Argentina v France

Thu 01 Jan, 01:00

Argentina 3-3 France (Argentina win 4-2 on penalties): And that is that. Argentina win the World Cup after holding their nerve in the shootout. France did not know when they were beaten but in the end it's the Albiceleste who come out on top and Messi has a World Cup title to his name. Awards to come!

FT in ET: Argentina 3-3 France: It's going to penalties. Messi brace, Mbappe hat-trick. This game has had everything.

Argentina v France

Thu 01 Jan, 01:00

ET: Argentina 3-3 France: GOAL! This is ridiculous - once again France come back into the game and once again it's through Mbappe, who scores a penalty awarded after a hand-ball from Montiel.

Argentina v France

Thu 01 Jan, 01:00

ET: Argentina 3-2 France: It was written in the stars, wasn't it? Messi bundles in a third for Argentina after a smart move from the Albiceleste. Can they hang on for the last ten minutes?

Argentina v France

Thu 01 Jan, 01:00

HT in ET: Argentina 2-2 France: Argentina came close in the first half of extra-time, firstly through a strike from Montiel and then through a one-on-one chance from Lautaro Martinez but it is still all square.

Argentina v France

Thu 01 Jan, 01:00

ET: Argentina 2-2 France: France are the ones applying the pressure early in extra-time, earning a free-kick close to goal before getting a corner but nothing comes from either. Nervy times in Lusail.

Argentina v France

Thu 01 Jan, 01:00

FT: Argentina 2-2 France: The 2022 World Cup final is going into extra-time. France looked out of it only for an Mbappe brace to level the scores. Messi had a late strike from distance saved by Lloris. These sides could be tough to separate and this looks wide open, so a bet on a goal to be scored in extra time could be the way to go.

Argentina v France

Thu 01 Jan, 01:00

Argentina 2-2 France: Eight minutes of added time in Lusail as both teams search for a late winner.

Argentina v France

Thu 01 Jan, 01:00

Argentina 2-2 France: GOAL! What a turnaround in Lusail. From nowhere, France are back in this game as Mbappe lashes home a second. He also leads in the race for the Golden Boot with that strike.

Argentina v France

Thu 01 Jan, 01:00

Argentina 2-1 France: GOAL! Kolo Muani gets goal-side of Otamendi, who brings him down and France get a penalty, which is tucked away by Mbappe. Game on in Lusail!

Argentina v France

Thu 01 Jan, 01:00

Argentina 2-0 France: France put the ball in and Otamendi sends it out for a corner with a skewed clearance but nothing comes of it. Just over 20 minutes remaining for Les Bleus to work their way back into the game.

Argentina v France

Thu 01 Jan, 01:00

Argentina 2-0 France: De Paul is down after a challenge from Rabiot. The tempo has dropped early in this second half and Argentina are not pushing for a third.

Argentina v France

Thu 01 Jan, 01:00

Argentina 2-0 France: The second half has begun in Lusail. France will be hoping for better after an underwhelming first period.

Argentina v France

Thu 01 Jan, 01:00

HT: Argentina 2-0 France: A Messi penalty and a counter-attack finished off by Di Maria puts Argentina ahead at the break. The onus is now on France, who have been poor and created little but must take it up a gear in the second half, so both teams to score could still be a value selection.

Argentina v France

Thu 01 Jan, 01:00

Argentina 2-0 France: SUBS! Giroud and Dembele both pulled off by Deschamps, who replaces them with Thuram and Kolo Muani. Really poor first-half performance from France, who need change after the break.

Argentina v France

Thu 01 Jan, 01:00

Argentina 2-0 France: GOAL! Argentina break and MacAllister plays through Di Maria, who fires in a second. A terrific team goal and the Albiceleste are in dreamland.

Argentina v France

Thu 01 Jan, 01:00

Argentina 1-0 France: GOAL! Huge moment in Lusail as Di Maria is brought down by Dembele and Argentina are given a penalty. And who else but Messi steps up and converts.

Argentina v France

Thu 01 Jan, 01:00

Argentina 0-0 France: Argentina looking sharp. A cut-back across the box is skied over the bar by Di Maria but the Albiceleste look more up for this.

Argentina v France

Thu 01 Jan, 01:00

Argentina 0-0 France: Lloris is down for France. Argentina have started the better of the two sides, earning an early corner. France need to regain their composure in these early stages.

Argentina v France

Thu 01 Jan, 01:00

Argentina 0-0 France: Kick-off at the Lusail Stadium. With the attacking quality on show today in Golden Boot contenders Messi and Mbappe, goals could well be on the cards so both teams to score looks a decent pick.

Thu 01 Jan, 01:00

Argentina v France: Team news is in for the World Cup final. Angel Di Maria starts for Argentina, while France make two changes from the semi-finals with Dayot Upamecano preferred to Ibrahima Konate in defence and Adrien Rabiot replacing Youssouf Fofana in midfield.

England Thu 01 Jan, 01:00

The FA have confirmed Gareth Southgate will continue as England manager until Euro 2024.

Croatia v Morocco

Thu 01 Jan, 01:00

Croatia 2-1 Morocco FT: Croatia have matched their effort of 1998 as they secured third place with a deserving victory over Morocco. All the goals came in the first half and although Livakovic made a good save in the second and En-Nesyri missed a last-gasp header, Croatia created more opportunities throughout and might have had a penalty on another day. Still both sides were not expected to make it this far and can take positives from their respective World Cup campaigns.
