Only bad one was the Griezmann dive which I’m not sure can be reviewed.
Perisic handball was 100% a penalty.


I totally disagree. And, even though it may sound strange, I would be more ok with it if the ref had given it straight away, but there's no way that was a clear and obvious error which needed to be overturned by VAR.

I totally agree. It couldn't have been a clear and obvious mistake as the ref never had a view in the first place. And then, the ref has to absolutely certain that it's a deliberate handball to which he couldn't have been, because he took so long and even had to go back for another look.

The refereeing team have decided the outcome of this game, which is a shame.

Good goal, at least.

Game over.

A shame it was decided like that and most of all in favour of these cunts.

Strange, I thought Pogba had been shit all game, losing possession, misplaced passes, yet the commentators tell me I'm wrong.

Oh well.

Cometh the hour etc etc. Think I must be watching a different game because the one I’m watching doesn’t have Pogba running the show and having the commentators wax lyrical.

Nice finish Mbappe

Player of the tournament according to Murphy. Hasn't done anything all tournament but don't let the facts get in the away of that.

Is Croatia’s goalkeeper still carrying a knock that he looked to pick up in the quarter final? Not dived for either of Frances goals in the second half

I really need to understand what is the fucking hype around Pogba.

Without being biased, every fucking time I watch this fella there is no difference between him and Gelson Fernandes or Dabo, but the media, and this goes worldwide, is trying to convince everyone he is world class.

What the fuck am I missing?

It's called 'The media hype of anything Rag'. It doesn't matter who they are, Rags could put the tea lady on the pitch and they'd be hyped as the next Pele. It's called preferential treatment and the Rags get it in spades. In fact, I'd suggest that they actually pay for it in some cases.

Been a great tournament and congratulations France but the end has been soured for me with decisions being made that could have changed the outcome of the game.

But this is worldwide, not just in England. The commentators here are praising the fucker like he is Socrates.
Plus the transfer fee behind him and all.

Just missed an absolute sitter from six yards out. And a minute or two earlier completely fucked up a breakaway on the right. Yet wasn’t castigated for those

It's worldwide because of 659 million so called followers, and that he wants to be noticed.

Did you know, we did a similar sort of research and it turns out that Little Old City have at least 400 million possible followers, and that's without a disaster and Sky building their business around us.

Not bad, eh ;-)

Well done France. Score four goals and you won’t lose many games it must be said.

I watched it on the Beeb, wonder what Twaddle made of that?

Is that true - Giroud didn't score all tournament?!

Wonder if the French media have mentioned it constantly and dug him out?

Deserved enough, but don't feel France played that great other than against Argentina who were so easy to cut up.

Mbappe stood out, and Pogba played better than he has, but the football was not all that impressive.
