    Yeah, I think he could easily have dished out a few more cards, but he's tried to keep it flowing.

    Yeah, agree with that.

    Think his general game management has been very even and fair though.

    Well, whatever happens in the shootout, you have to say both teams have put on a brilliant game for the final.

    So during Southgate’s tenure; we’ve played 24 matches against teams ranked in the FIFA top 10. We’ve won 4 of them. That’s ****ing abysmal.

    Best World Cup final I’ve ever seen. Forget the first 70 mins. It was absolutely brilliant.

    They actually started coming back into the game a bit when they made the first substitutions after 40mins of the first half. You have to admire Deschamps for trying to use his substitutes to change the game. Very different to Southgate throwing on two players who had been dropped as they weren't performing in previous games and thinking that will somehow make a difference.

    ITV,

    the BBC was utter garbage, the way they were fawning over Messi and Argentina was shocking,
    I was disappointed big style with Shearer, the way he was kissing Argie arse

    A World Cup thread. And it didn’t even touch the sides when comparing to the take over thread.

    I’m gonna throw it out there and say that until Messi does it on a cold winters night at stoke he can’t be deemed the goat.
