France didn’t smell the ball and was outclassed by Croatia The Whole game. ...Croatia got robbed by two silly ref calls that caused two goals ..Croatia you are the real winner
@Miror B GOD Croatia played more minutes then France and still done good. Btw your team is african team. Shut the F up. With out black players you would not be on WC.
@Miror B GOD hahahaha Racist comments? Only truth. We have less then 4 mil people dont need to take african players to be good at sport. First you need to have respect t earn it.
I hope that the Croatian manager gets a good job in a top league. The fact that he told his players to just have a good time before the final is someone who I think that players would love to play for.
He'll be Croatia's manager for the next four years for sure, regardless of success in EURO '20 Qual. But to me, Dalić is more of a coach-motivator and the history showed us that some managers aren't built for league football coaching. I'm not saying he doesn't have the knowledge. In just 9 months, he turned Croatia from a depressing, inert team on the brink of not qualifying at all to a world vice champion. I'm just saying he should pick his next job rationally cause Asian football (his previous league success) just isn't on the same level as European football and there's a lot less pressure on coaches.
That's not how you approach a final. He knew Deschamps plays for result ,that he doesn't care about how his team plays that he relies on counters to win games. You simply don't "have fun " in the final and play offensively, you just don't if you want to win the final. In my opinion he has a partial fault why Croatia didn't win this game and obviously the referee who was horrible.
Gibbzy Dan Croatia deserved shit. Scoring home goals and scrapping by just to make it to the finals . They got trashed 4-1 but for a courtesy goal and shit French goal keeping.
@@louisleycuras8357 The only reason it looked like they crushed Croatia was because ref gave them 2 goals.Griezmann dive and the handball that 90%of pro coaches and referees agree should never be called in a WC final.Croatia 61% posession 15 shots while france had 8.France looked lost before referee got them the lead.

Odeka angel We came from a long period of unfortune and bad reputation because everyone considered us weak and despite the loss, im proud of what we have achieved. Silver medal with a golden shine
Suddenly? Not at all. Our team has been present at most big tournaments since England 1996 (Croatia's war for independence ended in 1995). Throughout the years we've beaten Germany, Italy, Spain, Argentina, England, Netherlands and many others. In some important matches one could say we were unlucky. In some important matches one could say we were robbed by referees. We won bronze medal at World Cup in France 1998. Now we came in second. Nothing sudden about it if you watch football tournaments. Thank you for wishing us the World Cup gold though. It would be very nice. There'd be a riot in the streets (in a good way).
Is it me or are the materialistic people here in the comments who just care about goals usually the ones who either didnt make it anywhere near the finals or didnt even qualify for the world cup? I'd be really depressed if i "enjoyed" football the way you do
It was really during that part when it was 3-1 and when it was 4-1 that I could really feel that Croatian dominance. But I mean those two goals were fixed too.
Handball: The rule states if the hand is placed intentionally to block the ball. In the play the Croatian player didn't block the ball intentionally we was coming down from a jump.
Did you guys know that 1st goal was not only not faul but also was offside as France player who was in offside pushed Mandzukic when own goal happened?
Marko Milan i honestly think ante rebic is gonna be fucking amazing for croatia. dude caught my attention in every game this cup. can’t wait to see what happens with him
The Euro is in 2 years, your "youngs" should be known already, pray that your "olds" will stay until then however, otherwise, there will be no Croatia.
Much respect to Croatia....everyone that gave England shit for losing to them is a clown, Croatia is pure class....wish they won but that's football, luck is needed sometimes
Croatia was robbed of this match, by rewarding France with a penalty kick on a unintentional handball. That changed the momentum and the game as a whole. Refs seemed to have favored the french...
French # Most Romantic / Beautiful Language Ever It DOES NOT MATTER about team strengths....its about the RESULT and GAMEPLAY. IF YOURE going to use the stupid "well x was the better team anyway" why play the game in the first place? Theres no point to that.
tactically, croatia is better than france which is why france needed the refs help, and also as football fans we all congratulate and give respect to where it's due, but you can see in the comments section no French fans do so towards Croatia. They celebrate the high and ego, but not the actual essence of the game because the French didnt do that well in the entire tournement.
They did, however, if this World Cup showed anything, it's that some of the star players are overrated as fuck. Pogba being the primary example. I will never know why United paid so much for that kind of a player, but yet again, that's the same team that offered a new contract to Fellaini, so it doesn't really surprise me. France can thank Kante and Mbappe for a great WC, they really played good, as well as Croatia can thank to the whole team, because, even though they don't have the best individuals such as Brasil and France do, they pissed blood every single match.
