Unfortunate ending for the US team but they were outmatched today. Congrats to the Netherlands for a well played match!

Goodness gracious! Die Mannschaft is out and Spain just got skooled by Morocco in the penalties. What a keeper! Top of the bill on Saturday is England vs France.

My son was playing Futsal indoors yesterday at the same time as the finale. The facility has a massive big screen on the wall which of course was showing the game. I am going to say everyone including the refs for the games were watching the World Cup Finale instead of the kids games. :') It was a great finale.

Not a big soccer guy, only full game I watched was the final.
Didn't know anything about the two teams, but got drawn in by the Messi and Ángel Di María stories. When France got around to playing in the second half, Kylian Mbappé really made an impression. My big take away was the French goalie wasn't having a very good day. Almost a shame to have it end the way it did, but Argentina seemed to present the better, more aggressive team for the majority of the match. Their second goal from end to end was a thing of beauty.
