Donald Russell I was talking from the firsr game Pogba has been out of this world 4 goals as well unbelievable yes Modric has been good but not in the same level as Pogba mate
France astonishingly, have been in three of the last six World Cup Final's, winning it twice, in that time period. That's a superior record to Brazil, Germany, Spain, in that time period.
Absolutely right. On Pogba's goal, you can see how he almost fell down after leaning on his right side on the Frenchman's 1st strike , then he couldn't jump on the 2nd strike. Croatia played long matches on the road to the final, they paid the price in the end.
Congratulations to France. We tried, our boys left their heart on the field, but in the end it just wasn't our day. Hopefully we meet in the final again one day.
That's a seriously classy comment. Your players may have left their hearts on the field, but they won a lot of admiration in the hearts of the world wide audience. Glad to see Croatia fulfill their usual label as tournament dark horses.
Sam Brown tell me I am not right? You weren't better today but you won because you were pushed by that scumbag referee Pitana 2 times in the lead! Btw.I knew as soon as I saw that we play against France and not Belgiium that we will be robbed... Now I am sorry that we beat Engled at least they would have fair refereeing but they would lose too because their team is not strrong enough!
Mike Rivera: El arbitro Argentino hizo un buen trabajo. Los 2 primeros goles franceses, fueron validos y completamente legitimos. Asi que si vos no podes aceptar la logica de la situacion, entonces sos un verdadero boludo, que no entendes absolutamente nada de futbol.
Thanks again for the uploads throughout this world cup! Great to here the lads on rte after the games as i live in nyc. Many many thanks. A great world cup.
Don't forget France ain't like England and Russia that you drag till extra time. This guys ain't jokes on top of that france gave free goal to Croatia then demolish it
Muppets like you think Croatia is any where near France in terms of talent. Deschamps is just an idiot for playing this way. No team will be able to match a French line up of Dembele,Griezzman,Mbappe...Pogba,Kante,Matuidi and their current back four.
Croatia dominated the entire game same as Belgium did....sad part is the ref conditioned the game against Croatia at their best moment. It flipped the game towards France ..and all the world agrees ..no ref would call that a penalty...unless you are bought and paid for...sad that we have to see this kind of ref in the finals of the world cup...congratulations to Croatia team...you guys have presented attacking football that we all love to watch...
Everybody agrees that Modric and Perisic should have lifted the World Cup for Croatia. The free kick for France 1st goal was disgracful and as for Perisic, is he meant to chop his arms off.... a disgusting decision to award a penalty. Croatia players, you have made everyone proud of your country.
Prague Moon , Croatia dominated the first 15 minutes of the 2nd half. In fact, I would say they were the better team in 80 of the 90 minutes. It was only a 10 minute span from France's 3rd goal to Mandzukic's goal. Croatia tried to get that 2nd goal by putting there fullbacks up top. Because of bad refereeing, they were made to chase the game constantly. This made them open in the back and easy for France to exploit that space.
Roberto Salazar : Have you somehow forgotten as to why Croatia made it all the way to the World Cup Final ? Simple. Because they easily defeated 6 extremely weak defensive teams. So then why did Croatia could not beat France in the Final ? Because the french both have a well-balanced attack, and a solid, very strong defensive unit. Did you somehow forgotten that old proverb which said : DEFENCE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS ? Well, buddy. That is exactly what happened at this World Cup Final.
it was a dive then Pogba was in offside position and he pushed mandzukic seconds later then that a joke of a penalty - not good enough for the final - referee changed the game completely. France should give him a medal too . Croatia was a much better team today
LOL it's a dive but i's also a foul, nothing to argue about that free kick. Why don't you bitch about Kante's foul that brings perisic's goal ? Big big dive from the croatian :) . And Pogba is 100% NOT OFFSIDE, Go watch the images again dude.... So many biased haters....
It was rigged. But Croatia goalie made a mistake of letting two easy French goals. The ref when looking at the replay already decided it was not a penalty but hen went back to look at it again beacause of the pressure of those 3 Fifa guys who made him go back. Anyways France is the worst team to win this World Cup. Croatia were the better team, showed what real football is all about. Completely dominated but luck and the ref was not on they're side.
France scored 11 goals in knock out stage whereas Croatia just scored 7 goals.France won all its game in knock out whereas Croatia qualified twice on penalty. In the final, it was a penalty at 100% for the following reasons : When a player touch the ball with his arm or hand and that touch changes the direction of the ball it is a penalty. It was penalty at 100%. We have seen many penalties given for far less. True taht Croatia had 60% of the possession against France but what is the point if you can not score. France has won 3 major tournament in 20 years and played 5 major tournament so live with that. There was no robbery at all in that final, you are just disappointed because your team lost. So to all the one who are pissed off because France won and because you don not like that team, live with it lol, and learn the rules of the game. Congrats to Croatia they played well they deserved to be in final but a match has to be WIN and France knows hoe to win it. So all the following champion are underserved winner : Spain won in 2010 they score 4 goals in knock out stage, Germany in 1990 and 2014 when they won the WC they scored 4 and 5 goals only, Brasil in 1994 scored only 6 goals.
