Pity the French player went and picked the ball up after Martinez threw it away.

What if he stood still and refused to go and get the ball, ref should have made Martinez go and retrieve it.

Well well well..
From God losing the ball......

That's the thing . Mistakes happen, especially when you are the focal point for a team

But as any mistake in life it's how you deal with it and go forward

He recovered fantastically and for me goes down as the greatest ever

sorry but what ?

It’s a goal - why on Earth should it not count towards any golden boot ?‍

Just my opinion strikers are supposed to be goal scorers pens are like fishing in a barrel.

All part of football's theatre.... most sports have their ugly bits.

Yes and booked him for it.

 

[clubchamp98]

So, you don't want penalties to count, because a goalkeeper could win it, whereas an outfield player can't win golden glove?

Strange logic.

If a keeper won the golden boot because he took penalties, absolutely fair play to him.

No I don’t !
But if you do that’s ok.

Mac Allistair was sensational tonight. Arguably MoM.

Definitely for me .

Incredible final. Messi has completed football. The best footballer I have ever seen in 38 years on this planet. If you don’t rate him, I really don’t think you understand football.

I'm not sure that there is anyone that doesn't "rate him", at least not outside of a room with padded walls, but there will always be the argument about whether he is the greatest ever or not. And it's a discussion with no correct answer. Some will say Messi, others Ronaldo, and then there's players like Pele, Puskas and Maradonna to throw into the mix. Anyone could make a compelling argument for any of those five to be considered the greatest ever.

I'm not sure that certain England players from previous tournaments or certain French players from tonight would agree with you.

No I don’t !

Should free kicks count? I remember Chilavert used to take free kicks for Paraguay, so there would be a danger of a keeper getting a few on the score sheet.

If penalties were not to count, does that mean we don't need to be sad about Kane's miss?

???

Scoring a penalty is scoring a goal ??


Shall we take all those golden boots away from the likes of Kane, Salah, Shearer etc because some are penalties

Sometimes you come up with some strange stuff about football but that’s up there with the best

what about free kicks ?

If scoring penalties is like fishing in barrel how come so many are missed and also by the best

Why did they put Messi in a dress? Surely the country of Argentina want the legacy of him in an Argentine shirt? It looks like he was getting an honoury degree

 

[AmandaJR]

I think the French lad that missed his penalty after having to collect the ball missed because he knew he had to hit the corners. Martinez got a strong hand to Mbappes and saved the next. All added to the pressure.

They made a right pigs ear of that! Trophy should be central to where the squad are standing and lifted from there. Stupido! As for the cloak thing - what??!!

Today's result has confirmed that Messi absolutely does deserve to be in the same bracket as the other greats who have won the WC.

Ha yes. I thought Infantino had won the WC!

 

[Orikoru]

Thought the Argies deserved it just. Congratulations to them.
France turned up late ,it’s hard to win from 2-0 down.

Mbappe ? pens should not count for the golden boot always thought that.
You could have a keeper win it if he took the pens and the golden gloves outfield player can’t win that.

You make it sound like a penalty is a tap-in goal, but as Englishmen we know better than anybody that that isn't the case. ?

Is Roy Keane auditioning for The Three Musketeers?
