As good a match as I’ve seen for a long time.

Some penalty by Messi.

[Kenneth]

Lloris is going to lose this for France. That, and the penalty takers

[RedAndWhite]

Top ****housery by the Argentinian goalkeeper

[Kenneth]

That was an atrocious performance by Lloris; played like a fiddle.

Anyway, the bull**** tournament is over, bring on the real football.

5 in normal time and 2 in extra time?

Thought you were only allowed 1 additional in extra time. Wondered if it was a concussion sub but a cursory web search doesn't show that a thing

This game had it all. Scoring a hat trick in w World Cup final ought to have won it, but not! Messi got the medal that has been eluding him for all his brilliant career, and he can now elevate himself to the level of his predecessor, Diego Maradona.

Genuine question, do you reckon a peal Messi would have smashed the Premier league ?

Depends on the day, month, opponents, the weather and if the match was home or away

Are you taking the pith?

[Le Chef]

Are you taking the pith?

Honestly, no - he has only ever played in Spain, Barring the last 18 months - I know its a cliche but Messi being clattered by Ryan Shawcross on Cold and wet Wednesday night in Stoke maybe would have a been a leveller if you get my drift.

Yeah there’s always that question mark isn’t there

There will?
