All World Cup Finals Since 1998

Nielsen! The crossbar. Winding up though to have a hit. Oh and it was certainly spectacular. A stunning, swerving strike and an equally fine save from Marcos. Now Rivaldo. Oh and Kahn spilled it. Ronaldo! To make the breakthrough. His predatory instincts take over. And Brazil lead midway through this second half. But you have to feel for Oliver Kahn. A really strong run from Clemenceau. Rivaldo's left it. Ronaldo scores! For the second time in the space of a dozen second halves. Oliver Bierhoff. Smart shot on the turn. Equally fine save from the impressive Marcos. There'll be no time to take the free kick as the full-time whistle goes. And Brazil are champions of the world once more. A record-extending fifth title comes at the expense of Germany. Who suffered defeat in the final for the fourth time. In the space for Malouda. Who takes it on and goes down. Penalty! Yes, just. The bounce off the underside of the bar. Crept the right side of the line. Deep from Pirlo. For Materazzi! A moment of near instant redemption. Pirlo's delivery. Oh, it's off the bar. Almost a carbon copy. This time for Luca Toni. This is in the Euro 2000 final. These two finish 90 minutes locked together and 1-1. Time to measure the delivery for Zidane. What a save. Just as it looked as though he was about to provide his career with the perfect ending. The Italians have a man down by their own penalty area. Oh my word. That is extraordinary. It's penalties to decide the winners of the 2006 World Cup. A spot for Italy. Down the middle Pirlo. One out of one for the Azzurri. But never like this. He's done it now. Emphatically. 1-1. He's up to it. Goodness is he up to it. That one didn't cross the line. Scores. Just right. Off run. Sancho scores. The ball towards him. The shot. This is Kelemur trying to reach Piqué. Ball, second. Ball. The shot. The side of the net. He's left alone in front of Van Bommel. Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my. What is this? But what is this? But what a spectacle. Let's go Casillas. Robben Casillas. That's it. I'm out of the game. Kroos with the take. Against the post. Walked through here for Lionel Messi. Flag has stayed down. And Messi. Has rolled it past Goya. But there was a target area. Perisic. 1-1. Griezmann. Hayter repelled at the near post by Perisic. The French are screaming at Boll. He's given a penalty. From Griezmann. Griezmann. Pogba. Running it for Solkow. Here's Mbappé. Oh my, wow. Kicks. The ultimate teenage kick. All on his feet. Kylian Mbappé. Off to the reach. Was cornered by Macron. The Deschamps double is complete. Di Maria. Lovely swivel of the hips. Down goes Di Maria. Penalty Argentina. Messi. Turns it out to Alvarez. Who gets it through. And that's McAllister. Looking at Di Maria. Well on top in the World Cup. McAllister and Messi. Bottom end. He had the head start. But he's been beaten now by Thuram. And Thuram's down. And that's going to be a penalty. Get the game back on. Mbappé. Gets the return. Messi finds McAllister. And Messi now finds Martínez. What a block. The following from Montiel. And another one. This time Varane in the way. And looks to find Lautaro. Martínez. Martínez puts it wide. There's Messi. Messi wants it again. Lloris in the way. Was it off the line or over the line? The referee's had a look at the watch. Well the referee has pointed to the middle and said goal. He says. One more punt forward. Colombo. France. And Mbappé will score for France. He sends his message. And he rolls it in. Wide.
