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

VAR'ing corners is a level of petty I aspire to

LOL Giroud, the luckiest donkey in captivity.

Their CF barely got a shot on target in 98 either.

Giroud has been ok though.

"oh, hes only just come on the pitch george"

thanks for that ronnie

clear dive there shpuld be booked

lol this cunt ref

we'll be reading articles in 20 years time about how giroud became a swimming pool salesman

Sarcastic clapping also a yellow

good spot NN ref let croatia away again there

Genuinely angry the BBC would devalue this World Cup Final by letting Martin Keown commentate on it.

List of WC winners:

Brazil 5
Germany 4
Italy 4
Argentina 2
Spain 1
France 1
Uruguay 2
VAR 1

World Cup ruined?

Lloris hoofed it right up apparently not realising there was no Giroud there any more.

Actually feel bad for him. He's going to win a World Cup and he's just going to feel really angry, embarrassed and despondent.

lol yes exorcise a demon of losing Euro '16? what, that was only 2 years ago wtf?

I agree VAR should have been used in 66, but they actually let England win it

Bloody Russians.

thats a red

hugo might just be happy and relieved

looooool

pogba shite

gotta headbutt ppl if you are gonna get sent off in a wc final

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.

A beautiful game. pic.twitter.com/MK91bZGpdJ

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.
