Great goal by France. Nobody was going to stop that. Until then Croatia had been owning the match. 

One thing for sure, Croatia will not panic.

    20 years ago when France won, where was this team?

    France 2-0. They are just the better team and easily the 2nd most complete team in this tournament.   2nd most because they don't dive nearly as well as Brazil.

    I think the Croatian defenders are going to rough up France. Croatia has more experience. Never underestimate old age and treachery. 

Fuck there's the dreaded early goal. France will now sit back the rest of the game

Maybe. Croatia hasn't played a defense the quality of France.  Nor a team that is as dangerous offensively.

I’m not so sure that it was as much a “dive” as it was a bad call by the red.  Seemed like griezmann just slipped and the red called it. He didn’t go down hard gesticulating or any of that...just fell to the ground.

Vida looks like Tonya Harding. 

vida has also impressed this tournament

So much for the efforts earlier in the cup to clean up grabbing in the box.  I guess there's not enough courage to give a penalty in the final.

So far being too tentative

He clearly hesitated and anticipated getting fouled to set up the free kick IMO.

Wasn't a dive. He tripped on his own feet. But Griezmann sat on the ground after and sold it.

I do not think France will go conservative. They know what Croatia has done to everyone else and they know they need three goals to put this away.

Nor do I. France has only scored 1 other goal in the first 30 minutes. And that was in the Argentina game, it ended 4-3.

Agree. They'll keep the foot on the gas. This is a final. 

What a goal!

Great for the game too as now France won't be able to just sit on the lead like against Belgium.

Jesus that was a weak ass yellow card

That was a ridiculous yellow. 

that's a standard yellow. you break up the break from behind, you get booked.

Fair enough. I’m an extremely casual soccer fan who buys the newest version of FIFA every year, I’ll admit that. Just seemed very incidental, but I guess that doesn’t matter. I thought it was more of a judgement call.

Was a brief touch, issue was it was a breakaway. More fans the the better!

Eh I thought it was weak, Kante is separating away from the player and the Croat player's heal kicks up so high and back he hits a retreating Kante and falls....to me it's an unfortunate part of the game, a foul, ok...a card nah.