Tarik Ashmawi yeah but it wasnt on purpose and like the finals you cant do that to them since french also touched ball with hand several times and once next to a goal which could be a penalty but of course they were for france so they didnt replay it
Referee mistakes to the side for a moment, what also had a huge effect on the game was the fact that Croatia played 3 extra time games in a row, including 2 penalty shootouts. That's effectively more than 1 entire extra game that Croatia played. 3 x 30 mins of extra time PLUS the 2 penalty shootouts which are mentally exhausting. AND ON TOP OF ALL THAT the schedule of the competition gave France one extra day of rest time. Croatia went through a much tougher group stage than France did as well, playing strong physical teams like Iceland, Nigeria and of course Argentina which ended up being the easy game of the group stage in the end. So Croatia came into the finals DEFINITELY not 100% ready and DEFINITELY not in optimal condition, like France was. Croatia had some injured players, it was exhausted, had 1 day less of rest time than France who were not as exhausted in the first place, AND on top of all that was being buttfucked by the refs in front of 1 billion people. Despite all that, it still played excellent, still dominated and controlled most of the game, it attacked, played attractively and dynamically, especially in the 1st half when I felt like crying after the 45 min whistle because I couldn't believe the score after a 45 min period in which France crossed the center line TWICE and had one official attempt and like 30-something % possession. I think it's safe to say that if THIS Croatia and THIS France played 10 games, with fair refereeing, and both being equally rested and fit, Croatia would probably win 7-8 out of 10 games.
Nations like Mexico Croatia japan Iceland will be good in coming years and we shouldn't be surprised if they knock out one of the the big teams in next world cup.
We (Croatia) have an aging line-up, that is our main issue. But we do have good talent coming through the ranks too, Modric however will be hard to replace. Mexico, Iceland and Japan are very different cultures but from my point of view all amazing, I would be happy if they achieved greatness at the world stage.
This famous lyric works for Croatia only and only Croatia has a right on this lyrics as France did not give all as they play anti football From desire for gold they forgot for what reason that gold is shining. Even when I lose I’m winning 'Cause I give you all, all of me And you give me all, all of you
France beat Argentina. Why wd the ref favoured us . Bullshit if you as me The days before the final ,Croatians were bragging about taking their revenge from 1998. But we and the players were thinking 2006 , 2016 again ? No way 🌟🌟
You really couldn’t ask for much more from Croatia. They played each match with heart and really played solid football the whole way through. They may have been somewhat off the beaten path, but watching them play you could see the experience and fitness that separates this team from the competition. The 3-0 swamping of Argentina put a confidence in that team that carried them through the knockout stages, and the will they had to not only play in 3 straight comeback Extra time/PK games on their way to the final, but also to play France at a very high level in the final, is honorable and would have made them worthy WC champions. Unfortunately, they happen to run into a French machine that was just reaching peak form, and while both sides didn’t play their ideal game, in the end the Croatians were wiped from their long battles and the talent of France was able to capitalize. I know the match was controversial, but I think if you run it back 10 times, France probably wins 6-7 of them. Just the deeper team with more talent at critical positions. All that said, Croatia and its players earned the respect of the world after that run.
Griezmann is a fucking weasel and the ref is a piece of shit. Croatia is the better team. Don’t BS me that France had a deeper squad. Enjoy being FIFA’s champions. Croatia is the champion of the people.
Milo The Russian Blue You're a sore loser. Be more humble and accept defeat and your place. You guys had a much easier side to go through to get to the finals. Once you faced a great team, you lost. You're lucky u did not have to face Belgium and Brazil, or that you weren't knocked out before you got to England.
Sum1stio whatever! France was begging not to play us in the first round. Your weasel player Griezmann set up the first goal that shouldn’t have been a foul in the first place. Then once I saw the penalty awarded, I knew where this was going. Enjoy being FIFA’s champion. Fucken cheating weasels.
Milo The Russian Blue You do not deserve respect. You give no credit to your opponent. Croatia fans did this with England and now France. You're heads got too big for my liking. I'm glad you guys lost and are showing you're no better than "arrogant" countries.
Amazing soccer by an amazing team. For Croatia the did win the gold! The penalty was legit but definitely not the foul! If that was a foul by Croatia then there were definitely several instances when there should have been fouls against the French team. I question the referees knowledge, fairness and professionalism. In any case Croatia is very, very proud and happy!
Croatia was robbed because of that Argentine referee. He ref against Croatia because Croatia give Argentina 3 - 0 and the ref was born in Argentina so what does that tells you. #thief #Wasn'tAFairMatch
@Miror B GOD Suppose you mean why he wouldn´t go against France. Doesn´t hurt to get wiped out by a powerful big nation. Far more disappointing loosing to an underdog.
Every one is worried about the penalty that they dont even realize that the freekick call was the actual bullshit greizmann wasnt even touched by brozović
Nobody talks about a faul on Mandjukic when he scored an autogoal?! He was pushed in the air by 2 hands from Pogba that's why he didn't catch ball good and the ball glazed his head and tricked the goalkeeper!