Exactly.. our goalie was terrible through many games we were frustrated.. he would never commit/extend.. too bad our last goalie retired. Yes we got some bad breaks but our goalie was the difference no matter what the ref did. Really sucks because the team other than the goalie outplayed France. Most wont say this because our goalie won shootouts in a couple games, but shootouts are mainly 50/50 left or right..
This is a terrible day for football. its not worth watching if there is no level playing field. I can't believe everyone is glossing over the two horrendous refereeing decisions, this was the worst world cup final in history, I have nothing against france, but they were gifted the highest prize in football, V.A.R. was supposed to eliminate these kind of mistakes, but it has ensured that they were crucial in deciding the biggest game of them all. what a terrible way to end the competition. im with Roy Keane, he said, ''the decision was a disgrace, I am livid, the Croatia players deserve better'' and I think everyone watching deserves better too.

Frances 3rd and 4th goals were off some tired, weak Croatian defence.But the biggest question now looking back is was Subasic even fit enough to start. His feet seemed to be stuck to the ground, movement was horrible. And his body language was so different to any of his other games .
Pogba showed respect to Zlatko Dalic bowing at him! Respect for the great player and man!!!! France won the world cup but we win the fans around the world!!!! #VatreniponosHrvatske Greetings from Zagreb
Great producers of footballers, they forgot to mention Eden Hazard, was joined the youth academy of French club Lille LOSC at 14 yo before getting his first professional contract for that same club in Ligue 1. French football don't have riches bare PSG but PSG is not the type of club that traditionally create great players: Lille, Caen, Le Mans, Le Havre, Rennes, Lorient, etc. They are the ones who create the best of European football. Lille did with Hazard what Chelsea was unable to do with Kakuta. Kauta moved to Chelski at 15 or 16 yo and was maybe even more talented than Zidane. Zidane himself only left Ligue 1 (Cannes then Bordeaux) for Juventus at 24 yo. That says everything young French players need to know, if you want to reach the Top, don't leave the French league in your teenage years because the Premier League and Spanish Liga are more than often meat grinders.
BonuxCouleur don't say bullshit. Griezmann, and Hernandez were trained in spain. Kakuta was trained in Lens before Chelsea. PSG has trained Kimpembe, Areola, Anelka, Rabiot, Sakho, etc.
A lot of defensive errors kind of ruined it for me. I knew Croatia's defense wouldn't be great but I expected better of France defensively. Well done to the French but the forwards and midfielders won this game.
4-2... Strong strikers, strong defense... Nothing to add, the best team, the best players, England has to learn from it and stop any stupid polemic, it's hard to be fair and honest, for sure...
Bad refereeing, Both 1st and 2nd France goals were absolutely Bogus. That wasn't even a foul to have a Free kick on the first goal and that was no penalty that ended up for France's second goal. Croatia should have won as they played Beautiful Football. France sat back hoping for counter attacks. I don't like the way France plays football, they played the same way against a better team Belgium.The Final should have been Croatia vs Belgium as they both played the Beautiful game.
Mbappe is better than Messi and ronaldo I don’t give a damn what anyone says. When you show up like that in a World Cup final as a kid, then you’re doing Pele type shit. MBAPPE IS THE NEW KING
I don’t think it was an accident that globalist France played and beat ethnically Slavic Croatia for the final. The symbolism FIFA wanted to push across was clear. Countries that had majority populations or governments against immigration did poorly. Germany - out of group stage America - did not qualify Italy - did not qualify Netherlands - did not qualify Austria - did not qualify Not to disparage multiculturalism but FIFA had a clear agenda
In modern football it’s extremely difficult to score against a set defence, goals are scored in transition, on counters, and had the ref not gifted France two goals and Croatia would have been one nil up after the 1st half and France would have to chase the equalizer, it would have been a different game.
France always plays defensively and attacks through counters. So they let Croatia come forward and play. That's called STRATEGY!. . So don't say croatia played well and were unlucky!
Anoop B In the actual match, not in your fantasy, France tried to have the ball but Croatia was superior in skills. They dominated the game. Don't come up with a silly excuse why they didn't have the ball that much. France did absolutely nothing in this match.
Wow, so much saltiness and just utter racist nonsense from many folks in this chanel. The referee made a judgemental call on the hand ball after reviewing it. Moreover, even if Croatia had most of the possesion, they lacked any sort of threat in the French box, period. Sounds the French and Deschamps strategy was to soak up the pressure abd counter attack at will which worked to perfection. The French defence was impregbable while individual players like Griezmann , Mbappe and Pogba were phenomenal. So folks, stop whining and pay tribute to a wonderful final game.
france first two goals came from soft referee, the second two came as a consequence of the first 2. if france is forced to chase the game it's a different game. croatia can feel hard done by. but at the end of the day when france's demographics are the same of their soccer team they will be the real losers. croatia team was actually croatian and they played with art & style.

Paul Pogba existed before Manchester United. Maybe everyone who only knows the EPL just discovered Paul Pogba but he had a life at Juventus before hand. If he wants to be the best he can be and enjoy his football he needs to put as much water between himself and the Special Moan as possible.
