The Final
Argentina
1-0 Griezmann
What a surprise to see the two teams that received the most help from the refs meet in the final.
Mbappe vs Messi. Fitting end to this tournament
Think France will win.. Been second best for much of both knock out ties and had plenty of luck…
Seems to be written they will retain in!

97% Italians supporting Argentina and the rest are French or spies. 
Messi will cement his legacy as the GOAT.
Messi vs Mbappe. Both carry both of their teams, France with a better supporting cast. Hope Argentina get an early goal, because France with a lead is a miserable watch
Martinez v Varane.
I want him buried.
Let's go France
Let's go France
Want Argentina to win for Messi (and Martinez) but it will be a really difficult game for them. France are such a powerful team.
Argentina win, inspired by Messi.
Hopefully a Argentina win.
It will be interesting to see if the French change strategy as there’s no way they can sit back and let Messi have so much of the ball.

France will win it, they seem to just scrape through games.
Too many match winners even if they're playing average at times.
Morocco out played them today, but... France will show up for the final you'd feel.
I can't see France not winning it.

Not a bad CB duo in Martinez and Varane at all aye?
Manchester United, Tottenham, Atletico Madrid and Juventus are guaranteed a World Cup winner.
Argentina Vs France. Argentinas weak midfield will be their demise. Even with Messi magic it will not be enough. Clear France win.
Thought that the winner of the France/England game would win it all and I've seen nothing since to change my mind
The Argentina side of the draw was incredibly poor

PSG too, how could you forget about them
Too close to call but Argentina to win & Messi cements himself as the GOAT.
I only mentioned the teams with recognisable players.PSG too, how could you forget about them
Hope Messi gets his World Cup and after France's last two games I think it looks more likely as well. Intriguing final.
I want Argentina to win just because of GOAT Messi.
Messi deserves to win a WC beating a big nation, Morocco would have made it too easy for Argentina.

It's a 50/50 game, and very likely to go to extra time.
If France takes the lead first, that would be game over for Argentina imo.
Argentina 2 France 0
Messi goal and Messi assist
Wins best player, top scorer and assister. Then close all Messi / Ronaldo threads and fire them in the fecking sun

France under Deschamps:
WC14 - out in QF to champions
Euro16 - finalist
WC18 - winner
Euro20 - R16 on pens (only bad result)
WC22 - final again
Whatever happens Sunday I might dislike his game but he’s getting fantastic results. Might be GOAT for NTs.

I'm never counting out Messi, not in his current form. 50-50 for me
Argentina will win it with a dodgy penalty. France look shaky.
Also won the Nations league, for what it's worth
France better be more organized defensively on Sunday because Messi and Alvarez won't bottle chances like Morocco did today
4-3 Argentina
I feel like Argentina have the muscle to punish France where England and Morocco didn’t. Croatia rode their luck against Brazil and Japan like France have in these past two games but no team punished them until Argentina. I just can’t see France getting a clean sheet.
Any excuse to post this
Let's do that regardless of the final.
1-1 and penalties … so boringly predictable.
If France give up the same number of big chances they did to England & Morocco then I cannot see Messi & Alvarez bottling it imo.
Can we actually lock the Messi vs Ronaldo threads if Messi wins it please?
Would say put it in the classics but don’t think that’d be appropriate.
