Old people

Fully expecting the 60+ years old people to claim there's been better WC finals than that. Really? Really has there been better world cup finals and tournaments than that?
Regardless of the fact that France didn't turn up till the 75th minute. This final has still been pure drama.
In my lifetime (born 1990 and so I remember 98 earliest), the best world cups have been this one, 2018, 2014, and 1998. To me that doesn't sound like age bias. The more recent tournaments have been great. Yet speaking to older gen people they'll tell you the greatest are those of the 50s 60s etc without really any proof from fixtures/results. Take note posters like Sandy. This and 2018 are imo the best two in my life and maybe best ever.

Best tournament I've seen and I was born in 1990. More twists and turns than the Monaco GP

So you haven't seen that many then.

I used to be a "young people", but only until I left school and joined the Merchant Navy. I grew up very quickly then. I now prefer to be an "older people" as I know so much more. Life can knock the the corners off you and make you a more rounded, well-balanced person if you are willing to learn from it. It is more enjoyable then.

People turning 60 have probably got another 7/8 World Cups to see yet

"Old people" facking hell, listen to yourself.

You pal, are a mere pup who has not seen anything, experienced anything, but think you know it all.

For a start that final you are banging on about was a total non event until the last 10 minutes of normal time. It was also riddled with cheating and bad sportsmanship. Nah, not the best final by a long chalk.

Exactly Steve, he will get the wisdom eventually to see through the media conspiracy against spurs.

Not from me. I refused to have anything to do with it. Didn't’ watch a single second.

If it wasn’t for headlines popping up on The Guardian on my iPad I wouldn’t even know it was on - just the way I wanted it to be.

Now, back to proper EPL football, please.

(Pleased for Messi, though.)

Do all 60+ year olds also think exactly the same as Jeremy Clarkson?

All the WC players have played far more games at this point of the season than usual. Add to that a shorter pre season and you should see the effects. I think the Germans/Bundesliga will benefit the most from a short WC and a proper winter breaks."

Even if Germany had made the finals they'd have a bigger break, the Bundesliga starts on the 21st Jan!..

Think the Premier play at least 3 games and a cup game before they start new!..

The Dutch side in 74 was awesome and we had an English ref in the final. His job was easier then though as we didn't have players on the floor in agony when someone sneezed. The Dutch side in 78 should really have won it!