Even dalic said it probably shouldnt have been penalty because its a stupid reason and not on purpose on finals like its not on start of the tournament but on finals french also touche ball with hands several times and once next to a goal but of course they didnt show closer on camera because they were in favour of france
Unfortunately, Croatia played this final game without a goalkeeper (Subasic injured right leg in match with Russia), this is big BIG mistake of coach Dalic why he let him play.... :( Thanks Russia nation for best World Cup!
best young player? what kind of award is that, how about having an award for best old player then? lol. This WC has given me so much life, get such a kick pissing every single french supporter about their dishonorable win :P
They think they deserve to win with very weak arguments and i get so irritated when they start to compare Mbappe with Modric or Pele etc. COME ON, kid is not the main reason why France won WC. It was Grizeman who made the dive and the referee! And to be more objective, it was the strong French defense which has pulled them through these matches, who are we kidding here. Change the French defense and the team would be thrashed left right center back by every team. Their forwards, nothing amazing otherwise someone would have won the golden boot instead of Harry Kane.
Immensely proud on my squad, and do not feel sad they lost against a formidable French team. But these "pundits", they do not know what are they talking about, really. I mean Croatia lost because France played a brilliant tactical game cutting off Brozovic passes towards Modric and Rakitic. Of course Brozovic did succeed on more than several occasions to give a usable ball to them, but spent too much energy in the process. Hence the weakness in the middle in Croatian defense.
The referee helped France. Even Roy Keane said it was not even a freekick, not even a fault committed. FIFA had made sure that France would win no matter what. Probably the most disappointing refereeing quality throughout Moscow 2018. I wasn't there on the final, could have the referee shot.
croatia was robbed...but u have to also blame subasic...for shit goalkeeping..he didnt even dive for a save.... the french did their best.... also defeated tougher opposition such as uruguay , argentina...and top favourites belgium... plus... with alot of racism against the black players in france squad...and them failing to win euro in their backyard.... this was their moment.
Hmm I don't know what happened to Subasic during the final..he seemed distracted and tired..didn't even dive which is not like him. I was a bit shocked by his lack of effort especially when he was one of the key player in their win vs Denmark and Russia.
Davor Ban: Agreed! Subasic was hurt during the game against Russia and honestly Dalic should have started Kalinic for him in both the semifinals and finals. I would have understood this move if we didn't have a good sub, but Kalinic was great against Iceland.
It was a match where Croatia was played against Africa. Croatia was the only pure white european team. Country with 4,5 million people compete with country with 50-60 millions,but country unable to find 11 white (French) players to represent their country.
Damon Z. King. CRY IDIOTS. SMALL COUNTRY SMALL COUNTRY BLA BLA BLA... FRANCE RULE THE WORLD. YES THESE AFRICANS BELONGS TO FRANCE. SO NO ONE CAN STOP THEM FROM REPRESENTING FRANCE. HAHAHA
Well we had two Brazilians in our national team... :D But we aren't apparently that attractive to immigrants ..that is why we don't have much of them in our country. But if a foreigner would love to play for us why not... Sammir and Da Silva did it as well. Still I don't think we will have different people in our squad in the near future.
@@Niki91-HR sammir and da Silva just played for Croatia because they weren't able to play for Brazil and because of money as well. There are two naturalized Brazilians in Russia and other two in Ukraine, they play there for the same reasons as sammir and da Silva, I am against that because it destroys the whole point of national teams which is to represent a country, naturalizing players just makes national teams look like football clubs who buy the best players for their team.
@@x24ygu789h As far as I know Eduardo came to Croatia as a kid. And he got our citizenship. Also at least we have more or less only Croatians in the team. So one or two foreigners won't change much.
Because in France they don't see the color, only the talent... The greatness of France is its formation, otherwise Ghana, Ivory Coast or Nigeria would have been world Champs for long... Lopes (Portugal) Sabaly (Sénégal) Benatia (Morocco) Koulibaly (Sénégal) Guerreiro (Portugal) Kondogbia (RD Congo) Adrien Silva (Portugal) Brahimi (Algeria) Mahrez (Algeria) Aubameyang (Gabon) Pépé (Ivory Coast) You see this squad? It could be a French squad as all of them were born and raised in France, some of them even played in youth French teams. Croatia is doing a fantastic work in sports, but you have to admit that French formation is the best in the world.
Croatia wasn't robbed, France was simply luckier in the first half and more efficient in the second. But none the less, this is a massive success for our football and massive kick in the but for our kids to push themselves and try to surpass the achievement of this great generation. Our wretched government will probably just ride the wave of euphoria and promise stadiums and camps, but the reality is that our future success, just like the present, will be the result of hard work and determination of 25 talented and stubborn young man, possibly with some help from the staff and manager Dalić, who proved to be - finally - the right man for the job. Considering how much problems we have with corruption and lack of infrastructure, this silver medal is nothing short of spectacular.
