[@thomashooper9148]

Handballs aren’t fools in some people’s world?! Absurd...

[@mistercrimesb]

Then he didnt give 25 pens for Croatia on the other hand. They touched Croatian players atleast that many times in the box.

[@thomashooper9148]

mistercrimesb , no handballs though.... are we still pretending the handball wasn’t a penalty?

[@mistercrimesb]

Seb spoke about free kick for first goal. That's what I replied to. But in my footballing experience(played for years) penalty was also bad decision. Players should just shoot the arms in the box, not try to score goals. That would be up to your interpretation of the situation. Handball=penalty

[@robertfiser99]

Thank you Michael!

[@youngmyth]

this guy says "Pogba got an easy goal." What?? That's effin ridiculous. Pogba set up that entire sequence (with a great flick back from Mbappe) with, IMO, the most audacious 30 meter pass I can remember in recent world cups and then went end to end, then had to reflex react to a rebound off his first shot, then judge in a split second where the goalkeeper was leaning towards, and guide it in the other way with his weaker foot. This guy on the left is a quack. It's ridiculous how people go from suggesting the penalty award was unfair to France got two easy subsequent goals. France dominated this entire world cup with defensive and counter-attacking discipline. Loved their play.

[@dariopetrovic2564]

France + referee won this match :P Croatia was better! Thank you Croatia for being more entertaining and presenting a more beautiful fotball this final! Fact: The first free kick leading to 1-0 was incorrect The penalty was VERY unclear, 9/10 of referees would NOT give them a penalty in a final. Possession Cro 66% Fra 34% Passes Cro 529 Fra 285 Pass precision Cro 83% Fra 68% Sad that WC is over now, Russia was a great host!!

[@MrKylljoy]

LOL the penalty was given BECAUSE all others similars hands were given a penalty, did you follow the game or what ? And yes, France played defensively in the end and what ? Croatia were forced to play because France were leading, so what's why it was " beautiful 'football ". Those guys try to win the WC, not amuse a random internet user on twitter

[@ComputingGizmo]

Stupid analysis. If you’re going by possession and stats, you should send the cup to Spain. Croatia did not create clear cut chances. France was clinical in the second half. You take your chances in life, or get comfortable with the sound of your excuses.

Especially with the whole world watching. Disgraceful, Shameful. Still respect for the beatiful game. Not for cheats that ruin it. Croatia is the real winner here regardless of result. Thank you Croatia and all the other Countries that participated in the world cup 2018 . Worst winner to ever be rewarded that i have ever witnessed. Boze sacuvaj. Bog je plako kad vidi da nepravda se desava. Vidjeli ste to ljudi. Samo ova nepravda mora prestat.

That level of play and you have to be a bitch.

[@eldincitak3340]

The momentum was in Croatia's favor after the tieing goal. You know it and the only unaducated don't know it. Referee saved France twice . First rewarding a dive and second rewarding a accidental hand ball. Please don't argue with facts. France won because of a fix that you young minds don't understand yet. It's extremely hard to notice this. I spend watching soccer and playing sence i was 5 glued to the tv. I could do things nobody even today can do and know all because of countless hours watching and studying movements, reactions, abilities, sight , ability to predict moves in advance and so on. I work as a timekeeper for a Sport complex in Canada, Winnipeg. France won at the end but i wish they weren't helped. This is why i said let them play cause Croatia would have won 100% if the refs did. Stop arguing with facts. Anyways France won and congrats to them.

[@dissinfo6358]

Seems pretty obvious the VAR was used to rig the win for France. Croatia's momentum was clearly destroyed by botched handball call by the biased/incompetent Argentinian referee. The ref was acting very dodgy and nervous during video review, which may indicate he was coerced by the boys upstairs into bagging the call. Which he promptly went on to do. Basically, we ended up seeing more FIFA shenanigans, which we have come to expect when political issues such as multiculturalism are at play. Slap an asterisk on this World Cup, since it was more gifted than earned. Not exactly the first time this has happened. And knowing our old good friend FIFA, it will not be the last.

[@gordonstewart6757]

Schmeichel is 100% correct. Without the first 2 undeserving France goals ,we would have had a different game 1-0 Croatia going into the second half. Huge difference ! Croatia has won the respect of the football world ,while France will be the legitimate champions and a known to of had a good tournament ,with some real breaks.

