Called it. From the start of the tournament. No one is winning anything with a midfield that Adrien Rabiot starts in. Spain kept Mbappe central and Dembele wide, completely neutered them.

Anyway @just you might want to pick up some fireworks for yourself for Sunday. This Spain team will not beat Tuchel-ball. Get ready for the most dour, unsatisfactory WC final.

France lost the battle in the midfield and never recovered at all.

No one is beating this Spain team.

That’s what everyone has been saying about France for three weeks. They might do a France in the final and go to bits.

Incidentally, how come the Spain team aren’t doing a karaoke Y Viva Espana with their supporters?

We sold the best left back in the world and possible world cup winner.

Not the best, but nowhere near what some people on this forum made him out to be.

I'm half expecting Hato to be the next Ashley Cole this season because of it.

A master clusterfxxk from France.

Spain looked decent though France's forwards were so poor.

Yamal could have gone for 3 yellows by my count.

Noticed in the first half Spain's defenders went narrow to close down the through ball yet France never went round the outside, brain dead when things don't go their way.

The French teams are well known for having fall outs amongst each other. Wonder if there was a bit of scrap pre match

France went wide. Spain shut them down.

So England will meet France in the third place playoff.

Argentina are in for a rude awakening tomorrow.

They’ve faced piss poor sides all tournament and struggled to get through. They were lucky to get past the likes of Egypt and Cape Verde.

We’re going to thump them and send them packing with their tails between their legs, and I will LOVE every minute of it.

Be ready for it. It’s going to be fantastic.
