The Argentina goalie reminds me of Russell Kane Grin

DuncinToffee · 18/12/2022 17:55

Great game bravo Argentina

burblish · 18/12/2022 17:56

Congratulations Argentina - overall, the right result. (But I am now feeling a bit sick because I am genuinely worried that the French players who missed could face racist abuse - please let the French public be less imbecilic than some of the English were last year.)

Very interesting world up! Bring on 2026😊

AnneShirleysNewDress · 18/12/2022 17:57

So happy for Messi

burblish · 18/12/2022 18:03

It’s rather fabulous that Brighton and Villa both have World Cup winners in their ranks 😃

JaneJeffer · 18/12/2022 18:05

I don't see how they deserve it any more than France but I'm happy for MacAllister 🇮🇪

WhiteHartLane · 18/12/2022 18:08

Unbelievable match to end with. Well done Argentina and you cant not be happy for Messi.

Absolute shithousery from Martinez 😂

MarshaBradyo · 18/12/2022 18:10

I didn’t realise they hadn’t won for a while

I’m really happy for them, the celebrations will be huge

JaneJeffer · 18/12/2022 18:17

Look at the weather in Buenos Aries 😭

xalo · 18/12/2022 18:58

Sad it's all over but the best World Cup ever imo (on the pitch)
Can't wait for the Euros nowSmile

YouOnlyCameToSeeEboue · 18/12/2022 19:07

Wow, that turned into a very exciting game!

Did anyone else notice Aguero going for the full John Terry?

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 18/12/2022 19:08

Feels weird it's over! So much talk over the years about where and when it was hosted...and it's now been and gone! Time flies.

Was exciting though and least the final wasn't dull! Looked one sided them bam...

Willmafrockfit · 18/12/2022 19:09

that was so exciting.
gutted for france
but happy for argentina
surprised it is 1986 their last win, i thought it was far more recent.

xalo · 19/12/2022 08:09

What a shame that Martinez spoilt the moment with his obscenity. And for those who think it was funny think about the thousands of children watching their 'hero'.

I certainly dont think the way he acted at the end with his trophy was funny in the slightest, it was cringeworthy and in very bad taste.
I was referring to his dancing earlier in the game to put off the French penalty takers.

xalo · 19/12/2022 09:09

@WhiteHartLane
Yes I realised that you were discussing his antics during the pens Smile

Antigonads · 19/12/2022 10:05

Folk moaning about the World Cup being held in winter - there was a commentator on R4 this morning from Buenos Aries saying how strange it felt to be summer and everyone could be out in just their football shirts.

Oh no - the BBC reports that Conan and Tchoumeni are being racially abused after missing their pens in the shoot out, just as I feared. Absolutely sickening.