French black chicken and dat OSCAR BEST dolphing diving actor played totally like a bitch during the match, this might be the worst match during WC2018, what a pity, it's the final.......facts can not be changed anymore smh....Croa was abso ROBBED
FIFA needa do something with the time & that fu*kin referee checking if it’s a penalty all this damn technical & they still can’t get sh*t right ??? So many players waste time ??? It’s football if you really hurt gtfo get a sub in immediately my G
They all are French players. Different ethnicity same nationality. They are also French citizens like White. They are born and raised in that country. So stop giving silly excuses
playing with hearts doesn't mean they are good. Look at japan for example. Plus, I think Uruguay at their best could have beaten france if they had cavani
Hrvatska najjaca But France shut down Belgium. They stifled their game. Belgium would have been batter final than Croatia - for sure. Croatia scraped through more games than France also
Croatia really played with heart, good chemistry, tough... But you have to admit they had luck..... Didn't face strong teams like Brazil, Belgium, Uruguay, than the lucky penalties
it is was one game to much for mandzukic.. and the penalty was too much for the Croats to take in... but overall- France was the best team in Russia 2018. no doubt. 🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷⚽⚽⚽🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵
France just got more goals that's it croatia won, it's a game anything can happen I mean Frances frost Gola Croatia scored on themself second Goal pently kick easy open net goal, it should have been 2-2 France did not play better they just got more goals which 2 were bs I think they should do a rematch France only got 2 legit goals sa,etc as Croatia the other 2 goals were a steel and if you can see that your a fool even my french friends know this, and know having more than half black people is extremely cheep let's just be honest, their proven to be physically stronger then white people, so no shit there gonna win a black girl was always the first one to get picked back in elementary cause they dominate whites FACTS nothing more
Croatia didn't score goal by themselves?! Look at reply again! 1st that free kick was not a free kick cause Brozovic didn't touch Griezmann at all ?! He faked that foul and after he took that free kick Mandjukic was fouled by Pogba who pushed him with both hand behind he's back! That's why he couldn't jump and clear that ball properly and he just glazed it with his forehead and that ball went to Croatia's goal!
Bruno Lucas Rebic getting fouled and then Modric missing the penalty, and Pivaric getting a yellow card and giving a free kick for Russia is what made Croatia go to the penalties
My goodness. Have some dignity -even when loosing. It wasn't even close. Yes Croatia played good in the first half and yes it could've been 4-3 instead of 4-2. But it also could've been 4-1 or 5-1. The more you complain about the referee, the more you lose the little pride you had in coming in second.
Jade Martin actually it isn't that simple. For example, u have no idea what would've happened had things gone your way. And what about the French golie's hillarious mistake at the end- he probably wouldn't have tried to outplay the offence if he didn't think they had a good goal buffer. I think that the difference of 4-2 was too large to say the French won because of the referee. I mean just look at how many shots the French had on target - 8 compared to 3 from the Croatians I believe.
An own goal from a free kick rewarded after a dive and a penalty rewarded after the ball was going towards croatian players either way, can drastically affect the mood and therefore tactics of a team no matter how good they are. Croatia managed to come back and win after 3 consecutive games losing 0-1 at the start, but this was too much
Little pride in coming to the WC final? What are you on? If you search the net, you realize most experts say croatia were robbed. People who know and love the game know...
No matter the result, Croatians won in many peoples eyes.
great players at both ends
yeah those with eyes!!!
Yes. There's nothing to be amazed with team like France; all imports, with barely even one true Frenchmen in the team.

Game should have been 2-2. Croatia was robbed, they dominated the whole game
couldn't agree more, the game seemed fixed in favor of the french ofc....
So the hand ball was rigged? Did the ref grab his hand and make him touch the ball?
It was really during that part when it was 3-1 and when it was 4-1 that I could really feel that Croatian dominance. But I mean those two goals were fixed too.
How were they robbed? Did you watched the game? The goals that France made was because of Croatia's defense mistakes ..

Much respect to Croatia....everyone that gave England shit for losing to them is a clown, Croatia is pure class....wish they won but that's football, luck is needed sometimes
Fabo Andolini nice profile pic man
Kree8ingMusic2 thanks bro! Always reppin Outkast and my city!
Croatia was robbed of this match, by rewarding France with a penalty kick on a unintentional handball. That changed the momentum and the game as a whole. Refs seemed to have favored the french...
Croatia destroeyed Argentina.
France scored 2 goals from 1 shot in first half.
Stop talking shit.
Oliver Ozvačić to je tako istinito da se odmah pocnem ljutit zbog tih golova
It wasnt about their being for the French, but just stupud decisoons
French # Most Romantic / Beautiful Language Ever
It DOES NOT MATTER about team strengths....its about the RESULT and GAMEPLAY. IF YOURE going to use the stupid "well x was the better team anyway" why play the game in the first place? Theres no point to that.