Pogba is only any good when surrounded by talented players playing against weaker teams , he was lucky he scored coz he did nothing else Hes not worth 90 million ( not even worth half ) ..he had 2 bad tournaments in row ( euros and wc ) and hes been a MEGA flop at utd ..the worst flop of all time
Right about that, Keva; Pogba must be depressed by the quality he has to deal with at United. He should leave for a team with worthy talent and it would be great if United cut their losses and sold him for what they valued him at (40 million or so) to Barca, PSG, Atletico Madrid or back to Juve. Think of it! United would have the cash for a mega deal to pry Jordan Henderson from 'pool!!
Many haters and jealous post here against us french team , we robbed croatia blabla , what did croatia ? Many dangerous ocasions ? No . One great goal yea ? Thats fukin all !!! U can play a nice football , got possession yea , but if u r not able to score us thats for some reason , our defense and middlfield . And our attack can make the difference at any moments , look mbappe , we never robbed u , u talk about the penalty , for me there is a hand , far of the body so , and if you want we give you that , still 3 2 , u talk about the own goal ? This is football , like lloris quasi own goal!! We were the best for all this reason , keep the ball we take the win and scored 14 goal , not that bad for a " park the bus team " as you think( who s wrong )This team is smart strong with many talents , perfect chemistry and a rising star mbappe , and we deserved this cup , haters gonna hate i will dream tonight
Well, they did much more than France did. Two game changing bad referee decisions that let France score two goals. In this stage, it is impossible to recover from that. I'm disappointed in France team performance. Maybe France would win anyway, but we will never know that now. Too bad for football.
Why u think there s no penalty ? What croatia did more than france ? possession ? we let them that was the deschamps strategy . sacrify the talent for the chemistry . we are a wall . yea croatia made some good passes and sometimes a cross , no real danger for lloris. 1 nice goal ( after a free kick ) thats all . All our opponents think we do not deserve but they just dont see how strong we are since argentina to the cup, b4 we had a good defense but thats all
If the rules were that every hand contact with ball is penalty, than this would be penalty. But the rules are not like that (and with good reason). As for the answer to rest, give a Croatia 2 goal for free, and we would see if France would recover from that. I don't think they would and I think that Croatia would slam them even harder.
Got u man. But the Hate Goes towards the Ref and FiFa. They destroyed a final. And France was the worse team that day, especially 1st Half. I wanted to see the France like with Belgium, but didnt show up. For me a disappointing final.
France win is a victory for PASSPORT DOPING!!! But they are not the only country in the world doing it many others INCLUDING IRELAND Indulge in this practice!! Every player should represent the country they were born In otherwise it is stealing from another country a big example is Ireland stealing Northern Irish players!
We played with the right tactic with the right tactic!!! Whatever haters say we were more disciplined, more conscientious, more responsible of this match!!! Congrats!!!! Love France, its real diversity, its real values, its real French emotions!!! ❤️❤️❤️🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 only foreigners care about origin! In France everybody knows that the only things that make you a French is your Values!!!!!! All equal!!!! ❤️❤️❤️🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈👊🏻👊👊🏿FRANCE
Croatia deserved a lot more out of the game. they were robbed of the first two decisions. they played by far the better football. pity they could other pull it off because they deserved it. rte analysis was bias towards France
The game was decided by two of the worst refereeing decisions I have seen at this level. A blatant dive from Gritzmann for the free kick and a penalty award that was ridiculous. Croatia by far the better team but you can't play France and a corrupt referee and expect to win. A disgraceful ref and he should never be allowed on a football pitch ever again.
I always enjoyed watching this TH-cam channel for these Irish experts' post-match commentary but this time I feel they were being pretty biased.. No mentioning about Griezman's simulated dive that earned France a free kick then wrong penalty given by the ref...what else could have gone wrong for the poor courageous Croats.. I'm not a Croatian but feel absolutely sorry for them because the better team was robbed of winning the world cup 2018. Croatian played like true champs. And what an unfair world cup winner 2018...would be long remembered.. I guess life is often unfair!
Ahmad Hosny it's not someone preferring the big team.. it's more like odds went against the better team.. it does occasionally happen in the game of footie
Maybe someday VAR will have quick decisions on wrong calls for corner kicks and fouls\dives like Greizeman. Croatia had 10% chance winning without the calls, own goal or handball
Croatia could have defended the free kick but instead gave away the goal, modric turned to show off his ass so pogba doesn't looked at it and scored. Bad defending from lovren, vida and subasic, and mpape scored,
First, corners Pogba pushes Mandzukic No penalty. Secondly, France uses tactical foul in midfield to stop Croatia breakaways. Thirdly, Griezmann dived and Pogba pushed Mandzukic in the back so when he went to head the ball he was falling backwards. Fourthly No penalty, This ref like many refs never played so do not understand. Fifthly, Croatia had to push forward leaving the defence open for counter-attack football making it easy for the French team to defend in numbers. Result: Conditioned by poor refereeing and the usual cheating we have come to except in the beautiful game.