[@lahire4943]

We can also say that if the shot of Perisic hadn't been deflected, it wouldn't have been a goal, and second goal of Croatia was a huge mistake of Lloris...

[@gordonstewart6757]

The first two French goals have been proven to be based on bad decisions by the Referee's ,... by a great majority. VAR has made this possible . What you suggesting is completely unrelated and quite frankly stupid.

[@AnoNymous-fl1sk]

It's a pen the ball's trajectory is hindered by Perisic's hand I don't even see how it's a controversy. Meanwhile the free kick was a dreadful display of marking and defending on Croatia's part, and they can only blame themselves for scoring an own goal. Regardless, 95% of Croatia's attacks were utterly sterile, the exception being of course a stunning goal from Perisic, and Lloris gifted them a second to cling on. Please stop crying France dissected Croatia you just refuse to see it.

[@gordonstewart6757]

The vast majority of fans on all sides would agree that the first two French goals were at very least questionable. So what . I only say it because I want to see the WC better and better and if you don't look at what was wrong that gave them those goals ,you can't correct it. You say 95% of Croatia's attacks were sterile . Did you watch the game ? don't answer.

[@chakir348]

The Croatian team played better football. But France were more realistic, more efficient, perhaps even more intelligent. Les Bleus' strength is exactly this: no matter who they faced, they found the solution to win. Without being brilliant here, they scored four goals, which tells you everything about their level, and their coach's. With his smart moves, Didier Deschamps won the tactical fight. So, whiners & losers get over it!

Some people in the closed room decide when they use VAR and when they don't and nobody takes responsibility for they decissions anymore . If they really want to use VAR lets give the dessisions to the coaches and limit them , for example , to three and that's it.

Croatia was better game, the fact is that now football is more tactic than before france played as italian efficient defensively strong using few opportunities

[@IRACEMABABU]

France let purposely Croatia have possession of the ball, but Coatia wasn't able to do something with it, loosing energy in useless playing. Gave place for brilliant counter-attacks by the french team. Beautiful an clever playing by France. I prefer to see a well organized and efficient defence with beautiful counter-attacks than a messy attack with weak defence. Tactic is full part of the game, and in WC final the winner must master this part of the game. That separate men from boys...

[@ComputingGizmo]

If you think one goal by a penalty was all that deflated Croatia as a team, then they do not deserve to be world champions. Biased commentary. You sounded like a Whiner all analysis-long. You take your chances in life, or get comfortable with the sound of your excuses.

[@ComputingGizmo]

Ruyai Croatia wasn’t fucked up in the last minute. They did not create clear cut chances, or even get into the France penalty area. If you gave them 90 more minutes, they weren’t going to score. Lloris even did for them more than they did for themselves since their first goal. France scored clean goals since the start of the second half. France was always going to win.

[@mayzilla1174]

I don't want to start a fight here.....but.....when a team gets a free penalty kick and an autogoal as a bonus gift.....bro.....to be so lucky is 4 sure an amazing thing.....I just thought that the way Croatia fought was very inspiring

[@ComputingGizmo]

Darth Nexus it wasn’t a free penalty. The ball was impeded from getting into a danger area. He impeded a goal-scoring opportunity. These commentators are looking for a way out of their bad predictions. Its damage control. But to discredit France based on a situation that happens all the time, thats just weak.

[@mayzilla1174]

I just felt bad 4 Croatia.....I love it when someone fights like they did......till the end......they truly played with their hearts...….don't get me wrong.....I just hate goals like that......and then this autogoal…...it's hard to come back from that......But all in all.....This was a great match......A lot of positive energy after the match as well.....Both teams are winners actually

[@Tschouki]

Schmeichel is 100% biased. First goal was due to an obvious foul (just watch it again). Second goal was due to hand ball - the fact that the hand ball was not intentional is not the only critetia... the direction of the ball is a greater criteria. The ball was on his way towards the goal, more precisely, towards Grizu who was there in front of the goal. The hand ball changed the direction of the ball. If the ball was directed away from the goal towards a corner, then the unintentional hand ball shouldn't have been a penalty. The penalty was a 100% just call.Forther more, Croatia, which played nicely (respect!) barely made it to the finals - they won twice by penalties... more luck than merit. France won all the way to the top.Croatia got very very lucky not to meet Belgium on their path to the final, because if they did, they would have lost to Belgium - Belgium is a better team.Not to mention that if France had a proper striker (Giroud was lousy), the score would have been higher.Croatia should be proud of their achievments.

