    Moroccan players came across Infantino on their way to the dressing rooms. At least they've told him what we all think of him.

    'highly valued' probably not the best phrase.

    Basically it's, 'bugger, I just lost out on the gold" v "yes, I got a medal!"

    A World Cup final a week before Christmas. Still struggling to get my head round that. Not a fan of the change in timing - leaving location aside.

    You do seem easily confused to be fair.

    Morocco lit the world cup up, well done.

    Greizman, Boufal, Messi, Mbappe, Amrabat the players of the tournament so far for me

    Heart says Boufal or Greizman, head says Messi

    Romero and Otamendi. Those guys are big key factors that Argentina is in the final.

    But sure... defensemen never get any respect... although defense wins the championships in tournaments like this.

    They get respect from me, just not in my top 5.

    And have they dropped Mbappe?!

    Definitely. Perhaps FIFA will get their wish for this World Cup……

    Italians are well known for being late, France haven't bothered to turn up at all.

    France deserve the win. Dodgy oen for Argentina and lots of foul play from them.

    Amazing save by Loris at the end.

    All the confidence and fluidity in Argentina has evaporated. Mbappe showing true class with that finish

    I’m sure the truth will come out in time.

    What odds would you have got for the following for France in the first 45 mins;

    Mbappe away on holiday

    Giroud off getting his barnet done at the salon

    Griezmanne at Carrefour getting his Christmas turkey

    Bring on the extra time!

    McCoist commentary - He just said it's the 1st hat trick where all 3 have been over the line

    Got to love our Ally McCoist -“Mbappe, First person to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final where all three were over the line“.

    Classic line, pun intended

    Mbappe…what a star.

    Lloris could have had a couple of those.

    Pleased for Messi but that game could have gone either way in the end. Brilliant to watch.
