This was the most forgettable WC final since decades. Prove me wrong.
Every other France and Croatia matches were at least fun, I don't know why no one remember last year final. It's like it doesn't even happened at all.
I'm the only shitter who thinks this? I mean, they were both great teams the entire tournament (minus France against Denmark, that was just semen slurping).
Was expecting a France vs England one for the bants
Robert Collins
Croatia struggled in a much easier side of the bracket. France stuck to their tactics pretty much throughout the tournament, which wasn't that exciting but got the job done. Aside from about 20 minutes in the Argentina match, I don't remember France ever being behind in the tournament. The two best teams of the tournament were France and Belgium, by far.
Jeremiah Gonzalez
Seeing everyone mad about it was very, very enjoyable >dive for the freekick >an offside for one of the goals >pogba scoring >muh possession
Bentley Young
I think it's because you don't care as much about soccer as you used to, tbqh
Thomas Watson
Brazil were good too, they deserved to defeat Belgium
Belgium vs Brazil and Belgium vs Japan were great games
James King
Because Croatia is a nothing country, politically, culturally and footballing wise. England v France would've been a BLOCKBUSTER. The protagonist of human history and its sidekick/rival France
Hudson Murphy
I watched it and don’t remember much from it.
Brandon Jenkins
France was the huge favorite before the final, so it didn't surprise anyone they did win it.
Carson Reed
France won before it started, the bracket was terrible and Croatia should have never reached the final, it wasnt even top five France, Belgium, Brasil, Uruguay, Portugal all those were better than Croatia and would have reached the final if they were on Croatias side
Portugal England and Spain are the protagonists of Europe.
Blake Cooper
Do they still teach you that Napoleon was a good guy in school?
Hudson Lewis
they were actually, the last few finals had two strong sides going at it for 120 mins. This was the most one sided final in 20 years, all the top sides playing like shit ruined this WC 2bh.
>i enjoyed neverland asspain final i know you bongs like eating shit but come on..
Connor Campbell
Face it, I have the high ground.
Dylan Fisher
For me it was Belgium - Japan. That was my tournament match. Great football, great result, great goals. For a second place France - Argentina.
Jason Barnes
For me it was Spain - Portugal
John Kelly
France Argentina was easily the most entertaining since both defences were shocking the entire time and we got some kino goals. No other knockout match came close.
Mason Harris
yoj have the high pot bowing down to a far away granny.
Nathan Morris
I'm portuguese tho. Portugal and England together made history NEVER DONE BEFORE. Bow french scum
Portugal - Spain > France - Argentina > Belgium - Japan
Jackson Jenkins
>This was the most forgettable WC final since decades. Prove me wrong. 2002
Jonathan Evans
Real final was Belgium France ( it was boring) Croatia was completly physically cooked in the final, they played so much more game time. Despite people in their team saying "we're fine", it's all nice talk and moral boost but in reality they are humans and their bodies make the rules despite what they want.
Ayden Russell
Don’t try it...
Samuel Gutierrez
Me either Must have been the only final I havent watch since 1990.
Justin Sullivan
go ahead you can't deal wit the big coq.
Jaxson Lee
>Portugal They were literally a few minutes away from being in that side of the bracket, but then they fucked themselves over by giving a penalty away in injury time.
>Belgium They had it in their own hands to be in that side of the bracket. Good of them they won that final group stage match and eventually won 3rd place, though.
Is this the pinnacle of being French? Being a bitter shitposter on Yea Forums raging about Anglo's whilst your country is increasingly subverted by Sub-Saharan invaders? Your country's history is constituted by repeated failures and invasions and now all you can do is sperg like the bitter little froggy you are. Please keep posting, I thrive on your hurt.
Bentley Adams
wow you're fucking seething, truth actually hurts lmao.
Kayden Morales
user, you are not wrong but all finals are shit.
Justin Peterson
This. Holy fucking hell that would have been MASSIVE.
