    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.

God willing it won’t. Croatia a better team SO FAR. Score doesn’t show it and thems the breaks but I still hope they win

Work rate for the Croatians is ridiculous. 

Completely different compared to how they looked v RUS for what ever reason

Hand ball on Croatia. Don’t know if they’ll get it though. 

All I’ve seen of France today is long ball to mbabbe. That their whole style? Kinda weak and haven’t focused on their games

Croatians are on something. No one can have this type of energy after their KO run. 

What would it take to stop the World Cup Final? 

 

Seriously Fox? They have rules for weather - you should try reading them.

That could have been a card for the Croat there for grabbing Mbappe, he is so quick that could have led to a shot on goal

Hasn’t been their style for the tourney.  But they have had a lot of success with it and I’m sure they think there is a huge advantage there. 

Incredible that France is winning. Zero chances off regular play, everything from set pieces. 

Penalty kick.  France.   And he makes it.  

 

 

 

Just doing this for the lulz

France sucks, if you can't score off open play, you ain't shit. 

Croatia looks the better team but has gotten two rough breaks.  Not as physical as Spain-Holland but seems like there's an unusual amount of grabbing and tripping going on.

You're kidding right?

Nope!

Too bad we didn't have VAR when the US played Germany a couple of WC's ago, OR for the bs Panama goal on the last day of qualification.  /still bitter

It would suck for France to win because of an own goal and a somewhat questionable penalty.

Scrolled through the comments. Pleasantly surprised nobody tried to argue that handball wasn't a pen

You're at least 15 mins behind the rest of the world Bevojoe, catch up or don't read this thread cos....Spoilers

The own goal was the result of the questionable penalty. The handball was legit.

Which penalty are you talking about? Because the handball was a clear penalty.

There wasn't anything questionable about it

Croatia usually has a lot more energy than their opponents in 2nd half. Something like 3 of their games went to penalty kicks to be decided. 

The Itv dudes in the studio are still whining about the VAR ruling. One said in a hundred million years that’s not a penalty.  Another says he guarantees the ref never played football. I should tweet them a link to this thread so they can get their learn on. 

Usually when people running full speed get kicked in the shin they fall down

Even so, it didn't alter the outcome of the play. I've always thought it was a shit way to award a pen.

 Yep! Caught up now. Sorry!

What are you talking about? It halted a cross into the box, that alters play about as much as you can.

And a handball is a shit way to award a penalty?

WTF?

i still think the actual world cup trophy is trash. hate everything about the way it looks. it has no majesty. like the stanley cup or the lombardi. 

This is the sloppiest I have seen them since Portugal in 2016. They are a fucking mess.

Les Bleus better wake the fuck up. 

No shit. I didn't realize that the Griezmann shot was their first shot of the game.

 

 

VAR should be here to stay. Less bad offside calls. Players are being kept honest on set pieces. From the reverse angle you can see how the Croatian player moves his hand from being at neck level down to block the ball.

Yeah, it does kinda looks like some kid’s shitty paper mache art project.
