    The commentators on BBC were talking about the FIFA rankings there (Argentina third, France fourth) and I looked them up to see who was first and second. Brazil are top and fucking Belgium are still second. How?

    VAR should overturn this. What a glorious dive.

    Dive, but so poor from Dembele to give the ref the chance.

    Nah, but even before that. They only made it to the quarters of the Euros last year.

    It looks a bit divey but Dembele looked guilty as fuck. He knows he’s done enough to give it away.

    Think it's a bit more due to Messi who actually put the ball in the net.

    Dembele was stupid enough to catch him in the process of the dive.

    It was a penalty, he's just dived to make sure he gets it.

    Goal puts some spice into the game which is good for the 'neutral'.

    Yeah France were way too passive, so I think this will make for a better game.

    This feels a bit like the 1998 final except France are playing the part of Brazil.

    Greek commentator just said the exact same thing so you should be getting paid for this evidently.

    Back to this, I thought he was two years younger than he is. He isn't anywhere near as good at his age as Ronaldo and Messi were.

    Did we ever get an explanation for them changing the ball? I don't think I've seen or heard any presenters or commentators mention it.

    Cannot believe he brought Rabiot back in for this. France look like they have 8 players outfield. Need to take Giroud off as well.

    What a goal that was. France are an absolute bombscare and it’s all on the manager. Fucking Upamecano and Rabiot in a World Cup final

    Brilliant goal. Best goal in a final for ages.

    They are already crying though - could be a meltdown on the cards.

    Very un-France this, collapsing when the pressure is really on.

    We would be giving them a far better game than this (fucking wish we had made it, what a final that would be).

    Bumping this because I want to know too. Infantino must be a lurker on here.