Oliver Ozvačić Pogba and Mbappes goals were no joke though. And Croatia would’ve only scored one if Lloris wouldn’t have gave them that second goal
Croatia! People's champions!! France is good at DIVING! Shameful
PONOSNA HRVATICA agreed! I ain't CROATIAN but I became a fan of Croatia. I bought a Croatia's t-shirt.
tactically, croatia is better than france which is why france needed the refs help, and also as football fans we all congratulate and give respect to where it's due, but you can see in the comments section no French fans do so towards Croatia. They celebrate the high and ego, but not the actual essence of the game because the French didnt do that well in the entire tournement.
Jonathan Woo You are insane to think France didn't do better than Croatia this tournament.
They did, however, if this World Cup showed anything, it's that some of the star players are overrated as fuck. Pogba being the primary example. I will never know why United paid so much for that kind of a player, but yet again, that's the same team that offered a new contract to Fellaini, so it doesn't really surprise me.
France can thank Kante and Mbappe for a great WC, they really played good, as well as Croatia can thank to the whole team, because, even though they don't have the best individuals such as Brasil and France do, they pissed blood every single match.
@@DD-vc7fq And Varane, And Lloris, And Hernández and Pavard and Griezmann for his exceptional free-kick skills...
quote from a salty Croatia fan
I truly believe Croatia could have held on 2-2 if it werent for the referee shenanigans.
the ref didn't score an own goal. 3-2 if you count the ref mistake (which wasn't a mistake, he played handball)
Griezmann dived , and it wasnt a pen so two goals gifted by the ref
Tarik Ashmawi go to youtube and watch post match commentaries. Everyone says it wasnt a pen.
Tarik Ashmawi yeah but it wasnt on purpose and like the finals you cant do that to them since french also touched ball with hand several times and once next to a goal which could be a penalty but of course they were for france so they didnt replay it
So the referee made croatian to make an own goal?
Referee mistakes to the side for a moment, what also had a huge effect on the game was the fact that Croatia played 3 extra time games in a row, including 2 penalty shootouts. That's effectively more than 1 entire extra game that Croatia played. 3 x 30 mins of extra time PLUS the 2 penalty shootouts which are mentally exhausting. AND ON TOP OF ALL THAT the schedule of the competition gave France one extra day of rest time. Croatia went through a much tougher group stage than France did as well, playing strong physical teams like Iceland, Nigeria and of course Argentina which ended up being the easy game of the group stage in the end.
So Croatia came into the finals DEFINITELY not 100% ready and DEFINITELY not in optimal condition, like France was. Croatia had some injured players, it was exhausted, had 1 day less of rest time than France who were not as exhausted in the first place, AND on top of all that was being buttfucked by the refs in front of 1 billion people. Despite all that, it still played excellent, still dominated and controlled most of the game, it attacked, played attractively and dynamically, especially in the 1st half when I felt like crying after the 45 min whistle because I couldn't believe the score after a 45 min period in which France crossed the center line TWICE and had one official attempt and like 30-something % possession.
I think it's safe to say that if THIS Croatia and THIS France played 10 games, with fair refereeing, and both being equally rested and fit, Croatia would probably win 7-8 out of 10 games.
derbigpr500 Well said legend
True, France won but Croatia played better football.
@@julessornay9980 Never
@Miror B GOD u r surely english and salty af. Its coming home its coming 4th place is coming home🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥇🥈🥉 none of these Ahhahhahahahahaahhahah
Hi so a year later im still crying over how robbed we were in the final
Nations like Mexico Croatia japan Iceland will be good in coming years and we shouldn't be surprised if they knock out one of the the big teams in next world cup.
Rashid Khalid Iceland and Japan all the way! From a Croat :)
We (Croatia) have an aging line-up, that is our main issue.
But we do have good talent coming through the ranks too, Modric however will be hard to replace.
Mexico, Iceland and Japan are very different cultures but from my point of view all amazing, I would be happy if they achieved greatness at the world stage.
Croatia
True winners!!!
This famous lyric works for Croatia only and only Croatia has a right on this lyrics as France did not give all as they play anti football
From desire for gold they forgot for what reason that gold is shining.
Even when I lose I’m winning
'Cause I give you all, all of me
And you give me all, all of you
Croatia did so well I did not even know they were any good before this World Cup. I like their basketball players.
Nestor Pistana that ref in the finals...he scoored 2 goals on his own...should he be the man of the match ? ..just saying..
Vrsaljko is fantastic fullback
France and the referee were too good for Croatia.
Referee killed what was going to be a great game.
France beat Argentina.
Why wd the ref favoured us .
Bullshit if you as me
The days before the final ,Croatians were bragging about taking their revenge from 1998.
But we and the players were thinking 2006 , 2016 again ?
No way
🌟🌟
France won the World Cup but Croatia won our hearths 🇭🇷🇭🇷 spremni smo za Euro 2020!?
Referee lost the game for Croatia!!
