Good draw for England.
I hope Ukraine makes up the last spot though I suspect Wales will qualify.
Bit more tricky for the French with a game v Denmark who are unpredictable.

Spain v Germany is another good match...
France v Tunisia also for a "local" rivalry

I wonder what The Daily Repress has to say about it.
‘ Now there’s no debate. Messi is definitively in the pantheon of soccer’s greatest ever players, alongside Pelé — a record three-time World Cup champion from Brazil — and Diego Maradona, the late Argentina great with whom Messi was so often compared.‘
what rubbish!

What about the little guy?? You know the one who was all over the pitch at the end. Couldn’t see his number but think they called him Macron. Totally useless & didn't feature all game. Then again the other little guy was fantastic. For me the GOAT. Won everything with style. What a final. Best team won.

’How sad………..must have been fantastic to watch for a neutral’
afaiac the first hour of the game was in neutral….. as France tried to lull the Argentinian team into a false sense of security,
but failed.

Both me a DW watched the game France lost the game in the first 30mins they didnt play as a team, then they got in gear and gave us a very watchful game, on the basis of what I saw the better team won at the end. The only thing that spoilt it yet again, and this is why its the first game we have seen for many many years is how quickly the Argis went to ground and then rolled all over it, but we did enjoy the rest of it.

Watching a football match could be a good analogy to describe how different people see different things. I have no particular interest in football per se, and very rarely watch it. Notwithstanding this I do recognise good play and poor play and am very impressed when players demonstrate agility and their skill at deceiving their opponents.
We watched the match in both French and English because of poor signal quality which made things tedious. From what I saw, I think that the English commentators must have been briefed by John Cleese.