Henry Cook
Fukken do us a favour and stop seething at bait
Andrew Clark
>but then they fucked themselves over by giving a penalty away in injury time. fucked by ref and var, you mean
Brandon Rivera
No final will ever compare. (You) me if you were there
there are some extreme oldfags on Yea Forums but you are pushing it here.
Christopher James
>br's beaten at home in front of 200k people I think you might be onto something
Noah Foster
>Belgium vs Japan that match was hilarious, Belgium were dominated until they remembered that their entire team bar Hazard/KdB were 6'2+ and they were playing against midgets
Sebastian Gonzalez
>most forgettable WC final >remembers it enough to make a thread about it
Croatia should have used those blue lucky meme kits to beat France
Juan Taylor
lol, a seething pole
go kys you polish cuck, you're not even majority in your own nation so you try to defend your (((anglo))) overlords
Jonathan Hernandez
It was easily the most entertaining WC final I've seen
Connor Lee
>but then they fucked themselves over by giving a penalty away in injury time. that and morocco taking the lead in the other game made the group ranking swing a bunch of time in like 5-10 min. Kino moment desu
Ian Lee
every final has been forgettable in my experience. i can't remember any of them.
Grayson Jackson
Nah I liked it. The pussy riot thing, the own goal, Macarron and the croatian prez, it had its moments.
>Mandzukic own goal >hand ball penalty It was shit
Ryan Rodriguez
Wrong. It was fucking based.
Daniel Ortiz
There was no compelling storyline behind this final. Look at the 3 World Cups before:
Germany established themselves as THE team when they destroyed Brazil 7-1, Messi paralleling Maradona in more ways than one leading up to the final and setting the stage for "best player vs best team". It was either a legendary prophecy that was to be fulfilled or the logical outcome to "best player or best team" for a team sport, in which the latter came out on top.
Spain-Netherlands is also a top tier final. Netherlands, known for their beautiful football were looking to win the World Cup in a more ragged fashion as opposed to the attractive style they've always been known for. Spain were reaping the rewards of Cruyff's teachings. two Barcelona players (Fabregas and Iniesta) combine for the winner.
Italy vs France had the legendary ZIdane headbutt. But before that he solidified himself as a mythical figure when he decided to take a panenka in the fucking final. Hits the top of the bar and goes in and then comes back out. Literally the greatest penalty taken and it was in a world Cup final. The same man that provoked Zidane took it to extra time, and . On Italy's side of things, Grosso turned out to be an unlikely hero for his country, having scored one of the most dramatic goals to take out hosts Germany, then took the deciding penalty to win it.
For the 2018 World Cup it was "pacenog #3019 has shown incredible pace, will he be able to score an inconsequential goal in this final and show us he really is the next Pele?". And Modric winning best player was extremely forced, it was a cheap throwback to Messi winning the best player award 4 years before. The best possible final would've been Belgium and England - would've been a classic "club teammates square off for the greatest prize in football", Gareth Southgate's reborn Lions against the Golden Generation of Belgium.
Dylan White
France-England would have been a good final too. Croatia were just a souless team and we really shouldn't have choked against them in the semi-final.
>England they didnt deserve to go that far horrible players, horribles fans
Charles Watson
seems forgettable because you didn't qualify!
Give back our shores! #Bolivia
Julian Hernandez
Why are frenchies getting so defensive? The fact that it was forgettable doesn't make the win less legitimate, but it was just boring, and you can't make people remember it fondly just by demanding it
why kiwi flags are the most stupid posters on this board ? why are they so arrogant and pretend to know something about a sport they are totally shit at ?
Josiah Wood
That isn't a response to what I said. Again, why so defensive? You won the world cup; congratulations.
Adrian Cox
>I prefer watching a 0-0 semen slurping final without even a shot on target until some late goal in extratime ending the borefest like in the last 2 finals
>it was just boring no not really, it could be better, but I wouldn't call it boring
Jason Kelly
again why being an arrogant bitter pretending it's forgettable because the team that won it isn't the one you're supporting, and why being defensive ? well you anglo flags are our ennemies, all of you, we hate you from the bottom of our heart, got it ?