@Miror B GOD he was injured and shouldn't play at all.. 100% Dalic's fault!!!
Great team wish they would have put a none corrupt referee.
Congrats France from Croatia 😢
Thanks you for suporting us
We Show that you cant compeate against money...
robert fiser absolutly right, money and corruption.
robert fiser i don't understand your comment please elaborate
Da Bome
Since when is it fair to reward a dive with a free kick?
Well at least Croatia will always have Mirko Cro Cop.
But we want a Cro Cup
The had 12 players, Croatia had 11
You really couldn’t ask for much more from Croatia. They played each match with heart and really played solid football the whole way through. They may have been somewhat off the beaten path, but watching them play you could see the experience and fitness that separates this team from the competition. The 3-0 swamping of Argentina put a confidence in that team that carried them through the knockout stages, and the will they had to not only play in 3 straight comeback Extra time/PK games on their way to the final, but also to play France at a very high level in the final, is honorable and would have made them worthy WC champions. Unfortunately, they happen to run into a French machine that was just reaching peak form, and while both sides didn’t play their ideal game, in the end the Croatians were wiped from their long battles and the talent of France was able to capitalize. I know the match was controversial, but I think if you run it back 10 times, France probably wins 6-7 of them. Just the deeper team with more talent at critical positions. All that said, Croatia and its players earned the respect of the world after that run.
Please Continue
Griezmann is a fucking weasel and the ref is a piece of shit. Croatia is the better team. Don’t BS me that France had a deeper squad. Enjoy being FIFA’s champions. Croatia is the champion of the people.
Milo The Russian Blue You're a sore loser. Be more humble and accept defeat and your place. You guys had a much easier side to go through to get to the finals.
Once you faced a great team, you lost. You're lucky u did not have to face Belgium and Brazil, or that you weren't knocked out before you got to England.
Sum1stio whatever! France was begging not to play us in the first round. Your weasel player Griezmann set up the first goal that shouldn’t have been a foul in the first place. Then once I saw the penalty awarded, I knew where this was going. Enjoy being FIFA’s champion. Fucken cheating weasels.
Milo The Russian Blue You do not deserve respect. You give no credit to your opponent. Croatia fans did this with England and now France.
You're heads got too big for my liking. I'm glad you guys lost and are showing you're no better than "arrogant" countries.
Griezmann zgadio si mi se za sva vremena fujjjj
Croatia should have won. Bs
@Miror B GOD why r u liking your own comment HHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAH
Amazing soccer by an amazing team. For Croatia the did win the gold! The penalty was legit but definitely not the foul! If that was a foul by Croatia then there were definitely several instances when there should have been fouls against the French team. I question the referees knowledge, fairness and professionalism.
In any case Croatia is very, very proud and happy!
Croatia was robbed because of that Argentine referee. He ref against Croatia because Croatia give Argentina 3 - 0 and the ref was born in Argentina so what does that tells you. #thief #Wasn'tAFairMatch
#Learnhowtofuckingusehashtags
Kool Aid man learn how to stop being a Gay 🐟
Croatia gave Argentina a ticket to pass the group by winning against Iceland and this is how the ref. showed his appreciation.
@Miror B GOD Suppose you mean why he wouldn´t go against France. Doesn´t hurt to get wiped out by a powerful big nation. Far more disappointing loosing to an underdog.
Every one is worried about the penalty that they dont even realize that the freekick call was the actual bullshit greizmann wasnt even touched by brozović
Nobody talks about a faul on Mandjukic when he scored an autogoal?! He was pushed in the air by 2 hands from Pogba that's why he didn't catch ball good and the ball glazed his head and tricked the goalkeeper!
@@bizzobrigante1588 oh wow no actually i didnt see that
@@thedude4k Ckeck it out... you have different camera views and on one you will see it clearly!
Even dalic said it probably shouldnt have been penalty because its a stupid reason and not on purpose on finals like its not on start of the tournament but on finals french also touche ball with hands several times and once next to a goal but of course they didnt show closer on camera because they were in favour of france
1st and 2nd goal by Pitana turned this game around and put it in favor of France team!
Unfortunately, Croatia played this final game without a goalkeeper (Subasic injured right leg in match with Russia), this is big BIG mistake of coach Dalic why he let him play.... :(
Thanks Russia nation for best World Cup!
best young player? what kind of award is that, how about having an award for best old player then? lol. This WC has given me so much life, get such a kick pissing every single french supporter about their dishonorable win :P
They think they deserve to win with very weak arguments and i get so irritated when they start to compare Mbappe with Modric or Pele etc. COME ON, kid is not the main reason why France won WC. It was Grizeman who made the dive and the referee! And to be more objective, it was the strong French defense which has pulled them through these matches, who are we kidding here. Change the French defense and the team would be thrashed left right center back by every team. Their forwards, nothing amazing otherwise someone would have won the golden boot instead of Harry Kane.
