World Cup 2018 countdown!!!!

[Master]

That was never a penalty. VAR should not have been used. In slow motion everything looks deliberate.

Hope that is not the goal that decides the world cup final

[Master]

That should be the end Progba making it 3-1 France.

[Master]

Definitely the end 4-1 Mbappe.

[Master]

Well the goalkeeper for France has made a howler 4-2. Maybe just maybe.

Great world cup tournament, the best since 2006 for action.

Mistakes by officials led to two goals by France.

With competent officiating, Croatia would have had a very good chance of winning.

But what a great run they had, for a little country with four million people. They can return home proud.

Damn my bandwagon didn’t get me too far

I didn't really care who won to be honest until the two French goals went in. I started to root for Croatia at that point because they were properly hard done by on both goals. Griezmann fell over nothing for the free kick, OK it happens, a lot and everyone does it, but the pen should never have been. Like Master has said, everything looks deliberate in slow mo. If you're taking that long to make a decision, you should stick with the original I think. VAR is to clear up the howlers.

Playing catch up to France is an unenviable position. Pogba and Griezmann just looking to punish you and with Mbappe's pace, they did it expertly.

Harry Kane wins the Golden Boot.

The heavens have opened and rain coming down just needed the Croatian leader to have see through top in that rain.

You can always be counted on, Master.

I'd have no problem having you as a sports commentator, adding that extra bit of flair alongside the actual sports. Of course, you'd last exactly one game, 'cause unfortunately they'd yank you after that.




I watched the game much later due to a family beach event, but I managed to avoid any talk of the game until I got home and played the recording. Was devastated at that first France goal on the (cough) penalty. Definite dive that one. Seems Croatia totally earned their first goal, while France was gifted it. Croatia winning would've been the better story, but yeah.... they can be totally proud of themselves and celebrate their run through the World Cup. France, being the 2nd youngest team in the Cup, must be feared for years to come. Glad their goalkeeper suffered that momentary brain lapse if only to give Croatia one more goal. 4-2 looks infinitely better than 4-1 on the final box-score.

Russia can also pat itself on the back for holding such a wonderful and successful World Cup. It had all the excitement and fabulous football anyone could ever ask for.
