van Hanegem Posted 15 July, 2018 Share Posted 15 July, 2018 France has the best players (apart from the hopeless Giroud) and are obviously the best team. Too bad they play some kind of Mourinho style. Really awful to watch when you’re neutral and want to be entertained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The better team won today, they had too much for the "best defence" in world football. Funny that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convict Colony Posted 15 July, 2018 Share Posted 15 July, 2018 France clinical and always had another gear. Croatia played well but I think having one of the best defenders in the world couldn't stop the french tide. I predicted 4-2 in Paris on Fri and will be in Paris tomorrow to collect my winnings This was a world cup where reputations counted for nothing, you got what you deserved. I think this was the world cup of better teams winning over more talented (name recognition) ones. Qatar is going to completely f*ck every perception up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Munster Posted 15 July, 2018 Share Posted 15 July, 2018 The better team lost....robbed. The ref got the 2 big decisions totally wrong. A South American team would still be protesting now. It was a clear handball that prevented the ball from going across goal. Also the Croatian first goal came from a free kick from a non-existent foul. On top of that Kante then got a totally unjustified yellow, which restricted him from then on (and led to him being substituted). Croatia's other goal was a gift. France are worthy champions.

That's why I would've given it as well, if he doesn't handle it it's going across the face of goal less than 6 yard out. Whether that's right by the rules I don't know, but I thought it was a pen.

aintforever Posted 15 July, 2018 Share Posted 15 July, 2018 Blatant penalty. Arm up in the air and was used to control the ball. It wasn’t blatant but I can see why it was given. It’s an area that is always going to be open to interpretation wether there is VAR or not. It was rightly referred to VAR because ref obviously did not see the contact with the arm, wether it was deliberate or not is the ref’s opinion so Shearer and co’s hysteria is just nonsense.

Very instinctive and last second but he did and it stopped the ball going into a more dangerous area. Correct decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint michael Posted 15 July, 2018 Share Posted 15 July, 2018 Him and Southgate together might actually be decent. Clearly Southgate is good at organisation, man management, motivation etc. Hoddle seems pretty clueless at that stuff but, apparently according to people who work in football, he's clever tactically. Is that right. Interesting about motivation, would have thought he would have been good at that. He was really straight talking on what he saw was good and on what needed improving and didn’t get overly excited by progress others were getting toooo excite about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Useful Idiot Posted 17 July, 2018 Share Posted 17 July, 2018 Didn't MBappe mostly play as a wide forward? How did Neymar get in there? Most dives and rolls in the competition? Paulinho? Lolvren? really? Should be Rekitic for Paulinho, De Bruyne for Neymar, Granqvist for Lolvren, and probably Strinic for Young (I think Nagatomo was the best left back in the competition, he didn't stay in long enough to deserve a place in the team).

shurlock Posted 17 July, 2018 Share Posted 17 July, 2018 What about Kane, he won the golden boot maybe he`s not in it because he only scored against nothing teams ? Golden glove is awarded for performances - so presumably the winner was the best player in that position. Golden boot is for goals scored which doesn’t mean much when as you point out it’s against Micky Mouse sides and accounted for by pens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazlo78 Posted 21 August, 2018 Share Posted 21 August, 2018 Højbjerg not included in the latest Denmark squad. NT Coach Åge Hareide directly admits that it is solely down to him not playing in the first two games of the season: "I had hoped that Pierre-Emile could have played for his club, but unfortunately is hasn't been the case. He was very much involved before the WC and I spoke to him, and I would like to see him back in the National team. He is a player I have had faith in from the beginning. But it is difficult to include him if he doesn't play for his club, so we are forced to look at other types of players". Hareide still have two open spots due to injuries, so PEH may still get his call-up. Vestergaard is included after his illness in the weekend.
