    I think itโ€™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 ๐Ÿ˜

    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! Thatโ€™s a nice way to wake up on a Monday morning! ๐ŸŒ„

    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. ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐ŸŒž ๐Ÿ˜

    It was me, and @ripple, who had Spain as our team. ๐Ÿฅณ ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐Ÿป ๐ŸŽŠ

    Thank you, thank you, it was all our own work... the team couldnโ€™t have done it without us, we will be signing autographs later...

    I just want to say a big thank you to Adrian_Scope and the other Scope contributers for organising the Sweepstake, and for them and everyone else for keeping this thread going throughout all the World Cup.ย  The daily conversations and predictions from you all have been great fun, and have really enhanced my enjoyment of the tournament as a whole.ย  Thank you to all!ย  ๐Ÿ‘

    I'm now missing my daily dose of football chat! โšฝ๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜•

    You're very welcome @Scooby222 and thank you to everyone for participating. I am thinking about us doing a Premier League Sweepstake or a Premier League prediction competition like we did a number of years ago. They last a lot longer (since the season runs from August to May) but they might be fun. If anyone is interested in that, please let me know!

    League one is my thing. Hey that's an Idea I have a football post on the Diabetes forum maybe start one here where we can chat about our teams not just Premiership teams.