Heartfelt props to the first African team to ever win a world cup. Nevermind it was the dirtiest win ever. Paying off the referee was a wise investment, after all.
you fucking idiot I watched Pogba especially ...he did nothing except two good balls down the line to m'bappe and scored his lucky giraffe goal the rest of the match he shyed away and lost possession ...lucky bastard that france won ..coz Pogba was shit through -out the tournament
Dunphy’s often ludicrous but he’s incredibly articulate at times and spoke very powerfully here about the possible political implications of the French victory.
Naw fella !! Sounds like 1 of the Apres match boys dressed up as her!! I wouldn't put it past them😈😈😈😈!!!!! The REAL Hope Solo never appeared! !!😈😈😈😈 !!!
France had 6 wins, 1 draw for 7 games, when Croatia had 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. Hence, France had the best results of the competition and is world champion. Croatie played their best match on the final and Modric deserved his MVP award. What else ?
Croatia had 50 odds minutes after the 2nd goal and didn't do shite, so get over it . makes me laugh when ppl are saying things like France were lucky, is Croatia beating Russia and Denmark by penalties not lucky??put your feeling aside and judge the game base on your understanding of the game.
Unlucky Croatia, decisions went against ye when the game was in the balance. We salute
Modric was superb in the middle of the pitch
Donald Russell he was good but Paul Pogba was better he was phenomenal
banares hussain in the Final possibly but Modric been superb all tournament
Donald Russell I was talking from the firsr game Pogba has been out of this world 4 goals as well unbelievable yes Modric has been good but not in the same level as Pogba mate
banares hussain Pogba is only as great as the midfielders supporting him
Modric was good, but he was stifled by the French midfield
France astonishingly, have been in three of the last six World Cup Final's, winning it twice, in that time period. That's a superior record to Brazil, Germany, Spain, in that time period.
john pacino win they get to three world cups in a row like Brazil and win two of them
Let me know
Subasic was not fit for the last 2 games. It was a mistake to put him in goal. He was carrying an injury. The last 2 goals were preventable.
i agree.... i said it myself the same thing... Kalinic should have been on goal!
Yeah pickford would have had those shots for dinner
Absolutely right. On Pogba's goal, you can see how he almost fell down after leaning on his right side on the Frenchman's 1st strike , then he couldn't jump on the 2nd strike. Croatia played long matches on the road to the final, they paid the price in the end.
Congratulations to France. We tried, our boys left their heart on the field, but in the end it just wasn't our day. Hopefully we meet in the final again one day.
Red Knight you are a man of honour! *bows*
hope not... they will still a win from us again... fuck football fuck this shit... it's all politics and football mafia!
Bizzo Brigante sore loser
That's a seriously classy comment. Your players may have left their hearts on the field, but they won a lot of admiration in the hearts of the world wide audience. Glad to see Croatia fulfill their usual label as tournament dark horses.
Sam Brown tell me I am not right? You weren't better today but you won because you were pushed by that scumbag referee Pitana 2 times in the lead! Btw.I knew as soon as I saw that we play against France and not Belgiium that we will be robbed... Now I am sorry that we beat Engled at least they would have fair refereeing but they would lose too because their team is not strrong enough!
The ref mess up the game 2 bad calls that resuted in gols
Mike Rivera
Always it's the ref fault when your team looses. If Croatia won nobody would be blaming the ref.
Mike Rivera remind me about any chances croatia created after their first goal.
Tom Odul there weren't my team I just wanted to see the best game and honest referring even Cante got a made up yellow and followed by the ref.
drubujay after your oponent has been awarded 2 gol the game changes
Mike Rivera: El arbitro Argentino hizo un buen trabajo. Los 2 primeros goles franceses, fueron validos y completamente legitimos. Asi que si vos no podes aceptar la logica de la situacion, entonces sos un verdadero boludo, que no entendes absolutamente nada de futbol.
France might be world champions, But Croatia are the people's Champions!!!
Justin Laughlin I am sure Croatia would rather be world champions
I died Laughlin.. 😆
Got any more nonsense?
When Croatia got back to 4-2, I really thought they were going to take it to extra time. Unlucky Croatia, you were fantastic.
CROATIA is a world cup winner!!! See Ball possession CRO 61-39, passes CRO 548 - 269, pass accuracy CRO 83% - 74%
shotes CRO 15 - 8 On tagret CRO 3 - 6, corners COR 6- 3
Not a free kick. pogba offside. Not a penalty. var is a joke! Best team in the tournament were aided by a hopeless ref today.
Y U MAD??
Is Pogba was offside? Can you please explain? Thanks
Thanks again for the uploads throughout this world cup! Great to here the lads on rte after the games as i live in nyc. Many many thanks. A great world cup.
Croatia were hijacked. Otherwise this would be 2 2.
Mohamed Ali you mean 3-2 without the penalty
Salty fanboys are pathetic
Don't forget France ain't like England and Russia that you drag till extra time. This guys ain't jokes on top of that france gave free goal to Croatia then demolish it
Most undeserved world cup winners in the most least inspiring world cup match that I've seen.
Muppets like you think Croatia is any where near France in terms of talent. Deschamps is just an idiot for playing this way.
