That's true. TSN has been there for the tournament and CTV has been there for the news features.

The only way this final could be worse if it was England vs France.

I suppose I'm cheering for Argentina, even with the bull#### endless calls in their favour for Messi. And I like Messi.

So I guess it's FFF me (#### france for)

It'll be interesting to see how that develops over time especially going into the Euros.
Croatia does have a phenomenal player coming up in Marin Ljubicic.

I’ve gone back and forth and I think I’m pulling for Argentina. I like Messi and it would be awesome to see him win the World Cup!

I do think France is a better team though and maybe too strong for Argentina.

Di Maria on for Paredes suggests Argentina are going to attack, and rightly so, Hernandez.

I'm going for Argentina to squeeze it. It's close!

And am eager to see how the ref handles the handling of Mbabbe and Messi.

Yeah, I'm fully on Team Argentina now - this is fun watching Messi turn back the clock a bit this whole tournament!

Phht that was stupid by Dembele, can't chase guys in the box from behind.
It's about positioning. If you touch a guy from behind, it's on you.

Garbage call. A breeze dropped him. It's amusing that France can be out dived.

Some of these players need to watch Chris Tanev play.

The flopping is impressive so far. It honestly makes it hard to enjoy these games.
