    As a final it doesn’t get much worse really, does it. Can’t they both lose 😩

    I think Argies v The Germans would pip it and that’s about it!

    Absolutely hoping Messi's Argentina win.
    Could not stand the 'disinterested' French winning.
    Should be a cracking game.

    Really hope France win as I don’t want Argentina anywhere near the trophy. I want to see Messi crying at the final whistle.

    Disappointed watching Mbappe throw himself to the ground several times in the semi conning the ref so hope he cuts that out.

    I will happily put aside any Argentina rivalry for the sake of seeing one of the biggest moments in football history and Messi finally getting the big one at 35.

    Messi to crown himself the GOAT
    Genuinely the best of my lifetime
    Works hard
    Team-mates, fans and press adore him
    Cmon the Argies
    Plus he isn't French!

    Agree with the Organiser. No way could I support either team.

    The worst possible final for me.
    Detest them both in equal measure.

    Same for me, i don't care much at all for Argentina, i just think Messi deserves it to crown his career after bringing them this far. Plus the majority of these French players have already won a world cup.

    Definitely Argentina for me - their fans have been so passionate and it would make for a more memorable tournament for Messi to finish by lifting the trophy. Shame so many people can't put aside historical grievances and just enjoy the football.

    Don't like either. But love Messi. Watching him play throughout his career has bought me a lot of joy, that's what footballs all about. 

    And being a Charlton fan and saying the word joy in the same sentence is few and far between.

    I'm not fan of either but if I had to pick it would be the French by a nose.

    We all dislike Argentina for what occurred in the 90s and the fact that they are usually the opposite to Brazil. Dark arts as opposed to the beautiful game. However as a player I detested the arrogant midget Deschamps, this dislike still lingers long into management.and I hate seeing his smug face smile.

    Want to see Messi win it, want to see Argentina | France lose - Hopefully a giant Seagull will swoop in just as they're about the KO, pinch the only ball in the country (Qatar have ran out of money) and fly off, shitting on Infantino's head

    As I have Argentina in the work sweepstake, I am naturally hoping they win.

    I had two bets left, one on Argentina to win, the other on France to win. 
    I've cashed out Argentina and am sticking with France. If I've got that wrong I will feel like a bit of a plank.

    Won't bother watching it at 2am kick off. 

    Prefer the Frogs to the Argies but won't be broken hearted either way. 

    Hope Morocco secure third place though.

    It's like s Millwall v Palace FA Cup final. You want both teams to lose. As you can't have a favourite you can just watch the game as s complete neutral. I'd love to see penalties and some of the worst culprits break and miss under pressure.

    I'd rather France than Argentina, though I'd have preferred neither of them!

    both countries tend to 'export' most of their top talents and I wonder if this makes for a stronger bond amongst their players, absence makes the heart grow fonder, boys reunion, diaspora nationalism and all that stuff
    like most here I don't care for either country, though the French are the less obnoxious of the two .. some great players on show, potentially a super game though given the prize it'll be cagey at least until one team scores .. France after extra time
