[Football] France v Argentina official World Cup final thread ….

[Bodian]

….I heard when the draw was made there were a couple of teams missing ?

Alternatively, there were a couple of extra teams that they just couldn't seem to fit in anywhere. So they put them in their own pot - where they still are today, five years later....

Massively behind Argentina for Ali Mac and Messi.

My youngest’s Mac Allister Albion shirt Xmas present is going to go down very well!

What if they lose...

"Daddy, I wanted a Maupay shirt..."

This is almost like the FIFA proposal for the next World Cup.

Brighton's Alexis MacAllister 11/2 to score in the World Cup final

 

[Zeberdi]

Mackie’s not enough to reignite much passion for me - I’ll be watching as we have a social engagement planned round watching the Final

Quoting myself here but only to completely u-turn on what I said earlier - Mackie’s been brilliant and amazing to hear Brighton being mentioned so much - that assist for Di Maria’s goal was sublime - so I am reignited!

I have felt it would be an Argentina win for some time now. When you think about it, it then becomes clear that a Messi v Mbappe final is the dream ticket for FIFA, and then also for Qatar given the ownership of PSG too. They basically pay the salaries of the top 2 players in the tournament so why wouldn’t they want them both in the final?

Not normally a betting person but I did put a couple of ‘insurance’ bets around this happening which I have cashed out now for a decent return.

I detest the way Argentina play, the special treatment Messi gets, the ‘dark arts’ they practice (cheating) and basically don’t care who wins it now as long as it’s not them.

I backed them again for the final. Too obvious.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

France need to bring Mbappe on.

In THE greatest show on Earth, Mac Allister is playing suberbly.

 

[Zeberdi]

Can’t believe this amazing comments for Mac Allister- now suggesting he will ‘be swapping his shirt for Messi’s’ in the Argentinian side - a ‘special talent’

His value is increasing by the minute! £75-85m? Best WC for Brighton PL ever.

Best World Cup yet !? Better than 1970.

Bonkers that the only team in the competition to beat the eventual champions was Saudi Arabia

Well, not all of the champions... Alexis Mac Allister went undefeated.

Lovely interview. Both Mac A and PB shine.

What a fantastic club, we’re so lucky to be part of it at this time.
