hearing the news lately there are several french players who will be out due to illness and i think it is argentina's chance to win the final easily if indeed there are some french squad players who cannot play in the final i bet on argentina but i respect the choice you for france, i think argentina will not let france win this world cup in a row even if they play consistently Cheesy

Fake news as it turns out, and I'm sure even if true none of the affected players would ever have admitted it for fear of omission heh. Was completely unaware of this flu bug going around there until I read about this. Pretty sure it's all climate adjustments playing a part.

Was kind of hoping the score wouldn't be as it stood at HT, worried the French would have given up in the second half and from the first 15 minutes, that does seem apparent with only a Rabiot yellow to show for it, Mbappe was uncharacteristically invisible until the penalty!

yes but in the end argentina won this year's world cup even though it's fake news even if france team played with full squad team it wouldn't be possible to win consecutive world cups i was sure this year's world cup was for argentina and they proved it though on penalties, but France almost won at the end of extra time free play in the penalty box unfortunately broken by the argentinian defender, but whatever it is congrats for the win argentina and at least I won the bet there Wink
