Mulled this over for a little while and I think I’d like France to lose by slightly less than Argentina.

I think France will have enough to win this one.
Argentina’s defence has looked shaky all tournament.
Would prefer Argentina to win solely to see the goat lift the World Cup.

Me too, but that's not why I want them to win. In my world, if Messi wins the WC, he cements his position as the worlds best footballer.

I hope Messi doesn’t win the World Cup because I find the debate about who is the better player between him and Ronaldo enthralling, and would like it to continue forever.

Hate the fact that every man and his dog are willing Lionel Messi to win the world Cup, sick to death of hearing about him, you'd think he was the only world class footballer, there's lots are world class in their own right, but just different, c'mon France.

The incessant salivating over Messi potentially winning the cup is getting rather tedious. Hate to say it, but come on France.

Something to look forward to in the second half. The way he just dropped down into that pocket of space with a head injury was so graceful though.

Can't get any excitement about this game, don't want either team to win. Yesterday's game against Boro was far more important as far as I'm concerned.

Two ordinary teams that unfortunately can't both lose. At a push I hope France win with a goal scored from a handball.

Pen Argentina. DiMaria has been lively. Whoever steps up to take this has big stones.

Hang on! This is THE most important game in world football, and every football fan has to watch it. Didn’t you get the memo?

looked another soft Pen to Argentina, I only saw 1 replay as I wasn't paying attention - was it a foul ?

The football isn't up to much but the cheating has been top notch so far.

Yep, South Americans have a totally different mentality to us when it comes to cheating. They genuinely see cheating as ‘good play’ if you can get away with it.

France have been woeful, like they were against England.
