Best squad in tournament won it in simple terms. They’re the ones everyone is gonna be marked against for a few years as they are gonna get better.
I thought that the minute he threw himself down, sly enough then the whole team surrounding the ref for the penalty, shades of Man U at their best, and the two worst offenders sitting in the studio arguing about justice. Shameful, the best team lost today no question.
Looking unbeatable for a couple of five minute spells is not a qualification for greatness imo. It might win a boxing match, but in footballl terms Croatia were the far better team today, and but for a useless referee would have walked that match.
The best team was France, regardless of what happened in the 1st half, France took Croatia apart in the 2nd.
Imagine Mbappe at a proper top club. He must have passed Neymar in Reals thoughts, what a ****ing player.
I thought Croatia played better football but France had all the luck and that's a hard thing to overcome. France have better players on paper no doubt about that.
A bit like us last season , but no you are spot on, the French have some great players , Croatia were for me the team of the tournament and unlucky to be beaten on the day, weak refereeing handed the French the game, far too many poor officials at this World Cup imo.
All still better than a British one apparently. We all like to complain about the refs here but are they any worse? I don't think so
I believe he was transferred last year for over 100m, if so, this shows how highly rated he is already.
My thoughts. France were handed the initiative by a weak referee, this played right into their gallic mits, take away the "gifts" and the score going into the last quarter? shoul have been 2-1 to France, then we would have had a proper game on our hands, goals change games as they say. France are the World Champions, prefer them to Germany any day, but I would have loved to see Croatia win it. Love underdogs me .
Can’t believe it’s come and gone . Only two minutes since we said “ unbelievable, they’ve awarded it to Russia “
