When we went out I didn’t say to myself I wouldn’t watch any more, it’s just I’ve had nowt better to do. The worst thing about France winning tonight is there’s a tinge of me wanting Argentina to win it. Which in my lifetime I never thought I’d say! (Yes I’m a bitter twat about last Saturday night!)

Enjoyable tournament, they should make it in the northern winter more often 👹 From a footballing point of view, it has been a very enjoyable tournament. There's been some great games, I don't think there's much argument in that. It does help that the majority of the players are in the midst of their season's, at peak fitness and not knackered after a long season. In a way, it's a little disappointing that it's been so good as FIFA will obviously be flaunting things to justify their position. But it still shouldn't have taken place there as we know, for a myriad of reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrolMong Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I have genuinely enjoyed it. Yes, it lost a bit of lustre after us losing to France. But the two semis have been good contests despite the scorelines saying other wise, there has been drama, and some upsets, and we could have a fairytale finish (and the closing of the book) on the greatest player of this generation debate if Messi and Argentina do it. I’m not a fan of either team, but, I do want Argentina to do it, for Messi, but I think they have looked the more convincing of the two teams against better opposition.

Hirstys 12th Pint Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Personally just not felt this World Cup and probably the one I have watched least games but more down to kick off times and just being busy. Caught both semi finals and enjoyed them. I want Argentina to win for definite. Always had a soft spot for them regardless of Political issues due to the first game I really watched being the Mario Kempes inspired ticker tape final in 1978. Also still believe Maradona to be the greatest player ever and Messi the best of the last 25 years. Plus they have my favourite kit ever.

Mark Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Can't say I'm keen on either. Can they both lose?

KrolMong Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Incredible game. Picking between Argentina and France was like picking between AIDS and AIDS. But, I am pleased for Messi who seals the deal of being the greatest of this generation. With Mbappe, who I dislike, becoming the king in waiting. Thats what you want in a final. And how goes was Emil Martinez. That save in the last minute won the World Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptimisticOwl Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) I've only just calmed down after yesterday's thriller at Hillsborough, then that cup final happens! Had a tenner on Mbappe for the Golden Boot and resisted the temptation to cashout on numerous occasions at around £45/£50. Thought I'd blown it when Messi got his 2nd, then Mbappe got the 2nd penalty... £90 to me!
