This final has summed up this world cup very well.

Drama, goals, unpredictable excitement, luck, VAR changing the game, rubbish defending, sunday league mistakes and the team which parks the bus and counters winning.

Like i said the declining quality of football has made this one of the best most open tournaments ever.

France as winners? Nahhh. Again. The 'least' incompetent team has won an international tournament.

At least there was a deserving winner of the golden ball this time, was worried it'd be sleazy.

cos even teh casual fan can tell that nestor tilted the table so drastically to the bleus... :BangHead:
Yup and Frances horrible celebrations along with copying the Iceland Viking clap leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

My fear is with this France team they have now peaked early. They will become arrogant now and i dont expect them to kick on from this. Its a young team with many emerging talents but they havent been amazing this tournament. Just less uncompetent than everyone else.

Spain deserved that World Cup.

France have very much been the last man standing this world cup. Only played well In one game for me and that was the Argentina game in which they where given so much space. Every game since the Peru match they just parked the bus and hit balls towards Mbappe.

Didn't want them to win but they do deserve it

I think they would have beaten anyone today

Should have got the Dutchman we had for our match against Sweden. He was a good referee.

disagree, France where absolute shit in the first half, had 1 shot on goal FFS! Croatia gave them a goal, then also were unlucky with the penalty.

Pogba and Mbappe took their chances very well, real shame everything just went wrong for Croatia, couldn't get a break.

They scored four goals.

There's no ifs or caveats about it. They walked it in the end

If it hadn't been for King Spud and his horror show clanger the margin would have been three goals

1-1 at half time without the harsh penalty its a different game, Croatia could have sat back more and patiently controlled the game while France might of had to change their system.

Anyway, its over now, France won but they where far from spectacular.

come on UFGN where is your memory? Argentina got to the final in 2014! You mean fourth European winner in a row :naughty:

But still here is a good topic for debate. South American football your right is falling behind Europe and it's defensively for me which is the main issue bar Uruguay but the other issue is depth of talent.

Brazil have a wealth of attacking players but aren't producing Modric/De Bruyne like playmakers anymore, instead every player is an explosive attacker which was their issue vs Belgium, they had nobody to really dictate the game. Defending in general there is still quite dirty but very poor quality. Most good South American defenders usually leave their native countries early to develop discipline which they aren't getting in South America.

I look at Argentina who have no good defenders, including Otamendi who isn't a good defender and who are they developing? Wheres another defensive mid emerging from? Everything is attack!! Also Colombia and Uruguay as you saw, take out one or their only star man and their level drops like a stone!

Since 1958 no South American team has ever won the World Cup in Europe!!! Infact only Brazil in 1998 and Argentina in 1990 have even got to the final since then in Europe so this has been a trend for a European team to usually win in Europe.
