    Martinez capping off a perfect shithouse performance for a shithouse team. Amazing game.

    Word for Kolo Muani who single handedly dragged them back into the game (don't believe the Mbappe hype).
    Mbappe wouldn’t have missed that sitter at the end though.

    He hit it well, it was a good save.

    Mbappe or Messi and I'd probably give it to the latter given he's lifting the trophy.

    This was a good shout. Probably one of the worst goalkeeping shootout efforts I've ever seen. All bar the last one were pretty much straight at him.

    It was obviously Messi. Mbappe wasn’t great in the QF or Semis.

    He just doesn’t look very intimidating at all. He’s probably about 6ft2 but he looks 5ft8 and weighs 8st with wet clothes on. I’m not sure why or how he’s managed to swindle getting a game at the highest level for so long.

    That France team must have been ridiculously young that finished the game. I was wondering why they weren’t letting an experienced head go up and take one but I’m not sure there was anyone over the age of 25 at the end of it

    I find this is the case for Allisson as well. He just never looks likely to save a penalty, although I would imagine his record is decent and he's otherwise very imposing. Dida on the other hand looked enormous in the goal.

    Their #2 is fucking Steve Mandanda and he would qualify as a fossil these days.

    Is Etienne Green English or could they have him? No idea if he's any good. Guess they could have nicked Mendy when he was destitute. Lolris is just the case in point why Gareth Deschamps is a water carrying chancer.

    Martinez looks the perfect build and confidence for a penalty. Lloris too small and that Dutch policeman was just too tall. 6ft7, you’re not getting down quick enough to make a save at that height.

    Mike Maignan has been the top keeper in the world these past two years after Allison and doesn’t get a look in. Shambles.
