Agreed, although I feel bad for Konate to lose both a World Cup final and European cup final in the same year.

Poor bastard, still he'll probably be injured when he comes back though...

[Megadrive Man]

Odds bible on fire today.

 

[sir roger]

France need to jib Deschamps.

Every time they get on top and score, they go back to sitting back and don't try to take advantage.

Boring bastards.

[Dr Nowt]

Amusing seeing the Martinez in the shoot-out complaints. Presumably we’re wanting our final win in Istanbul rescinded. 

[LFC 6 Times]

That was a spiritual experience. Fucking superb, had everything. Messi you deserve it mate.

[El Rojo]

Martinez will probably get something like the Popemobile designed and drive through France in it next week. 

[bossy]

Great game. Villa goalie a complete cunt.

It doesn't count when it's us.

Only the English could bring Geoff Hurst into this discussion.

[KMD7]

You need a goalie like Martinez for a shoot out. Loris was pathetic. 

[Leyton388]

Aguero going full JT here. 

[Pidge]

Macron, desperate for some kind of positive recognition from Mbappe there. Sleazy twat.

Mbappe wanted nothing to do with it.

Country File I bet Tony's watching that.

He's fairly relevant in this one, I'd have thought. 

 

Funny though, the doco about him is apparently titled 'Hurst the First...and Only' 

 

Might have to go back to the editing room. 

[Kevin D]

Shearer also thinks the ref had a good game.

Parallel universe -  Sunak comes down to commiserate and offer support to Bellingham.

I’d feel soiled.

Fuck, I laughed! 

 

The bloke is about to be deified in Argentina. Like he gives a fuck about people calling him a shithouse or cunt.

Loris abysmal looked all of his 36 years.

For 70-odd minutes it was one of the most one-sided finals you could imagine. Then the Argies took off Di Maria and brought on Acuna (I bet that guy had a monobrow until the eve of the tournament), while the French gambled and brought on a couple of extra attackers and put a midfielder at left back. After that, Mbappe was on a mission and the game became very end to end.

 

Mbappe hat-trick plus the Golden Boot, and he still ends up a runner-up. Not helped by Lloris who was not only powderpuff in the shoot-out, but did nothing to help his teammates. Remember Ali in the FA Cup final for us? He grabbed the ball after each Chelsea penalty to make sure he was the one handing it to a teammate before their kick and offering some words of encouragement, eliminating the chance of some mind game bollocks by Chelsea's Mendy. Lloris watched Martinez take the absolute piss and just stood there.

 

Messi has been the best player in the game for the last 15 years. He's won everything he could win at club level, and he's now done the same at international level. He has been part of better Argentina squads, but that's how it sometimes goes.

 

Aguero the pitch invader!

 

Unlucky Ibou. You certainly made an impact for your team in your limited time. However down you might feel now, your fellow Reds will lift you back up.

Every time I watch Dudek's winning save I'm convinced the ref will call for a re-take. He ends up nearer the six yard line.

As if Tony has even found that channel yet.
