World Cup 2018 Final: France vs Croatia

[P.D.]

I wish people would stop saying Mbappe is one of the stars of the world cup, a great player who will be amazing in the future but he didn't do much in the group stages, in the knock outs he was amazing against Argentina and reasonable against Belgium and Uruguay.

The 2 best players have been Modric and Hazard with Modric the star for me.

I would not be surprised to see Modric lift the cup.

Do FIFA do a young player award? Mbappe could
be in line for that with Modric getting the main prize.

Loads of goals and loads of drama would be good

As long as the goalscorers are spread out so Harry wins the golden boot.

Mbappe is the only threat and he’d need a HT to tie.

Yeah there is a young player award, he'll likely get that. People who perform well in the knock outs are the ones who are remembered.

Much as I would like Lloris to enjoy a World Cup victory, I can’t envisage any scenario in which I would want France to win.

100% with you on this one. With Modric playing, and the way Croatia fouled their way through our game, especially Lovren, it’s a bit like an Rent boys V Arsehole game and picking a winner, except for Hugo of course.

 

[Baleforce]

Whenever lolren gets chippy in the press he follows it up by embarrassing himself on the pitch, I fancy he might get a red card today.

I don't think Modric is marketable enough to win it.

 

[Rorschach]

Spurs player to win is my preference but I won't be too disappointed if Croatia take it. This has been the best world cup for many years.

 

[markysimmo]

Shearer said that Pavard and Meunier have been better than Trippier, really ??

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

I see Putin’s in the crowd, Spurs7891 won’t be happy, shouldn’t mix sport with politics.

 

[JerusalemMan]

I think I do just about want France to win this due to Hugo. But if Modric and co could nullify/humiliate Kante and Pogba, that'd be great.
And they take the lead!

 

[elyid]

Offside surely? Or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

 

[StephenH]

Griezmann is a cheat

 

[elyid]

Really confused how commentators haven't once mentioned offisde for the goal + no replay. Weird.

Meunier has been brilliant IMO

If Trippier hasn’t had the assists I’d have him in, but Trips has kinda come from nowhere

 

[Baleforce]

What a goal, Perisic is awesome

 

[nerdved]

Lovely from Perisic! Just what the game needed
