It's finally here.

Argentina-France

6pm by https://time.is/Qatar (4pm Paris, 3pm London, 10am New York, 7am California)

Lionel Messi has never lifted a world cup, and some say it's his destiny to. Kylian Mbappé is his counterpart in blue (he has lifted the trophy).

Betting odds are as even as can be, which makes things very exciting. There is no way to call this.

      Apparently there's a virus going around the squad, might be causing the lethargy. Happy for Measi finally getting his WC and Mbappe getting the golden boot.

    God put the plague on France so Messi can win a WC. One of the best sporting events I’ve ever seen.

    The first 70 minutes were kinda boring, and I was thinking if I should even watch until the end. Glad I stuck around.

    I don't really care for France, but I wanted Mbappe to win a second:deeper-sadness:

    Great match though. Good for Messi finally getting the WC he wanted to seal his legacy.

    Leaning towards Argentina like I have for the past few games. Reddit game thread is actually unbearable now that Argentina is winning.