No team will be able to match a French line up of Dembele,Griezzman,Mbappe...Pogba,Kante,Matuidi and their current back four.
Croatia dominated the entire game same as Belgium did....sad part is the ref conditioned the game against Croatia at their best moment. It flipped the game towards France ..and all the world agrees ..no ref would call that a penalty...unless you are bought and paid for...sad that we have to see this kind of ref in the finals of the world cup...congratulations to Croatia team...you guys have presented attacking football that we all love to watch...
Hand ball = penalty it's the rule
Everybody agrees that Modric and Perisic should have lifted the World Cup for Croatia.
The free kick for France 1st goal was disgracful and as for Perisic, is he meant to chop his arms off.... a disgusting decision to award a penalty.
Croatia players, you have made everyone proud of your country.
I only agree that they could have not should have. They "Croatia" lacked that now famous "over my dead body attitude" in the second half.
Prague Moon , Croatia dominated the first 15 minutes of the 2nd half.
In fact, I would say they were the better team in 80 of the 90 minutes. It was only a 10 minute span from France's 3rd goal to Mandzukic's goal.
Croatia tried to get that 2nd goal by putting there fullbacks up top. Because of bad refereeing, they were made to chase the game constantly. This made them open in the back and easy for France to exploit that space.
No one cares about ur opinion France won save some salt for dinner !!
Intelligent response. Anyways, a tainted win for france.
Roberto Salazar : Have you somehow forgotten as to why Croatia made it all the way to the World Cup Final ? Simple. Because they easily defeated 6 extremely weak defensive teams.
So then why did Croatia could not beat France in the Final ? Because
the french both have a well-balanced attack, and a solid, very strong defensive unit. Did you somehow forgotten that old proverb which

what happened at this World Cup Final.
Cheers for the uploads, Architect. I appreciate the work you put into this channel.
To be honest I'm just glad Croatia played a superb match. Its only a game and we should all respect and love one another no matter win or lose. 👍
Ivan Krunes : Try telling that to the mentally, insane racists who appear here on this channel.
Croatia, great team, great shirt.
it was a dive then Pogba was in offside position and he pushed mandzukic seconds later then that a joke of a penalty - not good enough for the final - referee changed the game completely. France should give him a medal too . Croatia was a much better team today
LOL it's a dive but i's also a foul, nothing to argue about that free kick. Why don't you bitch about Kante's foul that brings perisic's goal ? Big big dive from the croatian :) . And Pogba is 100% NOT OFFSIDE, Go watch the images again dude.... So many biased haters....
The ref was like "let me help u with your counter attacking tactics by letting u score"
It was rigged. But Croatia goalie made a mistake of letting two easy French goals. The ref when looking at the replay already decided it was not a penalty but hen went back to look at it again beacause of the pressure of those 3 Fifa guys who made him go back.

So to all the one who are pissed off because France won and because you don not like that team, live with it lol, and learn the rules of the game.
Congrats to Croatia they played well they deserved to be in final but a match has to be WIN and France knows hoe to win it.
So all the following champion are underserved winner : Spain won in 2010 they score 4 goals in knock out stage, Germany in 1990 and 2014 when they won the WC they scored 4 and 5 goals only, Brasil in 1994 scored only 6 goals.
Subasic was injured and should not have played! Period.
Exactly.. our goalie was terrible through many games we were frustrated.. he would never commit/extend.. too bad our last goalie retired. Yes we got some bad breaks but our goalie was the difference no matter what the ref did. Really sucks because the team other than the goalie outplayed France.

Congrats to Croatia they played well they deserved to be in final but a match has to be WIN and France knows hoe to win it.
So all the following champion are underserved winner : Spain won in 2010 they score 4 goals in knock out stage, Germany in 1990 and 2014 when they won the WC they scored 4 and 5 goals only, Brasil in 1994 scored only 6 goals.
great....at least one fun for this shit of a team
M White
They won me too. The best team is the one which puts 4 goals in the net. Otherwise the best teams went home long time ago.
great.... another one that knows shit about football...
Frances 3rd and 4th goals were off some tired, weak Croatian defence.But the biggest question now looking back is was Subasic even fit enough to start.
His feet seemed to be stuck to the ground, movement was horrible. And his body language was so different to any of his other games
.
french produced another team since 98... and so did little Croatia!!!
The pundits were excellent tonight. 10/10
If you listen to the conversations. Pogba changed because of the other players. Matidi told him he wasn't doing enough.
Du fond du cœur merci....
Pogba showed respect to Zlatko Dalic bowing at him! Respect for the great player and man!!!! France won the world cup but we win the fans around the world!!!! #VatreniponosHrvatske Greetings from Zagreb
Great producers of footballers, they forgot to mention Eden Hazard, was joined the youth academy of French club Lille LOSC at 14 yo before getting his first professional contract for that same club in Ligue 1. French football don't have riches bare PSG but PSG is not the type of club that traditionally create great players: Lille, Caen, Le Mans, Le Havre, Rennes, Lorient, etc. They are the ones who create the best of European football.
