[PenelopeWitherspoon 19101]

Yeah, that looks like that hurt.

[Captain Ron 12877]

That was a lineman type injury.  Hope he's ok.

God willing it won’t. Croatia a better team SO FAR. Score doesn’t show it and thems the breaks but I still hope they win

Completely different compared to how they looked v RUS for what ever reason

Hand ball on Croatia. Don’t know if they’ll get it though. 

[achooloco 1072]

All I’ve seen of France today is long ball to mbabbe. That their whole style? Kinda weak and haven’t focused on their games

Croatians are on something. No one can have this type of energy after their KO run. 

[Captain Ron 12877]

What would it take to stop the World Cup Final? 

 

Seriously Fox? They have rules for weather - you should try reading them.

That could have been a card for the Croat there for grabbing Mbappe, he is so quick that could have led to a shot on goal

Hasn’t been their style for the tourney.  But they have had a lot of success with it and I’m sure they think there is a huge advantage there. 

[Bevojoe 44]

Penalty kick for France. 

[Homercles 10205]

Penalty kick for France. 

I bet he makes it

[Bevojoe 44]

France got it. 2-1 France. 

[JNip 132]

Incredible that France is winning. Zero chances off regular play, everything from set pieces. 

[hayden_horn 11362]

vw is really really marketing the fucking ambient lighting

[Trey3216 15346]

Penalty kick.  France.   And he makes it.  

 

 

 

Just doing this for the lulz

France sucks, if you can't score off open play, you ain't shit. 

[Bullneck 19100]

Croatia looks the better team but has gotten two rough breaks.  Not as physical as Spain-Holland but seems like there's an unusual amount of grabbing and tripping going on.

[Homercles 10205]

You're kidding right?

Bot with a big lag?

Nope!

[Knoxtnhorn 5976]

Too bad we didn't have VAR when the US played Germany a couple of WC's ago, OR for the bs Panama goal on the last day of qualification.  /still bitter

[hayden_horn 11362]

i'll bet you there isn't another goal until the halftime whistle!

[Woodrow Call 494]

It would suck for France to win because of an own goal and a somewhat questionable penalty.

[maninblack 7974]

Scrolled through the comments. Pleasantly surprised nobody tried to argue that handball wasn't a pen

[Spartan52 151]

You're at least 15 mins behind the rest of the world Bevojoe, catch up or don't read this thread cos....Spoilers

The own goal was the result of the questionable penalty. The handball was legit.

Which penalty are you talking about? Because the handball was a clear penalty.

There wasn't anything questionable about it

[Bevojoe 44]

Croatia usually has a lot more energy than their opponents in 2nd half. Something like 3 of their games went to penalty kicks to be decided. 

[Fudge Nuggets 19190]

The Itv dudes in the studio are still whining about the VAR ruling. One said in a hundred million years that’s not a penalty.  Another says he guarantees the ref never played football. I should tweet them a link to this thread so they can get their learn on. 

[cmontexas 3271]

Usually when people running full speed get kicked in the shin they fall down

Even so, it didn't alter the outcome of the play. I've always thought it was a shit way to award a pen.

What are you talking about? It halted a cross into the box, that alters play about as much as you can.

And a handball is a shit way to award a penalty?

[Captain Ron 12877]

Fast Lloris there!

[sidis 9828]

Les Bleus better wake the fuck up.

[Spartan52 151]

Croatia look dangerous every time they get into the Fra box

[HenryJames 66069]

French defenders are some athletic mofos.

[hayden_horn 11362]

i still think the actual world cup trophy is trash. hate everything about the way it looks. it has no majesty. like the stanley cup or the lombardi. 

[sidis 9828]

This is the sloppiest I have seen them since Portugal in 2016. They are a fucking mess. 

[Captain Ron 12877]

No shit. I didn't realize that the Griezmann shot was their first shot of the game.

 

 

[DanTheHorn 4925]

VAR should be here to stay. Less bad offside calls. Players are being kept honest on set pieces. From the reverse angle you can see how the Croatian player moves his hand from being at neck level down to block the ball.

Yeah, it does kinda looks like some kid’s shitty paper mache art project.
