World Cup Final - Spoiler

[malaise]

Wow Croatian own goal - France 1

First ever own goal in a World Cup final.

[mcar]

1. Boy, I hope that's not the only goal

Just skimmed off the guy's head.

[malaise]

4. Spoiler

Perisic
1-1

[mcar]

6. Great strike!

[malaise]

7. Indeed

:d

[mcar]

2. 1 all!

I spoke too soon!

[Codeine]

3. Croatia comes back

and they didn’t even need to be filthy diving scum to do it.

[malaise]

5. Ha

Lovely goal

[Codeine]

8. Handball in the box. nt

[mcar]

9. That was a handball

VAR should call it as such.

[malaise]

11. And

Griezmann does not fail

France has never lost a match when he scored.

[malaise]

10. Penalty

vAR

[nocoincidences]

12. This is a great game!

Very exciting to watch!

[malaise]

14. Croatia's main weakness has been

fouls close to or in the box. These are two very good teams.
That said both French goals were from set pieces.
I want France win and this should be one hell of a second half.
Give thanks for VAR.

[Codeine]

16. I'm pulling for Croatia all the way

and that shitty little dive did nothing but reinforce that feeling. I can’t argue with the handball penalty, however. Dumbass move.

[malaise]

19. Watch Mbappe

He almost got away from them.

[Codeine]

21. Sheer luck he didn't make it 3-1 nt

[malaise]

22. Wish I had the money for this one

https://mbappe.com/

[Codeine]

17. One of the best final matches I've seen. nt

[Submariner]

13. I'm one of those first time soccer watchers

Where are all the cool upside down bicycle back kicks I saw on film clips of Pelé many years ago?

Was Pelé one of a kind? From the clips I remember, Pelé seemed to do those back kicks regularly.

[Codeine]

15. Pele played about a billion games

so he had lots of opportunities to pull those off. In reality they’re quite rare.

Pele was also kind of amazing, so.

[malaise]

20. I haven't watched every minute but I only saw one

In the early rounds

[mcar]

30. Just got one from Giroud

He must have heard you.

[sarisataka]

31. There

France did one just for you

[Codeine]

18. Dumbass pitch invasion.

Morons.

[malaise]

24. Did you see that goal?

Go France

[Codeine]

26. He finally shows up

and buried it. Well taken goal.

[malaise]

29. He set it up

But it's Pogpa's goal.

Lovely final this. could be a French whipping

[Codeine]

32. They've certainly taken the reins.

I love a Cinderella story but this game has definitely shifted toward France.

[Codeine]

34. As I was saying. . .

[Codeine]

23. Fuck

[malaise]

25. Should have bought the website

:

[Codeine]

27. . . .

[Codeine]

33. Even more so now!!!

[malaise]

37. Bwaaaaaaaaah

This is great

[mcar]

28. What a goal!

Pogba!

[malaise]

35. Talk about storming the Bastille

Kylian Mbappe
The first teenage final goal since Pele.

[Codeine]

38. Jesus. Kid wasn't alive in 98,

a tournament which I remember in detail.

[malaise]

42. LOL

Croatia strike back

What a fabulous final.

[Codeine]

44. Six goals and counting.

What a show!

[mcar]

39. I like that kid

Glad for him.

Croatia is unraveling. Sad to see. I thought they had good control over the match till the last few minutes.

[sarisataka]

36. That's a stake in the heart

And that is a kid to watch in coming years

[MyNameIsKhan]

40. what a match!

[Codeine]

41. Ouch.

Croatia buys back a little dignity there.

[mcar]

43. Holy shite!

I've never seen anything like that before. 4-2

[MyNameIsKhan]

45. Just fascinating !

[malaise]

48. Fabulous final

Oh yes

[MyNameIsKhan]

51. Absolutely!

[jpak]

46. Who's ahead?

No cable

[Codeine]

47. 4-2 France

[jpak]

52. Thanks!

[HipChick]

49. Immigration rules!..France is 4-2, and most of the players are black..

Diversity RULES...

[mcar]

50. Love the diversity on the French squad

[malaise]

53. I love that Pele is still alive to see Kylian Mbappe do what he did

60 years later

[mcar]

54. That is special

[malaise]

63. France has reached three finals and won two in 20 years

with multi-racial teams.
I celebrate with them. This was a fabulous World Cup.

[HipChick]

65. Must chap Putin to have to congratulate so many diverse players..

[Codeine]

55. Croatia is completely out of gas. nt

[mcar]

56. All those overtime matches had to take their toll

[malaise]

59. Yes but when you think that Croatia is a country of 4m people

They played out of their skins.

[mcar]

60. They sure did

[Codeine]

57. And France takes it home.

What a fabulous game.

[malaise]

58. One of the best of my lifetime

Magnificent.
Look out for the name Kylian MBappe. Many will name their sons after him.

[mcar]

61. Terrific tournament!

I'm sorry to see it end.

[malaise]

62. One of the best in my lifetime

from start to finish.

[HipChick]

64. God willing...see it in another 4 years..

[malaise]

66. Rain is pelting at the award ceremony

Too lovely.
If this is my last World Cup, they may have just given me my best ever.

[HipChick]

67. If Russia would only stick to hosting World Cups..

instead of meddling in elections..

[malaise]

68. LOL

Notice that only Putin had an umbrella. . Macron and Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović ignored the rain and celebrated with the players.

[HipChick]

69. I saw that...I never saw Putin shake Macron's hand either...

[mcar]

72. Women's next year, I believe

[demmiblue]

70. Lol... Macron:
