Where are we all watching...? - BBC or ITV?

BBC for me. Would like to watch in UHD on iPlayer, but the lag is too much.

Likely to be a close tight game with extra time a strong possibility. I've thought the French were the team to beat all along so won't change my view now 1-0 Les Blues.

BBC but if Jonathan Pearce is commentating then it’ll be RTÉ

ForeverAddickted

Of course whoever wins this, also becomes Unofficial World Champions.

Argentina currently hold that title, after beating Croatia in the Semi-Finals: https://www.ufwc.co.uk/

I want France to win, at least we'll be able to say we were knocked out by the world champions.

Little reminder of this fat git and what he did back in 86.

So many reasons to dislike Argentina - where do you start? Fewer reasons to dislike France. Come on France.

MrOneLung

Poor start by France. Giving ball away left right and centre 

MrOneLung

Oh and BBC of course

Hate saying it, but come on the Argies. Don't want France to retain the title and win it for the 3rd time.

Lloris momentarily reverts to the Tottenham Lloris

France not turned up so far....

BBC. Mowbray is awful but less awful than Matterface. 

Such a shame that GB News doesn’t have the rights to broadcast.

Siding with the Argies today just so Messi can get one. Then can go back to hoping they lose from 2026 onwards. 👍

Theo Hernandez has been getting passing lessons from Ryan Inniss.

Missing the game as at a panto - booked months ago without realising the clash so at least I avoided a difficult decision if England had got through! Quietly following it on here and BBC though...

Soft that.

Di Maria going over so easily.

Ref was desperate to gift Messi a goal here. 

O-Randy-Hunt

Meeeeeeeeesssssssssssiiiiiiiiii

ForeverAddickted

France are good at sitting back when they havent got the ball, and are defending a lead - They showed that against England when it was 1-0, and then breathed straight back into life when we equalised.

But they need to wake up here, havent even got going

That was Messi's fourth penalty of the tournament I think

philcafc

Very soft penalty, highly debatable. Argies have started better however.

SELR_addicks

There was no foul. 

It's all bought and paid for in Qatar. Thank you and goodnight. 

ValleyGary

That is never a pen in a million years. Absolute joke.

killerandflash

Deserved lead, but very soft penalty. The French have been very ordinary so far