Tyler King
>anglo flags are our ennemies, all of you, we hate you from the bottom of our heart, got it ah there is something I agree with
Andrew Mitchell
>trying to make it about muh anglo Yeah, everybody in this thread who has said the same as me was an anglo It's not how many goals scored. There was just nothing outside of the football. 2014 had history rivals Germany vs Argentina with Messi having his best chance at winning the world cup. 2010 had 10 different legends involved in the final. 2006 was Zidane's final game and him getting sent off for a head but. 2002 was Ronaldo vs Kahn. 2018 was just the most talent team of the tournament going up against a decent side but one that realistically stood no chance
Eli Perez
everybody on this board is an anglo cock sucker, they are npcs following the antagonist narrative, thx god france is there to hold the flame of common sense.
Brandon Torres
We got lucky as fuck to be up 2-1 at the half, Croatia was playing way better
Dominic Ortiz
It was a final which was pretty much decided in the first twenty minutes. Probably the only world cup final with no tension whatsoever. Shame.
Nicholas Hernandez
It should a been Argentine vs Croatia final desu
Benjamin Phillips
why are you retarded? Croatia was a thrill to watch you fucking mongs
Maybe for you Ngubo Magunbu, but for me, it's something i will never forget. Watching it in town with my buddies on the big screen, a fuckton of people around us, despite the loss we celebrated like crazy, as if we won. There were quite alot of French tourists at the time there aswell and we all congratulated them on the win, and we went to celebrate. It was a great day despite the loss.
Nobody thinks about you desu you're like that kid at schools who lives too far to participate in the afterschool games and pretends he dates a girl from another school
Benjamin Jones
We finished 2nd 3 times and not once did anyone celebrate it. If you lose, you're a loser. Even 3rd place is more presitgious than 2nd because you actually have to play for it and finish the tournament with a win.
Lincoln Walker
Lmao dutch nigger couldnt even make the wc
Jeremiah Mitchell
Because they sacrificed the future of their country for some meaningless silverware that nobody remembers.
Juan Wilson
for you it's another failure to win and just another silver. For us it's first finale in football and 2nd place, which is higher than 3rd from '98
Juan Baker
we wouldn't celebrate silver in handball either, we need another gold there
Mason Brown
"Making the wc" doesnt mean shit. You're in it to win it. If you don't succeed in that, you're a loser.
Nobody celebrated the first 2nd place either.
Luke Thompson
>not once did anyone celebrate it I agree with the rest of your post, but did you forget 2010 already? There was a homage to the squad and staff and they even went on a cruise through the canals of Amsterdam.
Jackson Richardson
2010 was total shit thigh. Terrible Vuvuzela annoyances, the home side being awful, everyone defending against Spain so that all their matches were boring, a terrible final mostly notable for bad refereeing and Robben misses. Literally the only fun was Suarez vs. Africa and Lampard's disallowed goal.
Matthew Stewart
Everyone was seething right after the final though.
Bentley Allen
fucking lmao, are you kidding me? you dont remember the awkward meeting between our NT and the royal family after the world cup where everyone was looking disappointed and sad? even willem couldn't hide his disappointment
Kayden Ward
because you had high expectations, we barely passed Finland in qualifications, we only wamted to pass group stage in WC and we would be happy, but then we wrecked Argentina and drawed Denmark in 1/8 finals, then Russia beat Spain etc. Fortuna fawors the bold
Gabriel Hernandez
based
Sebastian Price
They played better but did not manage to shoot on target, which is very cruel for them, as overall France had more shoot on target despite playing kind of random lethal football.
Eli Mitchell
>Frace cheats to win a trophy I didn't even watch it because I hate reruns.
Juan Robinson
this one is from Liverpoll lads
Brayden Allen

Nathaniel Young
You can tell how little France deserved to win/how much France cheated by the ferocity of their *supporters' defensiveness. As proven by those two frogs getting triggered by my factual statement immediately.
