Likely to come down to a cointreauversial refereeing decision
Mbappe gonna learn who fifa actually want to win this tournament.
Yeah.
The last time both finalists won their semi-finals to nil, France lost the final.
The time it happened previous to that, a South American team won the final.
The time it happened previous to that, Argentina won the final.
I worked with a Moroccan woman many moons ago. She was stunningly beautiful.

Argentinaās six finals are:
1930 - Kerry won the All-Ireland football championship/Tipperary won the hurling
1978 - Kerry/Cork won the All-Irelands
1986 - Kerry/Cork won the All-Irelands
1990 - Cork/Cork won the All-Irelands
2014 - Kerry/Kilkenny won the All-Irelands
2022 - Kerry/Limerick won the All-Irelands
In 5 of the 6 Argentina World Cup final years, Kerry have won the All-Ireland football championship. 11 of 12 All-Irelands in Argentina World Cup final years have been won by Munster teams.
But we might have to wait until the Cork hurlers are dominant alongside the Kerry footballers in 2026 for Argentina to win it.
France is
1998 Galway/ Offaly
2018 Dublin/ Limerick
2022 Kerry/ Limerick
Iām getting nothing out of that.

1978 Liverpool won the European Cup at Wembley
1986 Liverpool won the FA Cup at Wembley
2022 Liverpool won the FA Cup at Wembley
1986 is the last time Morocco reached the knockout stages of a World Cup before 2022.
1986 is the last World Cup Mexico were in in which they didnāt exit at the Round of 16 stage - before 2022.
1986 is the last time a Top Gun film was released before 2022.
Iām stretching here.

Thought France improved immensely when Giroud went off. Any chance he wonāt start Sunday?
Morocco were absolutely fucked at the end pal. Giroud was decent. He will 100% start the final
Heāll start alright. Thuram looks a difference maker off the bench
if anyone was to drop out Iād say Dembeleā¦ heās been middlingā¦ glimpses but fuck all end product
Absolutely, Dembeleās been incredibly wasteful, donāt see what he adds.
This is obviously Messiās WC, but Antoine Griezmann is running a close second in terms of contribution. He has been superb in every game, involved in everything, is everywhere. My player of the tournament so far. His team arenāt setting themselves up to let him play like with Messi, rather the opposite.

Itās day 26 of the World Cup.
Today Gianni Infantino feels like ringing Elon Musk for tips on developing a supervillain persona with a slavish online cult of adoring followers, because he feels his attempts at trying to be nice to everybody arenāt gaining him the online adoration he deserves and instead making him a figure of ridicule. He feels hurt by this.

Benzema back for the final
Worst situation imaginable for Deschamps.
No I think they can pick him but they arenāt. He was replaced so he can still be picked:

I was driving the car in to little ilsand for the NCT this morning. 2FM was on the radio, 2 women and a man talking about the world cup
MAN: āI was SOOOOO disappointed Morocco lost the other nightā
WOMAN 1 or 2: " i KNOOOOOOOOW, did you like identify with Morocco being Irish"
MAN: " I REAAAALLLY actually did"
WOMAN 1 or 2: āOH MY GOD, ME TOOOOā
MAN: āI donāt think Iāll watch the final now, itās just a kick around between France and Argentinaā
I just switched off the radio for fear thereād be similar shit on another station.