Lille did with Hazard what Chelsea was unable to do with Kakuta. Kauta moved to Chelski at 15 or 16 yo and was maybe even more talented than Zidane. Zidane himself only left Ligue 1 (Cannes then Bordeaux) for Juventus at 24 yo. That says everything young French players need to know, if you want to reach the Top, don't leave the French league in your teenage years because the Premier League and Spanish Liga are more than often meat grinders.
BonuxCouleur don't say bullshit. Griezmann, and Hernandez were trained in spain. Kakuta was trained in Lens before Chelsea. PSG has trained Kimpembe, Areola, Anelka, Rabiot, Sakho, etc.
A lot of defensive errors kind of ruined it for me. I knew Croatia's defense wouldn't be great but I expected better of France defensively. Well done to the French but the forwards and midfielders won this game.
4-2... Strong strikers, strong defense... Nothing to add, the best team, the best players, England has to learn from it and stop any stupid polemic, it's hard to be fair and honest, for sure...
These guys are fixated on Pogba so much.
in SA we had a rubish manager nobody wanted to play for................... R Domenech and still no one want to play for him these days
Perisic is gonna go for big money tho ....
That aged well
As a small country, we are used to these kinds of things... no surprise
Why are they attributing his haircut to his play? A bunch of old sour grumps
Bad refereeing, Both 1st and 2nd France goals were absolutely Bogus. That wasn't even a foul to have a Free kick on the first goal and that was no penalty that ended up for France's second goal. Croatia should have won as they played Beautiful Football. France sat back hoping for counter attacks. I don't like the way France plays football, they played the same way against a better team Belgium.The Final should have been Croatia vs Belgium as they both played the Beautiful game.
music fan : Soccer is not your sport. GOLF and TENNIS are sports perfectly suitable for parasites like YOU.
best pundits ever
a wonderful day for soccer? blasphemy should not be tolerated on youtube
Creees : Looks like there are at least a hundred of them, here.
Creees salty comment. In French we say : on boit vos larmes 🤣
Mbappe is better than Messi and ronaldo I don’t give a damn what anyone says. When you show up like that in a World Cup final as a kid, then you’re doing Pele type shit. MBAPPE IS THE NEW KING
Ez robbery, classic against Croatia.
Croatia weren't robbed.if u don't take u chances.u don't win.both teams deserved to be in final
Gutted for Croatia, but we'll done France.
What music is used at the start of the clips on this channel?
CATENACCIO IS THE TRUE WINNER ! Thanks god, football is back. Barcelona's tiki-taka philosophy is dead. Deschamps I love u
Why You Mad? Pogba Scored?? WHY U MAD?
04: 59 when he said Grizman getting in defence and getting free kick`s - C`mon man don`t say shit like that
Congratulations to the best multicultural & diverse France team👏🏼 🇫🇷🥇🇫🇷🎖🇫🇷🏆
I don’t think it was an accident that globalist France played and beat ethnically Slavic Croatia for the final. The symbolism FIFA wanted to push across was clear. Countries that had majority populations or governments against immigration did poorly.
Germany - out of group stage
America - did not qualify
Italy - did not qualify
Netherlands - did not qualify
Austria - did not qualify
Not to disparage multiculturalism but FIFA had a clear agenda
keep your political virtue signaling out of sport you bell end
Nicely said
Conspiracy. I like it!
distantvoices I bet you ain't even og taxes to you filthy country. Keyboard talent.
In modern football it’s extremely difficult to score against a set defence, goals are scored in transition, on counters, and had the ref not gifted France two goals and Croatia would have been one nil up after the 1st half and France would have to chase the equalizer, it would have been a different game.
What happened to "Poba will never win a World Cup winners medal" ?? OLD FART
Prague Moon : Pogba has a GOLD MEDAL around his neck, NOW. Pathetic psycho.
France always plays defensively and attacks through counters. So they let Croatia come forward and play. That's called STRATEGY!. . So don't say croatia played well and were unlucky!
Anoop B In the actual match, not in your fantasy, France tried to have the ball but Croatia was superior in skills. They dominated the game. Don't come up with a silly excuse why they didn't have the ball that much. France did absolutely nothing in this match.
Anoop B Very well said.
WTF, are you gonna repeat the same thing a thousand times, fuckin' idiot...
The way they defended was not strategy or control ... they did not give us the ball they lost it
Spot on
Wow, so much saltiness and just utter racist nonsense from many folks in this chanel. The referee made a judgemental call on the hand ball after reviewing it. Moreover, even if Croatia had most of the possesion, they lacked any sort of threat in the French box, period. Sounds the French and Deschamps strategy was to soak up the pressure abd counter attack at will which worked to perfection. The French defence was impregbable while individual players like Griezmann , Mbappe and Pogba were phenomenal. So folks, stop whining and pay tribute to a wonderful final game.
france first two goals came from soft referee, the second two came as a consequence of the first 2. if france is forced to chase the game it's a different game. croatia can feel hard done by. but at the end of the day when france's demographics are the same of their soccer team they will be the real losers. croatia team was actually croatian and they played with art & style.
racist nonsense.
