World Cup Final France vs Croatia about to start

Go CROATIA...

 

[GILSAN]

 

[Skyvisum]

Been a while.The team that scores first and keep attacking to score another will win.France needs to block the midfield .Croatia needs to stop the wing attack from France also.One thing I like about Croatia is ,they never stop attacking .France can also counter attack so this game woukd involve tight marking .

Best of luck to both teams .They deserve to be in the finals .

 

[GILSAN]

France score by a Mandzukic own goal. Referee made a mistake by giving a free kick from a non existent foul on Griezman.

 

[Skyvisum]

Croatia better not allow France to score again.Both sides have got speed.I Iove the counter attacks..

 

[GILSAN]

Croatia draw 1-1 by Ivan Perisic in a beautifully executed movement started from a free kick...

Go CROATIA...

 

[Skyvisum]

What a strike!!.Croatia never stop attacking .They got their result .1-1 .Game on.France needs to find a way to give the ball to Mbappe.Pogba is no where to be found .Why is France shifting back when Croatia has a control of the ball?This is an advantage to Croatia. France better starts holding the ball .

Good analysis.

 

[GILSAN]

Looks like a penalty for France...

 

[GILSAN]

Griezmann scores from the penalty spot and France are 2-1 up...

 

[Skyvisum]

What a penalty. France leads once again.Cool calm penalty .2-1 advantage .Let's see what happens next .Croatia is going to keep attacking again.I hope no one gets a red card.

 

[GILSAN]

Half Time: France 2-1 Croatia. Les Bleus are lucky to be up...

Was it the right call?

 

[Asfas1000]

For a final, it is a very entertaining game so far.

 

[BRANDERX]

such a good 1st half.

quality football

 

[LamsuanlunT]

Yeah. A goalless game would've been quite boring. So far so good.

 

[Skyvisum]

Kante substituted because of the yellow card .France needs find a way to feed the ball to Mbappe.They have to attack Croatia and turn pressure to win this game .Pogba not doing much .

 

[Skyvisum]

Now that is what I want to see .Give Mbappe the ball and now Pogba scores.Good one France .If France scores 1 more it's over.France have to attack and this will weaken the Croatians who have been playing a nice game.What matters is to score and take advantage of the game .

 

[-EM-]

I'm done with football. .

Was it the right call?

Les bleus (France) are lucky. IMO the penalty shoudln't be given. It was not "intentional" IMO. Needing the VAR to decide for a penalty ??
The referee must have had his doubts. Between experts-roundtable the're was discussion.

Anyhow : If France doesn't win with 2 goals difference, this will be a discussion that will always come back concerning this match.

But in the meantime MPOKBA makes 3-1.
They have their 2 goal-difference.

A thrilling match, also sadly disturbed by some people running
in the stadium for attention.

 

[GILSAN]

Croatia must score soon or else they are in trouble...