Shut up Peter. Even at 1-1 you can't predict the future.

[@banareshussain2185]

Peter did you not agree that it was penalty for Russia when Pique could do nothing with his handball that was far worst than today why the double standards and hypocrisy by you and other pundits and media

[@BalkanBoy19]

Well to be fair...Pique held his hand above his head, which is an unnatural position to have your hand. Perisic jumped up and his hands were moving down in a natural movement.

[@banareshussain2185]

CroRaider88 mate you have no idea what your talking about go look at it the ball went past Pique head he was facing the other way with his back turned the Russian player headed the ball full blast on the back of his hand you need your arms to jump up to give you the elevation and balance

[@BalkanBoy19]

You need your hands to jump up, but he had his hand vertically above his head. That is not a natural movement even when you jump. Don't you think every defender would jump up with both hands above their heads to prevent any kind of header, if that would be counted as natural movement?

[@sakkaaaa]

Schmeichel was a great goalkeeper, but a terrible commentator. A deliberate hand ball in the penalty area is a penalty, period.

[@gchelem]

hand in the box=penalty, end of discussion.

[@igorpiskac8006]

yea i mean he had exactly 0.01 seconds of time to analyse where the ball is going to go and to put his hand away,he must be very sorry that he isnt as fast as the speed of light as you are probably since you would probably have dodged it

Referee issues are part of the game. True champions can deal with that. If you're devastated because of a referee issue, then you don't deserve to win. It took a long time for France to understand that, and to build a strong self-confidence, whatever happens with referee. Croatia has to learn too. It's World Cup, childish excuses are useless. (I remember, back in the day, France's team complaining about quality of the grass. Guess what ? they lose ! They started to win when they abandoned this loser attitude).

[@dekismokton2407]

1. Never listen to a goalkeeper's opinion when it comes to a penalty call 2. Plenty of videos online showing that the ball trajectory would have landed in a pack of 3 French players for one Croatian. MBappe and Umtitti were on the trajectory and chances for a goal were as high as it gets 3. Intentional or not, that is penalty. End of the debate 4. At 2-1, Croatia had the ressources and mental to come back. They showed it in all previous games) 5. Croatia couldn't prevent France from scoring another two in 6 minutes 6. Croatia can thank Lloris for gifting them a second goal and thank Pogba for missing an easy volley that should have been a fifth goal 7. France did not have a good first half because Kante was sick. As soon as he got subbed at 53', France got back in the game as it should have been from the start CONCLUSION Croatia was a very good team. They were better in midfield, possession, and at moving the ball. Congrats for their performance and congrats to Modric for winning the best player's tournament award.

[@jeschiefboy]

All but two born in France

[@sebl5259]

Proud!

[@elizabethaltschull5714]

I'm not too sure what is meant by this. The French are proud of their citizens born in France of foreign born parents: these players were born in France, speak French, were trained and raised in France and wouldn't be able to live in the countries mentioned. No-one questions the multiple immigrant origins of American players (South or North) why question those of a country that has massive immigration like France? Football recruits its players in poorer neighborhoods with lots of immigrants. Immigrants have been shown to be a more dynamic sector of society with more upward mobility than their native sociological equivalents. Big European nations have lots of immigrants and their youth is of mixed origin. Mbappe is a wonderful example: his father is from Cameroon (and has a German first name), his mother is from Algeria (possibly second generation already) and he feels 100% French and is perceived as such. How else would you have it? How does their origin belittle the victory or diminish the aura of French football? Or was that not the point? What was the point? As for the final game, I regret the arbitration on the "hand" - at the time it appeared to me to be a "hand on the ball" with a decisive effect on its trajectory but as a referee I would not have called it so as not to disproportionately reverse the dynamics of the game (because I think it was unintentional). By such a drastic decision, he stole the victory away not so much from Croatia (I understand that Croatians can feel that way) but from France: too many people doubt unfairly that France deserves the victory. But Lloris would not have made his absurd mistake had France been in another configration (it was a bad psychological mistake based on France's strong lead at that point) and the come-back of the second period would have happened anyway - a tighter game with the same outcome I believe because the French team were paralyzed at first (lack of experience and difficulty with their status as favorites) but the momentum they gained in the second half was not only due to the leading score but to the feeling that they had to really "deserve" the victory. The Croatian team has outstanding players and very good sportsmanship. The individual rewards were well deserved: Modric (best player) and Mbappe (best young player).

