Holy shit.

The Final, to be played Sunday, December 18, 2022, will be Argentina v. France. Argentina beat Croatia, 3-0 yesterday and France beat Morocco, 2-0, today to both reach the Finals. There will be a Third Place match between Croatia and Morocco on Saturday, December 17, although this usually ends up being the, who gives a fuck match, I don't understand why FIFA still requires that it be played.

Well...that was an amazing game.....that kick save at the end was jawdropping.......

As a person who doesn't really like soccer I enjoyed it....I think the whole Penalty Kicks thing is kind of cheap in a championship game but whatever.....still a fantastic game.

Greatest World Cup Final I've ever seen. Two immortals, Messi and Mbappe, going at it for 120 minutes, and, they're teammates on their club side, Paris St. Germaine.

One really good point that someone made about penalty kicks is that they are such a common part of a soccer game(as opposed to penalty shots/shootout) that its just another facet of the game to end the game. Don't want it to go to kicks? Go and score. 120 minutes is such an insane amount of time to run. I don't think you can just make them keep running.

Sounded like an absolutely incredible game. I wished I had seen it.

They wouldn't have to keep running the same players, you could allow more subs, start drawing upon the depth of each team to prove out the winner
