The scariest thing about France is that they are going to win this World Cup and they haven't even tried that hard. I liked the spirit of Croatia off course. But even I have to admit France has been the strongest side this cup.

It feels like France can sort of coast from time to time while Croatia has to be on their A game just to keep pace. Not all that uncommon to see in sports when there is a significant talent disparity. France's talent level is incredible. World class players like Mbappe, Pogba and Greizmann all scoring goals in a WC Final, and all being 27 or younger. Nuts.

I feel like France definitely had the talent to win. But they also didn't really ever play that sexy. *shrug*

I just can't get over people dropping and screaming like that. Do they HAVE to yell and act like they've just been kicked in the balls?

This is the worst timeline but France did their job. I can't hate on them too much, especially not after Euro 2016 :)

Congrats to France and the French fans, well done!
Croatia fought like warriors as well and showed the most heart out of any squad this WC; just an amazing team to watch. They have done their nation proud just like the French team.

Yep, they've been able to handle every strong attacking team pretty easy and counter precise and fast, it's pretty insane.

Question is if they'll play the same way, I don't think they will succeed trying to replicate this tournament.

Will be frightening if they play attacking football with the talent at their disposal.
