he's bizarrely rock solid 99% of the time) and it's amazing that he's managed to give away a dumb pen in the world cup final and will still come home as a hero.
That’s why I have never rated him, inconsistent, poor mentality, lacks end product, goes missing on big games. He is the most overrated player ever. I don’t understand why some folks over here dream about this pecho frío.
We have a winner. Placed on Bellinghams head by Donald Trump himself.
Well they were cheering Morocco in Gaza because they believed in the same made up man in the sky as them. You can't decide some prejudices are harmless fun and others aren't. In the immortal words of Gorr the God Butcher in Thor... "You liked it a second ago."
The World Cup minus the primitive tribal hatreds of the various monkeys who overpopulate this rock is just millionaires kicking a piece of leather round a field for no reason.
Just reading an article and found out today is Qatars ”National Day”.
They were always playing this in Winter and with the final on Dec 18th weren’t they?

I told you all that Di Maria was a world class player. Incredible morons supporting Van Garbage and his destruction of United.
Why be a twat?
Was the best WC final I can remember (back to ‘86).
Had pretty much everything.
Finals are usually pretty boring affairs but this was genuinely gripping at least from 75 mins onwards.
50/50 game.

I'm french and I don't really mind, it's just banter. We did the same thing with our chants in 2018 (ciao Messi, n'golo Kante pocketing Messi...)
Dibu Martínez is a classless cnut… but goof at what he does.
What hasn’t been mentioned is Deschamps’ amazing management of the game. When he subbed out Griezmann, I thought France was waving a white flag. Instead, his substitution helped even the score up. France had its chances in extra time and Lloris was fantastic.
That cloak is absolutely hilarious, truly destroyed what should have been an iconic moment
Has to be among the most stupid things written in this thread.
Don't know if that had anything to do with the subs. Argentina was exhausted and France still needed a penalty out of nowhere and a world class finish to get into the game. If this was a FIFA 23 match, I would have been sure it was scripted, the way everything was going France's way.
Then they had roughly 15 minutes in which they overran Argentina just to be on the backfoot once again.
He's a massive twat, simple as. You only need one look at his match-day toddler haircut to tell you that. Probably an ego thing cause Mbappe slotted 3 pens in one game in basically the same corner. If you can't enjoy winning the WC without having a pop at your opponents, then what is wrong with you? Having said that, Mbappe and PSG squad doing the Haaland celebration comes to mind...
It's par for the course for the entire Argentina squad in fairness. The squad is full of the types of character you love in your team, but hate in the opposition. Remind me alot of Atletico, you have to begrudgingly respect them. Without Messi, they would be a hard watch.
Can't deny them this win though. They basically had knock-out games the whole tournament after the Saudi Arabia loss. Shows some serious character.
His team mates should be fuming with that. Vintage Otamendi, can’t hold his concentration for 90 minutes and does his absolute best to feck it up for his team
really? What I think is that it was a top notch display from Argentina for the first 70 minutes straight
oh come on
Cost them the equaliser vs Holland too, he's an absolute clown and always has been.
Yeah, they played well, but France weren't in the game at all until that penalty, it was more like a team that just couldn't wait for it to be over. If Otamendi wasn't a total idiot, it probably fisnishes 2-0 and we'd most likely be saying France didn't show up, for 79 mins it was the most lifeless showing I've seen from a team in a final in a long long time.
yeah, but I chalk that to the job that De Paul, Di Maria, Messi, Fernandez, plus all the others, where able to pull off for seventy minutes straight, and that was a joy to watch for a neutral.
Bit desperate
He was the one that lost Kolo Muani for that last minute save too. He was the leader in that defence and somehow deserved to start ahead of Martinez, but you always know he has those moments in him…
Mbappe - 4 effing goals in the final and no trophy
What the feck
What the feck
Likeable French team. Insane intensity from Argentina in the first half. Some right prats attracted to this thread. If you don’t like France or Argentina and can’t respect two great performances crawl back under your rock. No one cares.
exactly, those chants mean nothing in the locker room
Most overrated player ever?
Yea well you shouldntve done they are the actions of a young teenager..
Di Maria being a World Cup winner is not sitting right with my spirit
Just watching the highlights again now. Astonishing how Argentina managed their ride out their luck not losing it at the end of normal time and the end of extra time. There was Mbappe's deflected shot, Rabiot's shot that nearly fell to Upamacano and Muani's two chances in those crazy final seconds of extra time. That last one from Muani will haunt him for a long time though, a calmer head and a pass to Mbappe instead of the volley and it's won. Any of them taken and Argentina wouldn't have enough time.
Ah that was such a good World Cup. No sporting event comes close really.
Wow, what a final!
France showed the importance of execution given they came within a whisker of winning a tournament in which they were outplayed in the QF, SF and Final.
A tougher Argentina team allowed Messi the comfort to do his thing and he was amazing all tournament along, his playmaking is so incredible I wouldn't rule him out being able to still contribute at the next one. Impossible to compare eras of football as so much in the rules and competition structure has changed but this puts him unquestionably as the best player of his generation.The shame was Maradona not being there to celebrate with them, would have been iconic.
Second best world cup of my lifetime, 98 set an extremely high benchmark.

That was sexy.
That last second save from Martinez was insane.
