Their crosses were insane. Just relentless and precise with perfectly timed runs. Feel sorry for Pickford tho, had some great saves

Will be interesting to see if they can break down Spain’s defense … Spain walked all over France quite easily

I think Spain might be slight favourites based on them shutting out the frogs

The cup is not coming home! So many mistakes by the Brits and so many lost opportunities.

I will not be eating Beef Wellington tonight 👎

as a neutral Spain v Argentina I couldn't care who wins
should be a good game though

Sportsbet has it 1.61 vs 2.34 in favour of Spain

As always the poms win nothing,i can hear the moaning from the other side of the world rising to a crescendo.

Sounds about right … I think Spain will be a bridge too far for them, Argentina hasn’t really dominated a game all tournament

ARGENTINA come over the top of ENGLAND 2-1 with a late burst AND FLY TO WORLD CUP FINAL
2 x Messi assists did the trick, after Gordon had earlier finished off a great England attack

Yeh I reckon as well. It’s a good matchup for two fan bases
1. Barca fans (Messi vs Yamal and also half their squad playing)
2. Cabo Verde fans (two teams they drew against in 90 minutes)

Well done Argentina.

It was wishful thinking that the Poms would win, but the Spanish v Spanish colony will be a tasty meal.

I'm cooking tapas for our family and friends for the final. Saddleback beef, patatas brava, a pickled onions and peppers dipping sauce, with a black pudding, hamon and rice side.

It will be finished with a watercress, cherry tomato, olive and cucumber salad.

Vamos!

OK champion @Leck, all these tasty temptations.
We've never been so hungry! 😉

Terrible tactics. Too defensive too early and just inviting Argentina to attack them for the last 30 minutes.

Yes, very disappointing just a 1 goal lead was never going to get it done, boy they always under perform at world cups.

England's 60-year wait to return to the World Cup final goes on .........

The Argentina players found Jordan Pickford's water bottle, which revealed where they were expected to take their penalties.
They all gathered around to study it.
