Actually, never mind, disallowed 

Arsenal lead, Saka with the goal

Not that he'll give a shit in sure, but his dink should be in the replays of Miggy's goal, was an absolute delight and really set him on his way. Seems all the replays I've seen start with the ball already at Miggy's feet.

 

 

 

Replay should really start with Bruno doing the Zizou roulette 

Game over

Nunez did well for that goal

Remember the clamour on here for Unai Emery?  Lest we forget (smug face).

Never mind that. I still remember the grief he was getting in January. Some crazy comments at that time.

Nunez finishing is shocking

Wtf was that from Nunez

And again

They'll easily go on to win this now 

Classic Spurs, play defensive, boring football but step it up when they are losing 

Get in

Thought that should have been a pen to Spurs

It'll never happen because he seems to want to maximise his income but a spell at Newell's would be amazing. Especially now he has fully won over the Argentine public.

 

 

 

I have no knowledge of their football but would joining one team not possibly annoy fans of rival clubs?

Or would having the goat in their league just supersede that?

I think it's a combination of him being slightly mad and taking the comments Mbappe made about South American countries a bit too seriously and as a dig when I don't think it was

Great World Cup but I'm still gutted we lost against Morocco.

 

Bring that Euro on.

Portugal your team?

What's the feeling on Ronaldo in Portugal? Want him to call it a day and thank him for all he's done or keep going?

Look at the bright side, we’ve cut 6 months into the next one. 1.5 years until the Euro’s and then we go again! 

Plus Copa America will be on at the same time, right?

Actually looked at it again and I think he does head it but the swing of the arm just makes it look that way

Just seen footage that makes it look like Upamecano handballs before Montiel on the last pen. Not seen another angle like but seems a big miss by VAR if the case.

 

 

 

Just seen that as well, doesn't even look debateable so not sure how they missed that

Unless like you say it's just that one angle makes it look that way

Best World Cup final and also the best World Cup I've seen. USA 94 will always remain my favourite as it's the one I can properly remember and also didn't really have a team that I badly wanted to win whereas the latter stages of this was nerves as I wanted Messi to win it. 

I am looking forward to the 2026 World Cup as it's back to the first one I remember but FIFA need to get the format right otherwise it will be a mess and potentially very dull. 

Best/Favourite match: Final

Best/Favourite goal: Richarlison v Serbia

Best/Favourite player: Messi

Best/Favourite moment for your team: Rashford free kick

Best/Favourite 'other' moment: Morocco in general and also seeing their players celebrate with their families, Boufal and his mam dancing was class. Plus seeing Ronaldo have a crap tournament. 

Worst/Least favourite moment/anything: Bruno missing his chances in that game and then doylems slating him

Also I know it's been said but Emi Martinez should get a knighthood or whatever equivalent they have in Argentina, whilst Messi was clearly their best player he was there in those big moments

That save from Kuol to stop it going into extra time. Then delivering in the shoot out against the Netherlands. Then the save right at the death from Muani was ridiculous and then finally in the shoot out. He delivered in big moments for them. 

Still absolutely buzzing, it just feels right that Messi has a World Cup winners medal. Like someone had mentioned earlier I couldn't fully enjoy the game because of how badly I wanted Messi to win it, when it looked like they had bottled it on a couple of occasions I was devastated, only Newcastle losses have made me feel worse when it comes to sport. 

I didn't expect them to do it, not cos of Messi but didn't trust their defence when it came to moments. They were cruising that game until that Otamendi moment but we saw that fragility a few times in the tournament.

For me there was never a debate but this just ends it. It was often said Ronaldo's greatest achievement was being compared to Messi and history will show that to be the case.

Though the last hour or so wasn't enjoyable that's the best WC final I have watched by a country mile and it is the best WC I have seen (USA 94 being the first will probably always remained favourite) .

If I was a betting man then France will win with Messi missing his penalty

This isn't over

France will score another 

Lautaro the new Higuain

Argentina have been brilliant and fully deserved to be 2-0

 

But we've seen Argentina have shown vulnerability in the second half so this game is far from over, especially if France go route 1
