2022 World Cup - Qatar

Stuff pens, golden goal please.
That is so year 2000

World Cup finals are supposed to be boring and cagey affairs settled by 1-0.
 
They should let you extend the match to 2mins after the last save by a keeper or something. Both teams were desperate to avoid pens and clearly willing to win or lose that game. Or make it that play can continue if both captains agree to it.

Lloris had two fantastic saves in the semi that didnt get much attention, but even superb keepers like Buffon arent necessarily the best at penalties. It's a different discipline so I'm still picking Argentina (although I've no idea if Lloris is a specialist at pens). Shrewd move to get the guy with Scottish blood substituted off before the tickly point. Hope the ref clamps down on any antics by the Argie keeper though.
 
Martinez should get booked for throwing the ball away. Martinez is the best penalty specialist I've seen since Dida. Lloris had to keep that one out. Poor by him.
 
Congrats to Argentina. Far sweeter to win that way than a 2-0 coasting to victory against a France that couldn't put up a fight wouldn't you say @Cruz_del_Sur?

Fantastic effort by France. Definitely something going on in the squad and just an amazing effort.