Pitana get a input by FIFA malicious judging
Griezmann is a weasel.
Immensely proud on my squad, and do not feel sad they lost against a formidable French team. But these "pundits", they do not know what are they talking about, really. I mean Croatia lost because France played a brilliant tactical game cutting off Brozovic passes towards Modric and Rakitic. Of course Brozovic did succeed on more than several occasions to give a usable ball to them, but spent too much energy in the process. Hence the weakness in the middle in Croatian defense.
The referee helped France. Even Roy Keane said it was not even a freekick, not even a fault committed. FIFA had made sure that France would win no matter what. Probably the most disappointing refereeing quality throughout Moscow 2018. I wasn't there on the final, could have the referee shot.
The French know this was a scam. I'd be ashamed but we all know about French moral standards. Lol. Croatia world champ.
Croatia are real winners, they didn't lose to France, they lost to Africa.
This Final only proves Croatia will get that trophy eventually. Not to mention - a silver medal? In a world cup? Croatia? Come on.
that latino guy gets it, this is about mental resolve, we've always had the talent
croatia was robbed...but u have to also blame subasic...for shit goalkeeping..he didnt even dive for a save.... the french did their best.... also defeated tougher opposition such as uruguay , argentina...and top favourites belgium... plus... with alot of racism against the black players in france squad...and them failing to win euro in their backyard.... this was their moment.
Luqmanul Hakim Hopefully Kalinic can shine during Euros 2020
Hmm I don't know what happened to Subasic during the final..he seemed distracted and tired..didn't even dive which is not like him. I was a bit shocked by his lack of effort especially when he was one of the key player in their win vs Denmark and Russia.
Davor Ban: Agreed! Subasic was hurt during the game against Russia and honestly Dalic should have started Kalinic for him in both the semifinals and finals. I would have understood this move if we didn't have a good sub, but Kalinic was great against Iceland.
True but this may be due to fatigue and injury that prevented him from being his best for at least 2 out of 4 goals.
My comment about Subasic not being his best in the final game was in response to Zokix11.
Croatia was robbed a big time
referee stole game...
The real winners. Didn't require 200 years of imperialism to win, unlike France.
Whoever disliked is heartless
Croatia got robbed, free kick that lead to first goal was a dive and the penalty was just a joke.
Nobody care about small country like Croatia. We accustomed to it.
It was a match where Croatia was played against Africa. Croatia was the only pure white european team. Country with 4,5 million people compete with country with 50-60 millions,but country unable to find 11 white (French) players to represent their country.
Damon Z. King. CRY IDIOTS. SMALL COUNTRY SMALL COUNTRY BLA BLA BLA... FRANCE RULE THE WORLD. YES THESE AFRICANS BELONGS TO FRANCE. SO NO ONE CAN STOP THEM FROM REPRESENTING FRANCE. HAHAHA
Well we had two Brazilians in our national team... :D
But we aren't apparently that attractive to immigrants ..that is why we don't have much of them in our country.
But if a foreigner would love to play for us why not... Sammir and Da Silva did it as well.
Still I don't think we will have different people in our squad in the near future.
@@Niki91-HR sammir and da Silva just played for Croatia because they weren't able to play for Brazil and because of money as well. There are two naturalized Brazilians in Russia and other two in Ukraine, they play there for the same reasons as sammir and da Silva, I am against that because it destroys the whole point of national teams which is to represent a country, naturalizing players just makes national teams look like football clubs who buy the best players for their team.
@@x24ygu789h As far as I know Eduardo came to Croatia as a kid. And he got our citizenship. Also at least we have more or less only Croatians in the team. So one or two foreigners won't change much.
Because in France they don't see the color, only the talent...
The greatness of France is its formation, otherwise Ghana, Ivory Coast or Nigeria would have been world Champs for long...
Lopes (Portugal)
Sabaly (Sénégal) Benatia (Morocco) Koulibaly (Sénégal) Guerreiro (Portugal)
Kondogbia (RD Congo) Adrien Silva (Portugal)
Brahimi (Algeria)
Mahrez (Algeria) Aubameyang (Gabon) Pépé (Ivory Coast)
You see this squad? It could be a French squad as all of them were born and raised in France, some of them even played in youth French teams.
Croatia is doing a fantastic work in sports, but you have to admit that French formation is the best in the world.
Croatia wasn't robbed, France was simply luckier in the first half and more efficient in the second. But none the less, this is a massive success for our football and massive kick in the but for our kids to push themselves and try to surpass the achievement of this great generation. Our wretched government will probably just ride the wave of euphoria and promise stadiums and camps, but the reality is that our future success, just like the present, will be the result of hard work and determination of 25 talented and stubborn young man, possibly with some help from the staff and manager Dalić, who proved to be - finally - the right man for the job. Considering how much problems we have with corruption and lack of infrastructure, this silver medal is nothing short of spectacular.
