    Re: FRANCE v CROATIA. The World Cup Final

    Hernandez fouled twice but keeps going and passes to Mbappe for France's best goal of the game.

    2-2 would have been a fair result, cheating and shocking refereeing decides the biggest game in football, shame.

    VAR has been great when it comes to foul play in the penalty area, but absolute crap when it comes to handballs with three correct decisions in my view being changed to penalties after it's intervention - thought the ref was very poor mind.

    A good Final to round off an excellent tournament, but the better team lost and, although it had little effect on the drama levels of the competition, I'm a bit concerned that the generally cautious approach of France and a few others will be followed by sides that don't have the talented individuals they do and much boring football will result.

    France were ( the world cup winners) have been accused of playing "Anti-football".

    What a load of shit. No one's scored 4 in a world cup final since Brazil 70. Compare them to Netherlands 2010 and then who's anti football?

    I didn't love France but the backlash is ridiculous.

    Was rooting for Croatia and they were on the wrong end of a couple of poor decisions, the Griesman dive and pelanty hand ball, which were decisive but to say France were anti-football is just plain daft.

    Now Argentina 1990 were anti-football as they kicked and bullied their way to the final but this French side has quality all over the pitch and this showed in the whole tournament. They played each game to win a football match and if that meant being more cagey in the final against a dangerous Croation outfit then hats off to them.

    Some of these journos for the rags are stealing a living.

    Were the Dutch team of 2010 that good? They chose to play the final in a way they felt gave them the best chance of success, as did France. What I'd say is that I don't think that Dutch side could have won if playing more attacking football whereas the French side could have and chose to play pragmatically despite this.

    No one way to play football and no one can deny France deserved to win the tournament.
