World Cup Final - Argentina vs France - Sunday 18th December

[Fox92]

Two subs already. France have obviously got an issue. Virus in the camp looks like it is still ongoing.

[TJQuik]

I burst out laughing when I saw those substitutions

[Mike Oxlong]

Puel will be getting the France job to give them a bit of i _ _ e _ s _ t _ _e 

[Jattdogg]

Would love to see a comeback though to make this more exciting. Been all argentina (fair play to them they deserve to be ahead)

[Corky]

Could this commentary be any more patronising to Brighton? I hope Guy Mowbray doesn't find out some of the clubs the 66 boys played for.

Cant blame Southgate for a missed penalty and bad refereeing decisions

But we can blame him for bad substitutions and “game management”.

[MPH]

Brave decision by Didier. Props for that

Can't see Gary mcallister being at Brighton for long now..

Wish he was still playing for us

[Joe90lcfc]

Are France going down as the worse ever team to play in a final?

Vardy isn’t Argentinian though. Stop defending them.

Thing is when Vardy used to trail his leg looking for a foul, think west ham the year we won the league it was universally seen as a dive or initiating contact and no pen. Since then it’s become universally accepted as a pen and Kane is one of the worst for doing it.

[Parafox]

Anyone watching this on ITV.?

 

I'd like to think not

  Most successful English manager of the modern era.

[Corky]

That second goal was wonderful, though. Everything done to perfection.

Not much competition is there.

 

Plus, not winning trophies isn’t success.

France have lost already. They look like Brazil did in 1998, leggy lacking aggression, lacking belief and lacking anything really…. Argentina want this though…

I was honestly just about to make the same observation. Perfect comparison.

[Mike Oxlong]

Yeovil > this France

Just a cheap shot to try and bring Southgate down. . Not his biggest fan but can’t knock his record.

Can’t, I’m not, he’s done better than previous managers but we still haven’t won anything. And, ultimately, success is winning trophies.

[MPH]

Have france hyped up Mbappe too much? Have they put too much pressure on him? Seems completely ineffective today. So far. 

[MattFox]

France playing like a Southgate side trying to defend a 1-0 early lead

Whys this about England?

 

[Jattdogg]

Goal for france before half would be massive

part of it is about what players you have at your disposal though.  We don’t have a Messi, Ronaldo  or an on form Mbappe. We don’t have massive game changers. We have to work hard to get our results. We have no entitlement to success.

[StanSP]

Hope Argentina don't balls this up in 90 like they did against Netherlands.

Mac Allister is a sensational little player. He’s had a quality World Cup. 

And his power tools are ok too.