France scored 11 goals in knock out stage whereas Croatia just scored 7 goals.France won all its game in knock out whereas Croatia qualified twice on penalty. In the final, it was a penalty at 100% for the following reasons : When a player touch the ball with his arm or hand and that touch changes the direction of the ball it is a penalty. It was penalty at 100%. We have seen many penalties given for far less.
True that Croatia had 60% of the possession against France but what is the point if you can not score. France has won 3 major tournament in 20 years and played 5 major tournament so live with that. There was no robbery at all in that final, you are just disappointed because your team lost.
So to all the one who are pissed off because France won and because you don not like that team, live with it lol, and learn the rules of the game.

Liberté Egalité, Arbitre and of course Griezmann, sad very sad
Paul Pogba existed before Manchester United.
Maybe everyone who only knows the EPL just discovered Paul Pogba
but he had a life at Juventus before hand.
If he wants to be the best he can be and enjoy his football he needs to put as much water between himself and the Special Moan as possible.
Pogba is only any good when surrounded by talented players playing against weaker teams , he was lucky he scored coz he did nothing else
Hes not worth 90 million ( not even worth half ) ..he had 2 bad tournaments in row ( euros and wc ) and hes been a MEGA flop at utd ..the worst flop of all time
Right about that, Keva;
Pogba must be depressed by the quality he has to deal with at United.
He should leave for a team with worthy talent and it would be great if United cut their losses and sold him for what they valued him at (40 million or so) to Barca, PSG, Atletico Madrid or back to Juve.
Think of it! United would have the cash for a mega deal to pry Jordan Henderson from 'pool!!
i dont care ..i want him to be shit ...dont want him hiding behind great teams all his career
Remind me again, Keva...
Who the fcuk are you?
And why do we all give a sh!t what you want?
...keep it short if you can.
who are you to talk for many ?? the deluded pogba fan club ...get the fuck outta here with your worship of shitty players
Many haters and jealous post here against us french team , we robbed croatia blabla , what did croatia ? Many dangerous ocasions ? No . One great goal yea ? Thats fukin all !!! U can play a nice football , got possession yea , but if u r not able to score us thats for some reason , our defense and middlfield . And our attack can make the difference at any moments , look mbappe , we never robbed u , u talk about the penalty , for me there is a hand , far of the body so , and if you want we give you that , still 3 2 , u talk about the own goal ? This is football , like lloris quasi own goal!! We were the best for all this reason , keep the ball we take the win and scored 14 goal , not that bad for a " park the bus team " as you think( who s wrong )This team is smart strong with many talents , perfect chemistry and a rising star mbappe , and we deserved this cup , haters gonna hate i will dream tonight
Well, they did much more than France did. Two game changing bad referee decisions that let France score two goals. In this stage, it is impossible to recover from that. I'm disappointed in France team performance. Maybe France would win anyway, but we will never know that now. Too bad for football.
Why u think there s no penalty ? What croatia did more than france ? possession ? we let them that was the deschamps strategy . sacrify the talent for the chemistry . we are a wall . yea croatia made some good passes and sometimes a cross , no real danger for lloris. 1 nice goal ( after a free kick ) thats all . All our opponents think we do not deserve but they just dont see how strong we are since argentina to the cup, b4 we had a good defense but thats all
If the rules were that every hand contact with ball is penalty, than this would be penalty. But the rules are not like that (and with good reason). As for the answer to rest, give a Croatia 2 goal for free, and we would see if France would recover from that. I don't think they would and I think that Croatia would slam them even harder.
Got u man. But the Hate Goes towards the Ref and FiFa. They destroyed a final. And France was the worse team that day, especially 1st Half. I wanted to see the France like with Belgium, but didnt show up. For me a disappointing final.
golum skill : They are demented, retarded psychopaths, racist bastards and sickly, deranged sore losers.
Robbery
France win is a victory for PASSPORT DOPING!!!
But they are not the only country in the world doing it many others INCLUDING IRELAND Indulge in this practice!!
Every player should represent the country they were born In otherwise it is stealing from another country a big example is Ireland stealing Northern Irish players!
Dennis Lexgar : You are the dope attic, stupid meathead.
They were all born in France moron,
Funny to see all those French hater, The best team is the one who win, period
eric bartely : Sick, bigoted bastards. They outta be exterminated. Every single one of them.
I swear, the Irish and Scottish, countries with NO business talking about football, criticizing players and managers is a joke!
and who would you be by any chance?
also wtf are you doing on our channel?
We played with the right tactic with the right tactic!!! Whatever haters say we were more disciplined, more conscientious, more responsible of this match!!! Congrats!!!! Love France, its real diversity, its real values, its real French emotions!!! ❤️❤️❤️🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 only foreigners care about origin! In France everybody knows that the only things that make you a French is your Values!!!!!! All equal!!!! ❤️❤️❤️🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈👊🏻👊👊🏿FRANCE
This was a stitch-up..... With all that technology, how can those decisions against Croatia be made?????
Handball = penalty
HA HA HA Cry, bitches, cry!!
