World Cup final: Oops, Piers Morgan has done it again

France certainly didn’t beat Argentina 3-1, and they certainly didn’t win the World Cup. He was also wrong about Mbappé scoring twice, because he actually got a hat-trick.

Griezmann was superb throughout the tournament but chose an awful time to have an awful match. In truth, most of his teammates were bad too.
