Winning it in Brazil, slightly past his peak would be incredible and would shut up a number of idiots who trot out the ‘can’t be the goat because he hasn’t won for Argentina’. Still can’t see it as Brazil are a far better team but I’d absolutely love it

Yeah, she’s two and a half years old. My wife and I alternate each night with bath duties

Can’t really focus right now, got a bath with my daughter from 7-8 but I just want to watch the build up

Pure class

Eurgh

These pens are getting better and better

Fair play Thiago, makes up for coming on and playing like a donkey

Fucking hell, awful

Olmo will surely put it away

Love Chiellini like

Italy to win here, more composed finishing and the better keeper

Prediction: Thiago to leather a penalty into the sun

Thiago’s been shite since coming on, like Gerrard with the Hollywood ball setting on

Italy came for the win, stayed for the shithousery

Toloi gunning for a red in extra time, already done two yellow card fouls. Got off lightly on the first

Morata would piss me off as a Spain fan. Can’t handle a striker who blows properly hot and cold

Pens here please, honestly don’t know who I’d rather face in a final out of these two. If Spain could finish they’d absolutely do us

Brilliant

Hahaha, Spain

Chiesa is so good at getting a yard of space to get a shot off

Ducking great goal and brilliant last ten minutes. The rest of this match will be class as even if Italy sit back, Spain will move it so well that they’ll have chances

Pedri’s already a great player, going to be one of the best of his generation. So assured on the ball and always finds the right ball

Spain moving it too quickly for Italy, vintage through the middle but the final third is the weakest they’ve been in decades

Messi seems happy, up for it and the Argentina team are seemingly in a better place than over the last few years. Really hope they can win it but it’s very hard to bet against Brazil at home

Sure, it’s a horrific impact but if he wanted to play that ball, that was his only way of playing it from his body position. There was no intent at all but fair enough, the guy’s leg’s fucked so you have to try to stop things like that happening. I just think it’s a really unfortunate one
