A strange but entertaining match.

Too bad the dirty eternally surrendering f**king slimy amphibians had to win.

The referee's and FIFA's pet.

Sad to see it end that way, but the most entertaining and positively played World Cup final in a while.

The Croatian president is a champion. All these world leaders and officials in their designer suits and she’s just in a jersey all tournament

You see the replay of that Griezemann dive?

That's horrific.

They've been gifted two goals.

If the football Gods exist they'll shine on Croatia in the second half.

It would be criminal not to give the handball

He moved his arm in reaction to the ball

First angle looked a dive the second view there was clear contact. Obvious free kick.

That was also a clear penalty.

There is a view from behind where you can see him start to take a dive before any contact is made. Pretty rough call imo but can understand the ref giving it live.

It was a good final imo. Croatia unlucky, but France were the better side. Pogba and Mpabbe's goals were nice, so much space. We can dream of ever having players like them.

France were deserved winners. Croatia did look better in the first half but they didnt actually threaten the goal much at all. That was a final very worth staying up for though, oppposite of the predicted cagey affair, was quite fast and ferocious

Yeah, that’s what I thought

But free kicks that are 50/50 calls happen all the time (in this case making a call live is 50/50)

I couldn’t figure out why Kante got a yellow, let alone give away a free kick
