[Football] World Cup - The Final ….. finally.

[Cheshire Cat]

Penalties don't count.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

well done Qatar you put on a sensational show

I'm not detecting any facetiousness in that comment...

The added bonus of Guendouzi looking like that.

Ali Mac "an absolute superstar"

I’m not sure anyone is anti Messi except Cristiano Ronaldo superfans - and this is hardly the forum for that.

What is/was annoying was when, for example, they lost to Saudi Arabia and he played a five yard pass in his own half and the commentators raved for ages about him.

There were people here during this WC who said they didn’t get the Messi thing and loathed commentators/pundits in a Messi wankfest.

Obviously didn’t watch Barca in the La Liga and CL for 15 years.

Ah, but did you know that West Ham once won the World Cup?

And now Brighton have

 

[1066familyman]

Forgive my ignorance. Who is the bloke on the podium next to Macron?

Obviously Argentinian. He's doing bloody well holding it all together as he's in pieces.

And i stand by it, Falklands mean nothing to me, and I know many many French people who I would have to deal with the smugness on a daily basis

In that case I'd like to hope that the Falkland islanders would willingly accept their new rulers so that you don't have to confront Smugness every day. No one should have to come up against French smugness on a regular basis.

I hope that one day French Smugness is recognised for what it is, and, tackled head on. Until then, sadly, you are fighting a battle for your cause to be recognised. I hope you find peace. God speed.

As an aside, Facundo (#prayforwarren) Buonanotte will benefit from having a world cup winning fellow countryman at the club, if only for a few months.

 

[Marty___Mcfly]

Did they just put Messi in a net curtain cape?

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Why have they dressed him up as Lionel of Arabia?

Get over yourself, it was f***ing hyperbole.

Good

I'd refuse that shit

 

[AmexRuislip]

Why is Messi having to wear a negligee

 

[KZNSeagull]

Infantino really needs to learn when to eff off out of it.

 

[Marty___Mcfly]

I think Qatar pay his PSG wages so that was effectively his boss telling him to put a costume on. Humiliating but I can see why he agreed.

 

[GT49er]

You have to wonder WTF were Arsenal playing at, could hardly wait to palm off Martinez to Villa (although TBF they've got a decent keeper in, but spectacularly failed to appreciate what they already had).

 

[jimhigham]

Damn it. Got to get back to work. I take it I can trust one of you guys to post a picture of our boy holding the trophy a little later?
