Eh, won't be an asterisk near it in the records and not like the majority of football fans really give that much of a ****.

That was the most eventful and exciting WC final I have ever watched. France seemed doomed in the first half and then came back in the second half. And extra time was equally as exciting 

I always wonder if PK are the best way to decide victory but I suppose you need to find a way to get a result?

I know they flip a coin to determine sides at the start, but that would be rather unsporting to decided the outcome that way in case of a draw.

Since duel to the death with swords is off the table too, maybe toe wrestling? The side with the strongest feet are declared the winner

Is just L'Equipe anyway. FIFA should just give the two a match ban or something, but no big deal. 

Some really weird refereeing this tournament.  Still love Neymar getting away with a blatant tactical foul (actually a LOT of these went uncarded) and Messi having a handball ignored.

I suppose they could just do alternating set plays rather than extra time. That would at least involve the full teams.

Well, they already did all of that. Drawling lots, full replays, deciding games by alternating corner kicks, the works. Curious why none of that stuck around for modern football. :p

 

No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

Solution we have is not perfect but is better than the others.
