Bloody ell, was hoping the argies would win, quite a stressful game to watch if you wanted someone to win :S..great fun from a neutral perspective though.. the argies had it in the bag and then bungled it, good goal by mbappe for the second though, also pretty impressive to score three penalties in the world cup final near the end of the game(and the shootout) v someone who is pretty good when facing penalties. Good to see Messi scoring in the final too, good for him, what a career he's had with Argentina, youth world cup winners, Olympics gold medal, Copa America, the intercontinental friendly trophy and now the world cup, he's on 98 goals for them too...

Scaloni has done a great job with the argies since taking over, the tactics are pretty much set up to let Messi do what he wants but he's really got the best out of maybe not the best squad in the tournament. Since the last Copa America, he's beaten Brazil in the final, the European champions(and winners of their nations league group) convincingly too and on the way to winning this cup they beat two of the other European nations league finalists (Croatia and the dutch) and the defending world champs and a strong french team. They've beaten the form European teams. Very well deserved win and they looked impressive doing it, barring the late game blunders and losing leads..
