Astonishing that Martial has seen so little time in this tournament never mind this final.

France would be celebrating right now if Benzema wasn't such a dodgy bastard.

Geroge Hamilton and Beglin are awful, does George even watch games in his free time? All Beglin does is speak the complete obvious but gives off a tone that implies he has an astute knowledge of the game.

That was funny on BBC about a chant in France for Gignac as his physique was questioned in the past: one big mac for Gignac.

After Ronaldo went out it just shows that French team is so not deserving to win this.
Portugal would eat them of the plate if R stayed in.

Sorry I haven't see that happening, would be epic.

I can't understand how Matuidi is starting games over Kante.

And Pogba should be 20 yards further forward.

Because he's a better all round player than Kante.

And had Gignac scored it would have been all the sweeter as Pepe would have had nightmares for years.

What are the chances of this going to penalties and Ronaldo to come back on with seconds left in extra time, then score the winning penalty.

To be fair, the space he opens up alone, changes a game.

And it's a lot easier to break if you've got a fit Ronaldo waiting around the halfway line.

I don't like the Icelandic chant being copied and they're doing it all wrong: too fast.
