No Irish, No Yanks, No Clogs - FIFA World Cup 2018

Seriously: Best final ever?

Laul Pogba

best since 66 anyway

fred b mark s convergence disgrace

everything I could have asked for short of a Croatia victory

1970 final was a tad useful.

omg stop saying water carrier

deschamps becomes smallest man to win as coach and player

is mbappe gonna win golden ball

what does water carrier mean

before you stop saying it

CRO gave it their best shot, I had feared cagey.

Does the basics in support of the flair players. Xp

coined by Eric Cantona to describe Deschamps role in the French team of the '90s

Every WC is the best WC.

Bar this VAR business deciding the final. It was really, really bad although France can just score goals from almost anywhere so not certain Croatia would've gone on to win this.

It means someone who does all the unglamorous work and running in midfield.

Am I right that there was only one 0-0 and that involved the winners? Amazing World Cup, most enjoyable in my lifetime I think.

man how many backup keepers does each side need?

Always thought “water carrier” was a Gunga Din reference

And what do you carry water in? A cup

Am I right that there was only one 0-0 and that involved the winners? Amazing World Cup, most enjoyable in my lifetime I think.

Yup. And the other team managed to draw Croatia as well in the round of 16 (losing on penalties), so in some way you could say they were the moral bronze winners?

Croatia still well in the game at 2-1. VAR factor not decisive. Could've been so much worse.

France were so good going forward that I reckon they'd have won anyway.

Was this the best #WolrdCup final? Lots of goals, lots of craziness, both teams with plenty to be proud of, Mbappe high fiving a Pussy Riot pitch invader.

croatia got too stretched early second half. france have struggled to break down much worse teams but spreading out like that against pogba and mbappe is suicide

Best team won, really good final, irrationally arguing about shit that's finished. A-, would watch again

So many haters. This was utterly deserved.

VAR would have saved the Jules Rimet trophy

BBC picks for goal of the tournament missing Modric v Arg and one of Mbappe's. You could swap at least half a dozen out easily I guess.

mbappe roulade backheel through ball touch of tournament

boooooooo

they never replayed the touch and spin Lingard did just prior to Trippier's free-kick but it was up there

wasn't sure if putin was even here but he's handing it to lloris i guess

get a france kit on, macron, wee fuck

Well done, Luka.

presentation podium looks weirdly like a display stand for cadbury's dairy milk

nice to see mark hollis win the ballon d’or

you can see it at 00:09 here

"football HAS come home really"

Putin hogging the only umbrella was pretty funny. Macron and the Croatian President are totally going to bang. This whole presentation is weird.

“A side that represents the France that Macron waves to create too”

Yes, good work Manu “Africans have too many babies” Macron

put a bummer on winning the wc, having to shake hands with putin then hug macron

A nice touch would be to drop the Star Wars theme as played when Deschamps lifted it iirc

Golden Ball was Luka/ Hazard / Griezmann in the end.