*CHAMPIONS DU MOOOOOOOOOOONDE !!*
Croatia needs more African Immigrants. The EU is already remedying this fault.
immediamal coccinello You would cry an ocean easily if Croatia got 2 goals because of terrible referee decisions
immedial coccinelo...learn the rules first ; INTENTIONAL handball = penalty
Ivan Jankovic
No. When a player move his arm/hand and touch the ball there is penalty. Learn football.
Croatia deserved a lot more out of the game. they were robbed of the first two decisions. they played by far the better football. pity they could other pull it off because they deserved it. rte analysis was bias towards France
it was a penalty
colin o sullivan but they couldn’t score LOL they deserved nothing except the silver medal
france most underserved winner in history
The game was decided by two of the worst refereeing decisions I have seen at this level. A blatant dive from Gritzmann for the free kick and a penalty award that was ridiculous. Croatia by far the better team but you can't play France and a corrupt referee and expect to win. A disgraceful ref and he should never be allowed on a football pitch ever again.
1st half, 1 chance 2 gols WTF, Belgium was right most underserving team in history
Agreed!!
Muppets think, scrapping past Denmark,Russia and a pathetic England team warrants a world trophy.
France has the worst anti-football tactics ever. Just deffend,deffend,deffend and shoot the ball to mbappe and hope he runs fast enough. Disgusting.
Croatia got robbed
Apple Gilead : Correction. Your head got robbed.
no way
England and france antifootball kings!!!!
loser haha
I always enjoyed watching this TH-cam channel for these Irish experts' post-match commentary but this time I feel they were being pretty biased..
No mentioning about Griezman's simulated dive that earned France a free kick then wrong penalty given by the ref...what else could have gone wrong for the poor courageous Croats..
I'm not a Croatian but feel absolutely sorry for them because the better team was robbed of winning the world cup 2018.
Croatian played like true champs. And what an unfair world cup winner 2018...would be long remembered..
I guess life is often unfair!
Ahmad Hosny it's not someone preferring the big team.. it's more like odds went against the better team.. it does occasionally happen in the game of footie
Heis aPilot : You are so fucken disgusting, you make me sick.
Maybe someday VAR will have quick decisions on wrong calls for corner kicks and fouls\dives like Greizeman. Croatia had 10% chance winning without the calls, own goal or handball
Captain Crunch No they won't
Don't worry about the lousy jealous fools, we will keep on win and they will be the laughing stocks.
Croatia could have defended the free kick but instead gave away the goal, modric turned to show off his ass so pogba doesn't looked at it and scored. Bad defending from lovren, vida and subasic, and mpape scored,
First, corners Pogba pushes Mandzukic No penalty. Secondly, France uses tactical foul in midfield to stop Croatia breakaways. Thirdly, Griezmann dived and Pogba pushed Mandzukic in the back so when he went to head the ball he was falling backwards.
Fourthly No penalty, This ref like many refs never played so do not understand. Fifthly, Croatia had to push forward leaving the defence open for counter-attack football making it easy for the French team to defend in numbers.
Result: Conditioned by poor refereeing and the usual cheating we have come to except in the beautiful game.
Modric could hve stop pogba's goal but instead showed pogba his ass, lol
Pure robbery !
shredder : Pure disrespect for a classy champion like FRANCE, stupid
sore loser.
the game could have been totally diffrent were it not for blunders ref made
Catherine : You know plain shit about soccer.
Cathrine Wambui lol voluntary handball = penalty
Heartfelt props to the first African team to ever win a world cup.
Nevermind it was the dirtiest win ever.
Paying off the referee was a wise investment, after all.
Pogba was magnificent.
I don't know witch match you were watching today :-)
Why so sour.. Y U MAD??
First Man United player to score in a WC Final. BRAVO!
you fucking idiot
I watched Pogba especially ...he did nothing except two good balls down the line to m'bappe and scored his lucky giraffe goal
the rest of the match he shyed away and lost possession ...lucky bastard that france won ..coz Pogba was shit through -out the tournament
Yup he had a great tournament
Dunphy’s often ludicrous but he’s incredibly articulate at times and spoke very powerfully here about the possible political implications of the French victory.
Yes, hopefully a few more sporting wins will help offset the increasing stabbings and violent crime of everyday life.
He said it would be a blow to those seeking to divide the people of France, which it will be.
Where was Hope Solo ?
I thought she was earmarked for punditry ??
She never appeared!!
Under the desk wanking Eamon off
Naw fella !! Sounds like 1 of the Apres match boys dressed up as her!! I wouldn't put it past them😈😈😈😈!!!!!
The REAL Hope Solo never appeared! !!😈😈😈😈 !!!
France had 6 wins, 1 draw for 7 games, when Croatia had 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. Hence, France had the best results of the competition and is world champion. Croatie played their best match on the final and Modric deserved his MVP award. What else ?
Croatia had 50 odds minutes after the 2nd goal and didn't do shite, so get over it . makes me laugh when ppl are saying things like France were lucky, is Croatia beating Russia and Denmark by penalties not lucky??put your feeling aside and judge the game base on your understanding of the game.
OMG,if I were French I would be ecstatic... oh wait I’m french !
Can we execlude Croatians and French from commenting here!!
Bravo Bravo : No, we should exclude you instead.