[@ChristopherGibbsBKK]

racist nonsense.

[@elizabethaltschull5714]

Big nations are multi-ethnic, multicultural - whatever you want to call it and Croatia is a tiny crumb of what could have been a great multicultural/multiethnic nation: Yugoslavia. The fact is the division of a nation State into small "ethnically pure" micro States is a regression and nothing to be proud of. Now that should get me some hate comments! But the idea that African French aren't "really French" stems from a very different concept of what a nation is.

Croatia scored 2 goals: one for France and the other for Croatia! LMFAO! What a bunch of whiners. Get over it!

[@PeterSodhi]

Last 20 minutes, 4-2 down. Croatia played 5 at the back. 4 shots on goal?? The goat herders deserved to lose.

Poor Schmeichel...

[@manglji]

France where the heavy weights,Croatia middle weights,France hit hard & down went the fighting Croates

[@DreamWalker886]

Of course this is penalty, without kick with the hand, there would so many french players behind ... this commentator is full of shit.

[@rtwiceorb770]

DreamWalker886 the game stops the second it hits the hand. There is no intention for that hand to block the path of the ball. Reff should have overrulled it as for a penallty of hand ball there has fo be intention but there was not. As for first goal of France player offside and is involved in actionand Griezman dove. What you say is invalid. Reff should have given Griezman yellow for dive or mark it offside after the cross did nothin. You can make a mistake ofc even not owerrulle the pen but to much mistakes went to France side

[@georgevila2777]

[@Demon_InDaHouse]

@Tomislav Petek You mean Eastern teams are not equipped with players from Africa who win the games for them. Well, that still doesn't work out for teams like England, they're still unsuccessful.

[@igorpiskac8006]

so true ahahahhahahah,they are proud of a fake nation,put together a team of 23 real frenchmen,they probably wouldnt even beat russia,you know what,i challenge you to name 23 real french players whose origins are only from france,without google youll name 3 at the most ahahhahahah

[@marinakaurloto4141]

[@16psyco]

You are so unfair, i rewatch the action and it is obviously a penalty, he block the ball like a true handball goalkeeper.

[@guitarfreak888]

It was deliberate and intentional as most defenders would instinctively put their arms behind their back or close to the chest if they really want to follow the rules and to not be judged in violation of the rules but instead we saw Perisic obviously instinctively FLAILED his arm in attempt to at least alter the trajectory of the ball EXACTLY like previously VAR punished PKs in the tourney such as Umtiti's or Pique's. Not as stupidly and inexplicably as Umtiti's or Pique's but it fitted the criteria of a violation of the rules, deliberate and intentional.....

[@faithtonejason]

Dionyssus Adhie Giggs was right on another channel, everything looks ten times worse on a slow motion. it was a bad call, ruined the game. France deserve the trophy, but not in this way.

[@101MrBlack]

I've never seen anyone jump 60 cm in the air with his hands behind him and Perišić is not a defender.

[@jednamalavjeverica]

france deserve nothing!At first,it was not a freekick!second mistake, the same freekick Pogba was in offside!third-sixth mistakes dont given corner for croatia or dont given a freekick! seventh mistake dont given a penalty for mandzukic! and you say france deserve???!!!!france bought the WC 2018!!its really a shame

[@KaSousek58]

He was airborne and struck by another player

[@guitarfreak888]

faithtonejason There's also another channel called FIFATV where you can see the replay of the incident and it really was spot on as Perisic deliberately put his arm towards the trajectory of the ball FASTER than the speed of the ball, even in slo-mo....

[@ADJoshua1]

I love all this speculation as to what would have happened and why and when... Whatever happens, your job is to make things happen and react accordingly. France played under par, even poorly to start - jitters, Croatia's strategy, whatever... It's done. See you in 4 years - 2 if the Euro Cup is on your calendar.

[@Enuogyan]

100% penalty. It's a clear hand. Griezmann minded the croatian. Leave fairy land and come back to real world please :) Stop being jealous of france. :)

[@Sunray693]

You mean Africa?

[@Sunray693]

Football rules say that refferee can dismiss handball if there was no intent to move the trajectory of the ball. So if the player accidently plays with arm it is not a penalty! that`s what is controvertial! It can go both ways and refferee was not sure even after VAR... Witch proves my point

[@croatiainhart45]
