There is no consolation for France, but there will be some vindication at least in the history books because Mbappe's hat-trick will be remember forever as the second hat-trick as well as how his first two goals turned this match on its head. Well played Mbappe, and well played France but especially well played Argentina, who started with a Messi penalty before losing 2-1 to Saudi Arabiaand then fighting all the way to the final, into extra time and through the drama of the penalty shoot out. Beautiful game? You'd better damn believe it. Thank you for sharing this historic moment with us, as well as all 64 games in this quite magnificent and unforgettable World Cup!
Messi has his date with destiny, Argentina erupts and the entire French nation falls to its knees after one of the greatest footballing contests of all time. WOW!
ARGENTINA ARE THE WORLD CHAMPIONS! Montiel hits the back of the net and takes a gentle jog to his right as Messi sinks to his knees and the Argentine squad swamp Montiel. What a moment for the man and for the nation. And what a way for Messi to end his World Cup career.FRANCE: 2 ARGENTINA 4 that's the ball-game, folks!
