I'm glad I only watch football during the big tournaments

I need a sherry and a lie down after watching that WC final.

My nerves wouldn't be able for this caper week in and week out during
the football season.

It's never THAT exciting week in, week out and we only watched the last 10 minutes of normal time, last 4 minutes of extra time and the penalties!!

Same. I only watch Euros and World Cup.
I didn't even have any skin in the game but was being incredibly annoying and squealy.

I'm the same. I wasn't sure if I'd get into this game because I didn't mind who won but what a game! I wish they were all as exciting as that.

I mean I have to watch youth league football every Sunday so yes the world cup is a treat 😂 What a game. Great football.

Ha yes we have a pro footballer in the family and OMG THE PENALTIES 🥵🥵🥵

DH is Argentine, he's exhausted!!

I agree OP. It was fucking exhausting watching them. Plus my throat hurts from shouting.

So many amazing moments. I loved it when they cut to Macron in the crowd looking delighted but also completely shocked by Mbappe's second goal. That poor lad collapsing as well. Oof, he just couldn't stand up any more.

So glad Argentina won! Very exciting game.

Your man giving out medals looks like Mick Lynch. Who is he?

I had to walk out of the room several times. Really wanted les bleus to win but an amazing match.

Gianni Infantino, head of FIFA and as corrupt as all hell.

Gianni Infantino, président of FIFA

Best World Cup final. Hands down.

Mbappe is something special. And he’s not even started yet.

Oh yes ofc. Thank you.

Awe, Messi in his wee negligee. He's a cracking player really.

And standing on a box!

he's the fanny who made that arse clenchingly awful speech at the beginning of the tournament.

he must be emotionally spent after all that!

You’re missing the real fun. 0-0 draws in half-empty stadiums on freezing cold, rainy Tuesday nights are where it’s at.

I'm recovering from that horrid cold going around and I forgot for a moment. Now I feel shattered! I've seen some pretty exhausting derby county games though lol

SO happy for Messi

It was his last chance

TBF the WC final is usually very dull 😆

Surely.90 mins of excitement once a fortnight isn't unmanageable 😆

I missed why he put his nightie on. Please tell me!

(Replies to self, so as to hopefully not look like a racist arse)

It was a Qatari robe.

What a wonderful match!

A dream final. V.rarely like that. 2 teams who wanted to win not just happy to be there.
