    Was never a foul for the free kick, the pen was 50-50 for me.

    I would be sick if I was a Croatia fan and this ends 2-1.They are the much better side as well.Pogba was also off side for free kick!

    After hearing the law book read by Lineker then that was not a pen.

    The ref had no option to award a penalty once he had to watch the VAR. Hand moved to the ball and deflected it away from goal. Unfortunate for Croatia who, for me, have been the better side. Hopefully Croatia will score the next goal (and bugger up my prediction)

    Im glad they didnt win this 2-1 with 2 dubious goals, they have done to Croatia what they did to Belgium and picked them off on the counter, deserved win.

    Well Mbappe scores so bet landed but still feel sad for Croatia as this score does not reflect the French performance.Ive updated the final table of the compo there.

    I think the better team lost. France showed their class for 10 mins to finish it off. Gutted for Croatia

    Had a few quid on 4-1 to France @ 66s. Not happy about the dodgy decisions in the first half but then the thought of a nice little payout as the French surged ahead remedied my feeling of injustice. Then that Spurs twat Lloris does that <laugh><doh>. Great World Cup, watched with my little lad of 7 who got interested in football about 6 months ago. I've no doubt this tournament has laid a firm foundation for a lifetime of enjoyment (and some misery) of this great game.

    I trust your language was not too uncouth in front of your wee lad! What club does he support?

    Chelsea. Can't say I'm overly chuffed with his choice but I'm hardly going to convince him to support Lincoln City am I and his mother's side having been buying him Liverpool shirts since the day he was born. It was good to give that lot the 2 finger salute <laugh>.

    Great game Ste and if the weather stays good there should be some decent action with this Indian touring side.
