Hard to decide who will win the final but hopefully it will be an entertaining game.

I've absolutely no interest in the third pace play-off, I don't know why they even bother.

It's pretty dead even for both games; the team that scores first will win. Messi will go all-out and the French will contain him leaving capable others open. The superb French goalie will be the key and he's been very good.

Jimbuna · 12-15-22, 02:53 PM

Yeah, Lloris has been the best keeper in the tournament.

Aktungbby · 12-17-22, 11:43 AM

Watching an even Croatia- Morocco game: currently Croatia leads 2-1 at 85:27...Now into extra minutes as Morocco gamely attacks for a tieing goal...93:57 in 6+ extra time...and a brilliant centering pass by the wing just got headed just over the net at point-blank range for the Moroccan side; and it's game over-Croatia takes the bronze.

Jimbuna · 12-17-22, 01:51 PM

I doubt many if any other than those from the two countries were really all that interested.

Aktungbby · 12-18-22, 11:24 AM

Yipes! At 57:52 it's Argentina 2 -France 0;...the French passive strategy isn't containing Argentina...and Messi looks like he's enjoying himself! At 79:35, Mbappe has just scored on a direct penalty kick. French dignity is restored at least and an immediate followon second goal!! we're tied at 82:27! It's getting exciting! It's a new ball game now!

Now it is 2:2, after a game where France did virtually nothing.
I do not watch it of course

.

Aktungbby · 12-18-22, 12:03 PM

I 'spect 'twill be a PK shoot-out and the best goalie will decide the fray

; now into 8+ minutes and were at 94:46 as Argentina staves off a wicked French attack at their goalmouth's 2' line.

Aktungbby · 12-18-22, 12:10 PM

Now into 2 15-minute time periods to resolve the tie...at 100:56, France presses the attack in front of the Argentina nets...Now into second 15 min. period as Frenck goalie Lloris gets lucky on a goal shot just wide of the net!

Aktungbby · 12-18-22, 12:32 PM

...just blocks a point blank shot by Messie diving to the pipe to no avail; the Argentina riposte scores! 3-2. at 109:53! Mbeppe scores on a penalty kick for an arm-foul. Tie game, 3 all, at 117:52! IE: how the final should be played in the WC slugfest! I'd like to be a "bug on the wall" when actual pro teammates, Messi and Mbeppe, discuss this day in the lockerroom.

Skybird · 12-18-22, 12:45 PM

First match I watch in this tournament - and then such a match!! Wowh. Just wowh. Most dramatic final I can remember.

Catfish · 12-18-22, 12:55 PM

Win for Argentine – congratulations.

...as predicted: it's the PK shootout...and Argentina just got one! Lloris falters. Argentina gets another! France finally gets one...but Argentina nails a third! "And that's the ball game": 6-4; Argentina takes it. Messi crowns his career with a WC. And my wife, who hates sports but has indulged me all WC-long, immediately changes the channel to White Christmas!?

What a game......!

Bravo to Argentina!

Jimbuna · 12-18-22, 02:35 PM

The best team won and I'm actually quite pleased for Messi.
