Coverage of the final (Kick-off 8.00pm), which takes place at New York/New Jersey Stadium in the USA. The fans in attendance who paid exorbitant prices to witness this showpiece match will hope for a more entertaining spectacle than what Brazil and Italy provided to those in Pasadena at the final of USA 94. On that occasion 94,194 people endured 120 minutes of uninspiring action in the first final not to feature a single goal, before Brazil became the first nation to win the World Cup final in a penalty shootout and lift the trophy for a fourth time. Four of the last five finals have gone into extra time, including the memorable match in Qatar four years ago that saw France and Argentina draw 3-3, with Argentina winning the penalty shootout, while four years previously France defeated Croatia 4-2 in the allotted 90 minutes in Moscow
