[Martin Alvito]

Just slapped with a healthy dose of American perspective as the trophy celebration is pre-empted for a regular season NFL game.

And was miles off his line for each penalty, & the ref didn't even spot it, a complete & utter joke, as the refs have been all tournament !!

yup

The strength of will to come back from 2 sucker punches is just incredible.

Take a bow, little fella. That’s how you cement your legacy.

there is the strength of will to do that

and then theres the strength of will to do that and take the penalty the way he did

Lloris is poor

Soak it in, Matty.
You’ve just witnessed history.

The undisputed GOAT

 

[BlueStevie35]

No consolation in defeat but what a performance from Mbappe to not only be the first player in 56 years to score a hat trick in the final AND score the first in the shootout and he’s still only 23

Brazilian fans will be conflicted, hating that the enemy have won the whole thing but relief that their record stands as the last team to retain the trophy

 

[Billy Dean]

Top class from Scaloni. Plucked from their U20s with no managerial experience

 

[marsh]

What a final!!! Shame we have to go back to crappy Everton next week haha

 

[ToffeeTim]

I cant quite get my head around the concept of scoring a hat trick in the world Cup final and losing the game

What a game

I think you'll find he dived outward to narrow the angle.

Just ridiculous storytelling, as much as anything.
