The 11 reasons you probably watched the greatest World Cup final ever
Featuring dizzying highs and desperate lows, Argentina’s penalty shootout win over defending champions France was an instant classic.
Thom GibbsIt was noted in some quarters before Argentina v France that we had waited a long time for a truly memorable World Cup final.
That felt a slightly harsh assessment on Sunday morning, not so much by Sunday night (about 5am AEDT on Monday). So move over Brazil 0 Italy 0 AET in 1994, we have a new champion.
