    It's hard to know how to hand these things out.

    The biggest reason Argentina won (other than a virus) - Messi.

    The biggest reason the result was 3-3 - Mbappe.

    The actual player who changed the game and made this a contest - Kolo Muani.

    Greatest game of football I’ve ever seen, had absolutely everything and both went for it right until penalties. That’s how football should be played.

    This France team could win everything the next few years mind with the young players coming through.

    That's some serious straws you are clutching at there

    So arguably one of the greatest world cup games ever and within 2 minutes of the final whistle you post conspiracy theories.

    How about just enjoying the last 2 hour spectacle

    It was ****e for 75 minutes mind <laugh> France were unable to compete until they got enough young, energetic players on the pitch. There's no doubt at all in my mind that the virus was a major factor in their performance.

    This is the whole thing about cup competitions though. You have to take your chance when it comes. Argentina managed to avoid Brazil and played a weakened French side and took full advantage.

    There's the "Who's the best, Messi or Ronaldo" argument put to bed. Personally I prefer Ronaldo but Messi has managed to win the World Cup, dodgy as f**k or not, he has that medal. Won everything except the Pappa Johns.

    Can't help but think that the French side were very very off today. It'll come out in dsys and weeks that all wasn't well in the French squad health wise. And to add to that, it's a massive shame Aid Durham gets to see stuff like that live, because he's a massive c**t.

    Referee was great as well. Refs that good dont need or want VAR.

    Disagree with this. I don't even think he was in the top 2 players for Argentina. Di Maria and McAllister were superb tonight

    Maybe now the Argies will idolise Messi instead of that cokehead cheating dwarf.

    There was nothing dodgy about that game like.

    Both were definite penalties, just like it was a definite dive from Thuram. Goals were all fine, nothing controversial there. The ref was brilliant, as was the whole game.

    You get the luck of the draw, England have had it quite a bit recently and completely wasted it.

    The only dodgy thing about the tournament was the fact it was awarded to Qatar in the first place.
