I wanted France from the beginning, partly from being a Francophile, and partly because everybody assumed Brazil or Argentina.

But for the MacAllister wouldn’t object to an Argentina win. Would be happy to see an Africa win. And I’ve always thought Modric was a great player, even back to when he was at Spurs - not a Prima Donna!
Would love to see the berbers beat the colonials on wednesday

I don't mind Argentina. For cheating they are behind the premature dancing crybabies of Brazil and the absolute cheating scrotes of Portugal (edit - and how can I forget Uruguay :facepalm:. The Dutch tried their best to put off the final penalty taker multiple times so I can forgive the Argies for giving it back after the last pen (plus i remember Krul's antics previously). AliMac and Messi don't appear to be significant cheaters (all footballers have it in them mind, sadly) either. Also, Argentina have fans over there in their droves. It's great for Africa and the Berbers that Morocco have done so well but no more whistling thanks, it ruins the atmosphere (aswell as the dull football). I'd like an Argentina v France final but the French must lose (basically they are an annoying nation and they have won the WC and Euros too many times now).

Has to be Argentina, cement Messi in the history as the best ever (It's the one thing missing from his shelf) - can't fault his achievements.

Love Argentina, the team, the country and the food. If people from Sussex can support Man Utd etc, why can't I support Argentina. My love for Maradona means they're always my first choice. Also I have no time for Gareth Southgate, Harry Kane or Slab head and now we have an Argentinian international (may have changed teams if Dunk got the call) it would be silly to change teams now. I'd also like Morocco to win and that makes it a bit more complicated.

Away from winner I see 3rd place play off on 17th. That must be one of worst games to play in

Why the love in with Argentina, I do not get it, Messi tax cheating scrotal midget, Ali Mac, he won't be here come August....
They are not that good, dive and roll all over the floor, Messi influences the gullible referees, goes down with minimal contact, they behave atrociously at the end of the last game, I simply think they do not deserve the love in , maybe I am wrong

Why would it be? Those getting the bronze medal are usually just as happy as those who win the entire thing. They're permanently in the history books and get to celebrate and be happy after the last game, unlike the silver medalists who are always devastated.

Totally agree, horrible team. Read that Messi said Maradona was helping the team, looking down on them from heaven. If there is an afterlife, that cheating drugged up scumbag certainly won't be in heaven!

It seems a bit tinpot supporting another nation just because a Brighton player plays for them, particularly these days, when players really have no loyalty to their clubs and move on to "bigger" clubs as soon as they can. Perhaps we shouldn't have supported England at the WC, as there were no Brighton players in the squad!

I feel you could be wrong this time if Morocco beat France, that will be their world cup final, I doubt they will be devested if they finish runners up, being the first African/Arabic side in the final, they will be treated like gods on their return home.

A side note: I bet all police leave is cancelled in the big cities tomorrow night in France, I full expect it too kick off, in Paris and Marseille !!

I think they will be devastated if they lose the final, just a natural reaction to getting that close, but indeed it would probably blow over pretty quickly (at latest when going back to Morocco). A bit similar to Croatia last time around.

Argentina have a fantastic team and it would be great to see Alexis Mac and Lionel Messi win the World Cup. Probably in that order for me. Messi deserves the glory.
