I got on Argentina at $101 on Betr prior to the tournament. Can lay the winner of the next game and be guaranteed

How the **** did you pick them? Excepting the front two, their starting 11 is bang average. Did you split the stake with another team or go the whole hog?

By the time I went to take the offer Betr had already removed France and Brazil from the market so I split the $10 into 4 $2.50 bets and backed Argentina, Netherlands, Germany and Spain.

Lionel Messi is such an unbelievable talent and a great sportsman.I think winning a world cup would no doubt make him the GOAT.

An absolute honour and privilege tonight seeing Messi live and at his best. He is simply a phenomenonal talent. There is nothing like him in any sport. Argentina are flying because of him. The crowd was mesmerised. When I was lucky enough to get WC final tickets back in July my first thought after the screams had died down was I want to see Messi lift the trophy...

He's the Dusty of world football isn't he.

...if Dusty achieved everything he has done in Caleb Daniel's body.

Bloody hell, that worked in your favour. There's this weird inevitability about them atm. No prizes for guessing which two teams I split it between

Must admit it’s been hard to not follow this World Cup because i decided I can’t support it being in Qatar. Im happy for Messi because he hasn’t really preformed like this in previous World Cups, needed it to go into the GOAT conversation

An Mbappe v Messi showdown in the final.

It’s gonna be epic.

Thunder all out for 15.

Incredible scenes with each wicket caught square or behind the wicket apart from one bowled

A few French on the sick list and

A red panda named "Tiger" at Chiang Mai Zoo has predicted that Argentina will win against France in the upcoming World Cup final, though France will lead in the first half, according to the zoo’s chief, Wutthichai Muangmun.​

The keeper who threw the flare into the crowd is a moron. Doesn't justify the violent reaction from the crowd, but it caused it.

 

[the big lebowski]

I look forward to reading how the media is unfair and treats soccer violence differently to football violence

Was always going to happen - idiots multiply at soccer games as they try to be hard arses of a bygone era.
Keeper was an idiot but doesn’t justify this assault

The keeper started the riot but I agree - the assaults were disgraceful. But what sort of a moron picks up a burning flare (laying harmless on the ground) and tosses it into the fans?

Only Australian soccer can blow up three weeks of exceptional good will so spectacularly.
