I think banning a stuttered run up to penalties needs to be seriously considered. It so significantly disadvantages the goalie.

Also never a penalty. There’s no contact until Di Maria has already thrown himself from his feet.

That was always a penalty.

Enzo Fernandez and Rodrigo de Paul are absolutely bossing this France midfield.

[Chris2K]

Oh my what a move. This is only going one way.

Starting to feel like a coronation 

[Baddar]

One of the goals of the tournament that

What a counter, what a goal

He makes no contact until Di Maria is already on his way to the floor. I can see why it was given but I find it frustrating it was.

That goal was excellent.

[Szumi]

Wow. Double sub coming for France

[Chris2K]

Damn, double change before half time. Deschamps ain't messing around.

[gunnar hendershow]

Deschamps taking the assistant's advice in FM right now.

[Szumi]

Netherlands got back into the game bullying Argentina by going direct. France taking off their best target man doesn't seem like a great choice.

[METALMAN]

Lol France.

[Lowerdeck]

Subbing out Giroud already seems a bit odd

I think they're going to try counter pressing and then just pray Mbappe can do something magical... twice.

[Szumi]

France just look so slow to everything. I'm wondering how bad the virus is going through the squad. They look exhausted.

[Twist]

France are playing like they’ve accepted they’re the NPCs in Messi’s story.

Clear penalty and a great second goal, and I'm not just saying that because it's put me top of my own predictor...

Having seen that closer replay I’m very wrong on that penalty.

[GoGo Yubari]

it's too early in the morning for me to have to listen to Alexi Lalas American football this up.

I can't get over that Argentina might win the World Cup with a Brighton player as one of their key/best players and an Aston Villa player in goal.

Have players currently a member of either of those clubs ever won a World Cup before?

First time a Villa player has played in a final. Assume the same for Brighton?
