Save of the tournament
What a f*cking miss omfg
It’s not just the best World Cup final ever, it’s simply one of the greatest games of football that’s ever been played.
Best World Cup final of my lifetime.
Pens
Well Mbappe and/or Messi are missing here
Going to penalties. Wow.
This match is insane....
Hope Kolo Muani doesnt take a penalty.
Has to be the greatest game of football of all time , never seen anything like this
Or it could be a case of not getting to take one, Neymaresque
I'm neutral and my nerves are still gone
Great final. But the ref was the star for me. So even handed. He really handled the game brilliantly.
Enzo Fernandez is some player!!!!
What a game. Best final ever.
I'd favour Argentina on pens tbh. Think that Kolo Muani chance may have been the one.
Extra time was just incredible. Hoped Messi had won it, but not to be. Hopefully they can do it on penos.
Best extra time in years
When it comes to the Martinezes I'd be giving Emi a penalty before Lautaro, he can't hit anything
Has to be said, Lautaro is a donkey. Almost bottled Messi's goal by not squaring it and taking a shot from a wide angle instead, and then one of the worst headers I've ever seen 🤣
Just hope it's not a bout of Spanish-Japanese penos here
I felt neither of the 1st 2 were penalties but aside from that he has been excellent....
That header from Lautaro Martinez after the great save the other end was horrific.
France going first
Ian wright going for Argentina on penalties because Mbappe is brilliant. You wot Ian?
Expect some proper Martinez sh1thousing
Mbappe has already scored 2. 3 in a final is just mental and seems impossible.
Quite a few defenders would be proud of it.
well Mbappe has done all he can
Fair play Mbappe.....just
