Haven't seen this flag since the game. Appreciate if anyone has a photo of the gas end at wembley with my flag, this photo was taken before the end was full, be nice to have a full crowd behind it.

Seems to be a few Messi lovers on here, personally I like it straight and uncomplicated.

Like it or not this tournament was one of the best on field imho. Some cracking matches , shocks a plenty , and apparently a great final,(did not watch). Morocco the team of the tournament for me, Don't think either finalist are 'great' sides, England as good as any there , Brazil 1970 best team ever imho.

No need for that mate, totally unnecessary. Golden boot winner, will be back. Golden boot or not still a w**ker. All hail the King (Messi!) 🇦🇷❤️ If you say so but his name will echo into the annals of football and the sporting world, long after he is gone where ours will be forgotten. No one can deny his genius with a football, not even you.

Can’t help feeling a dislike for Argentina - constant snide fouling; kicking the ball away; in the refs face; the delaying tactics; even messi at the ref after the Holland game was all unsavoury. Fair play they won but not a great side like some World Cup winners of the past Don’t like all that stuff either but at the end of the day they walked off with a nice gold trophy………we behaved like choirboys and took the fifa fair play award. Can’t wait to watch us defend our title! What i particularly enjoyed was both teams going out to win, very little of the possession stuff and took me back, when teams attacked. I thoroughly enjoyed the game and i stop watching, in normal times, when my team is out. Just one point, i don’t think something like a World Cup final should ever be decided on penalties.

What's the alternative. Golden goal, i.e. next goal is the winner, did not work. No chance of a replay, no time. More extra time?

Was so enjoyable no one would have complained. Could have used the hour they took to get the f'ing presentations ready

I can only give my opinion and i believe play until the next goal so yes, golden goal. Out of interest, how did it not work as i cannot remember, really

Not like the old days where there was only one sub. Both teams looked like they were up for it and i did not see players cramping up

Saying that how did France make 7 subs? - Showing on BBC site.

That was their time in front of the cameras !!!

Out of interest, how did it not work as i cannot remember, really Because a lot of the games that went to ET were absolutely terrible as teams were scared to lose. So would rather just settle for penalties anyway.

Carry on playing until someone scores, but each team takes one player off every 10 mins.
