The 2018 World Cup Final :: Modrić is 15% bird

[Fudge Nuggets 19224]

Great goal by France. Nobody was going to stop that. Until then Croatia had been owning the match. 

One thing for sure, Croatia will not panic. 

[Vic Mackey 47151]

Fuck there's the dreaded early goal. France will now sit back the rest of the game

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19142]

Lol such bullshit. Clearly a dive on the replay and what do you know.

Griezmann deserves an Oscar for selling that.

[Message Board User 12396]

typical that the first goal of the WC final comes as a result of a dive

[hayden_horn 11365]

hate to see a dive rewarded like that. 

[Woodrow Call 494]

Vida looks like Tonya Harding.

Maybe. Croatia hasn't played a defense the quality of France.  Nor a team that is as dangerous offensively.

France has some serious speed.

I’m not so sure that it was as much a “dive” as it was a bad call by the red.  Seemed like griezmann just slipped and the red called it. He didn’t go down hard gesticulating or any of that...just fell to the ground. 

[Hagbard Celine 10923]

giroux.... SNIPER!!!

ref hs his work cut out for him.

So much for the efforts earlier in the cup to clean up grabbing in the box.  I guess there's not enough courage to give a penalty in the final.

[immortal13 4059]

This diving shit is ridiculous. Manu Ginobili would be embarassed

So far being too tentative

He clearly hesitated and anticipated getting fouled to set up the free kick IMO.

Wasn't a dive. He tripped on his own feet. But Griezmann sat on the ground after and sold it.

[sidis 9832]

I do not think France will go conservative. They know what Croatia has done to everyone else and they know they need three goals to put this away. 

[Surly Bevo 25152]

And then that was a weak weak yellow card.

[Hagbard Celine 10923]

GOOD - start the cards

[sidis 9832]

That was a ridiculous yellow. 

[Goo Punch 4275]

that was foolish from kante.

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Jesus that was a weak ass yellow card 

[Knoxtnhorn 6066]

Cool France.  Way to dive and bitch into a goal.

Nor do I. France has only scored 1 other goal in the first 30 minutes. And that was in the Argentina game, it ended 4-3.

[mdmost 43050]

Wow. There it is!

[MNLonghornFUKM 8821]

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

[Surly Bevo 25152]

Impressive

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19142]

That was an idiotic yellow card.

[elfenix 34332]

equalized!

[Spartan52 151]

What a goal!
1-1

Agree. They'll keep the foot on the gas. This is a final. 

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Let’s fucking go!

[Goo Punch 4275]

wow! helluva goal from Perisic.

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Beautiful 

[LonghornJudas 1102]

Good shit. What a strike.

[WBT 20669]

What a goal!

Great for the game too as now France won't be able to just sit on the lead like against Belgium.

[sidis 9832]

That was very pretty from Croatia. 

[The Maestro 758]

Cracking shot

that's a standard yellow. you break up the break from behind, you get booked.

[Jive Turkey 12644]

We have a game. Bam. 

[Captain Ron 12921]

The deflection made that unstoppable.

[achooloco 1086]

Go Croatia!!

[SpiralOut 1818]

What a fucking touch in the box. 

[Fudge Nuggets 19224]

This is going to be awesome

Fair enough. I’m an extremely casual soccer fan who buys the newest version of FIFA every year, I’ll admit that. Just seemed very incidental, but I guess that doesn’t matter. I thought it was more of a judgement call.

Was a brief touch, issue was it was a breakaway. More fans the the better!

[Surly Bevo 25152]

Eh I thought it was weak, Kante is separating away from the player and the Croat player's heal kicks up so high and back he hits a retreating Kante and falls....to me it's an unfortunate part of the game, a foul, ok...a card nah.
