I think the winner of this game probably will win it all. Don't think that Argentina can handle the pace and size on both teams.

Not totally sure on that as Argentina play a cagey game - but they do have Otamendi and any team with him in the side is vulnerable. Should be a good final.

[Bovidae]

Argentina were also vulnerable when the Netherlands put the ball into the box, and Giroud is the perfect target.

[mariner4life]

Morocco were fantastic but lacked that little bit of quality.

The French are fucking good though, watch how quickly the move and organise to snuff out threats. They are very happy to just sit back as well, which i think makes England's performance to force those errors even more meritable.

[broughie]

@KiwiPie not diminishing Argentina, but I think the pace and skill in the French forwards might be the difference although you could question the French defense. Will be a good game though.

[broughie]

@Bovidae although they wouldn't go amiss with the three they finished the game with with Mbappé in the center.

I just realised that the final is going to be 4am rather than 8am NZT. Dumb, I'd been enjoying the 8am timeslot.

Yep. It makes the decision not to watch the 3rd/4th game live easy.

Disrespectful to the 2 countries hosting the next FIFA World Cup to have the final at such a stupid time on a Monday morning.

1am AEST? They'll have to do it without me.

France sick and off the pace.

2-0 to Argentina at the break.

France need a miracle.

Nice to see MacAllister get his chance at revenge against France all these years after that wild drop goal attempt.