4-2 champs
It's a shame Croatia didn't win this World Cup.
French black chicken and dat OSCAR BEST dolphing diving actor played totally like a bitch during the match, this might be the worst match during WC2018, what a pity, it's the final.......facts can not be changed anymore smh....Croa was abso ROBBED
that to far but robbed is true. Only at france vs belgium was terrible
FIFA needa do something with the time & that fu*kin referee checking if it’s a penalty all this damn technical & they still can’t get sh*t right ??? So many players waste time ??? It’s football if you really hurt gtfo get a sub in immediately my G
Mbappe for GOAT case?
Better than Messi?
sure, after he wins 6 ballon d'ors , 6 champions leagues, scores over 700 goals, then maybe.
This was idk, i can not number how many times was lost because of referee....

If you put all French on France team they would lose to Nigeria.. Africa won World cup..
With only French players, they would have lost to Faroe Islands (kinda just like Greece did)
They all are French players. Different ethnicity same nationality. They are also French citizens like White. They are born and raised in that country. So stop giving silly excuses
Anand Vipin
AAAAAHAHAHAHAAA
Let's be honest if croatia were on France side of the bracket the wouldn't have made the finals
CROATIA was robbed 🤭😢😢😢
The audio sucks
The best team didn't win but it scored 4 goals to 2.
France just had better & younger players & Croatia had their golden age era team not all so good but can play for sure 💯💯💯
France's players are not better. They lost the balls so many damn times and tell me what exactly does Oliver Giroud does?
Croatia would have won if they had a goalie instead of a spectator in net
Croatia is better, cut france population to 4 mil, put out africans. Can they make team to win, no.
1.France
2.Belgium
3.Brasil
4.Croatia
5.Uruguay
6.England
Shut up thats wrong croatia is 1. Cuz they played with hearts
playing with hearts doesn't mean they are good. Look at japan for example. Plus, I think Uruguay at their best could have beaten france if they had cavani
+Luka Mohac
Wow heart. They conceeded 7/8 goals in 4 games and went to penalties twice.
Hrvatska najjaca
But France shut down Belgium. They stifled their game.
Belgium would have been batter final than Croatia - for sure.
Croatia scraped through more games than France also
Croatia really played with heart, good chemistry, tough... But you have to admit they had luck..... Didn't face strong teams like Brazil, Belgium, Uruguay, than the lucky penalties
Robbed
it is was one game to much for mandzukic.. and the penalty was too much for the Croats to take in... but overall- France was the best team in Russia 2018. no doubt. 🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷⚽⚽⚽🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵
France just got more goals that's it croatia won, it's a game anything can happen I mean Frances frost Gola Croatia scored on themself second Goal pently kick easy open net goal, it should have been 2-2 France did not play better they just got more goals which 2 were bs I think they should do a rematch France only got 2 legit goals sa,etc as Croatia the other 2 goals were a steel and if you can see that your a fool even my french friends know this, and know having more than half black people is extremely cheep let's just be honest, their proven to be physically stronger then white people, so no shit there gonna win a black girl was always the first one to get picked back in elementary cause they dominate whites FACTS nothing more
Croatia didn't score goal by themselves?! Look at reply again! 1st that free kick was not a free kick cause Brozovic didn't touch Griezmann at all ?! He faked that foul and after he took that free kick Mandjukic was fouled by Pogba who pushed him with both hand behind he's back! That's why he couldn't jump and clear that ball properly and he just glazed it with his forehead and that ball went to Croatia's goal!
Well what you saying ? Croatia won twice on penalties and were lucky to beat England, France would have won the final no matter who they played,
Bruno Lucas
Rebic getting fouled and then Modric missing the penalty, and Pivaric getting a yellow card and giving a free kick for Russia is what made Croatia go to the penalties
My goodness. Have some dignity -even when loosing. It wasn't even close. Yes Croatia played good in the first half and yes it could've been 4-3 instead of 4-2. But it also could've been 4-1 or 5-1. The more you complain about the referee, the more you lose the little pride you had in coming in second.
2 Gift goals.......Game would've ended 2-2....Simple Math
Jade Martin actually it isn't that simple. For example, u have no idea what would've happened had things gone your way. And what about the French golie's hillarious mistake at the end- he probably wouldn't have tried to outplay the offence if he didn't think they had a good goal buffer. I think that the difference of 4-2 was too large to say the French won because of the referee. I mean just look at how many shots the French had on target - 8 compared to 3 from the Croatians I believe.
Zokix11 MC Agreed!
An own goal from a free kick rewarded after a dive and a penalty rewarded after the ball was going towards croatian players either way, can drastically affect the mood and therefore tactics of a team no matter how good they are. Croatia managed to come back and win after 3 consecutive games losing 0-1 at the start, but this was too much
Little pride in coming to the WC final? What are you on? If you search the net, you realize most experts say croatia were robbed. People who know and love the game know...
