    It was hard to be impressed with England last night. It really was a meaningless game and everything that came before it strongly suggests to me that they would have been beaten last night if it had been a proper game. They were really poor at this World Cup and have wasted a genuine opportunity to win something. They had a very easy pathway which they made look really difficult and they were probably fortunate to reach the semi-final playing the way they did. I’ve given up on them for good now, the way they performed in the second half against Argentina was really really poor

    I think it’s the right result for football. Argentina have acted disgracefully

    I'm drained after that. Argentina deserve to lose. They are a set of dirty players. They were the same with England always fouling. Well done Spain a well deserved victory.

    Music to my ears 😁

    Really I don't care who wins, as im not a sports fan. What I've enjoyed is seeing the world come together over this. We really need this.

    I actually went to bed at 10 pm last night, as I couldn't bear to watch any more of the match! I am very glad I hadn't paid thousands of dollars for a ticket to see that. Argentina are very unedifying.

    On the plus side, I didn't find out that Spain had won until the 7 am radio news this morning - hurrah! That’s a nice way to wake up on a Monday morning! πŸŒ„

    I am now going to read through all the match reports and find out what I missed, not a lot by what I've read so far. Except for Trump and Infantino being booed a lot, also very welcome news!

    Happy Monday everyone. 😊 🌞 😁