*called "supporters" rather than "countrymen" because half of France isn't even French
Nolan Williams
>my factual statement UK lives in an alternate reality, in which facts such as brexit bringing back 300k£ per week for NHS is "true"
he was injured and for some reason wasn't substitued
Benjamin Baker
>tfw had sex with Griezzmans penalty in the background
Fuck u mean this World Cup was memorable as fuck
Brayden Scott
pogba was hidden, he didn't even know pogba could shoot again, subasic got his weight on his wrong foot, on mbappé's goal he tought mbappé was shooting on the other side. subasic's mistake especially on mbappé's goal is especially why he's very good at penalty shootouts
Gavin Collins
*cums during a fornite celebration*
Luke Parker
Croats ran their asses off the whole tournament and couldn’t last in the final. Frogs just played brainlet counter attack tactics and won on sheer physical superiority. Should have been Ingerlund vs Frogs. That would have been great no matter what. Ingerlund wins, memes win. Ingerlund loses, it’s hilarious, we all laugh. Ingerlund loses on penalties and the entire country kills themselves.
Ayden Long
If it works and won them the fucking world cup, how is it brainlet? Are you retarded?
Noah Cruz
let it be, people think it is not football if you don't achieve 965 pass per game with a 78% possesion rate and win 1-0.
Adrian Diaz
i dont know what it is but something about this WC was plastic as shit.
Jonathan Lopez
>i dont know what it is I'm pretty sure you do
Brody Nelson
You got your asses handed to you by Koreans, who consist of like 60% plastic. Is that it?
Parker Barnes
yes you got me, because we dropped out the entire wc was shit. right. no you idiots something beyond that felt off. one thing that comes to mind is that there was no drama whatsoever. there was no backstage heat. VAR plays a role. i think this WC also had the highest percentage of dead ball goals compared to the total amount. some important countries didnt participate at all. CR7 and messi went out too early. i don't approve of the style the winner played. this entire wc was odd and i didn't like it.
Landon Evans
The only thing I will remember is that Croatia had a damn good jersey
Thomas Walker
reminder that we got reffballed,but our revenge will come you dirty niggers
you got absolutely shat on in the final though, france looked like they didnt even try if it wasnt for lloris making that meme fail it wouldve ended 4-1
>If you just ignore the 2 goals that were called uncorectly,they completely shat on you
Cooper Diaz
I just drove behind a really slow Croatian van, wtf does DA mean on a number plate? Is that how you record years in your primitive backwater of a country?
Parker Sullivan
FUCKING LMAO I love this autistic delusion you dumb slavs have. The only questionable thing was the freekick, but the penalty was 100% deserved. Maybe try watching the match next time instead of stealing cars, you would've actually seen how your team got absolutely dominated throughout the whole match. Players like Modric and Rakitic literally went missing and the only goal
Caleb Sullivan
>2 goals >2
Jeremiah Lee
You realise that even members of the referees organisation said it wasn't a penalty right?
The Croat is right. France cheated.
Leo Torres
Yes and other referees said it was. You just believe who you want to believe. Also, how is Mandzukic scoring a LITERAL own goal somehow France cheating?
Carson Ramirez
What? We're talking about the penalty that wasn't a penalty and the freekick that wasn't a freekick. That was how France cheated.
Oliver Young
>We're talking about the penalty that wasn't a penalty But it was a penalty. A controversial one, sure. But just because some referees said it wasn't, doesn't mean it shouldn't have been given. Loads of other referees backed the decision as well.
Also, since you apparently cant comprehend simple sentences: Mandzukic scoring an own goal doesn't mean France cheated.
Thomas Moore
Lmao
Nolan Watson
It wasn't a penalty. It was ball to hand. Literally everyone that isn't French or apparently Dutch, knows this.
>repeating the same thing for no reason Are you mentally disabled? They dove for a freekick and they got a penalty that should never have been given. That's cheating. You mentally deranged spastic cunt.
Ethan Adams
turned off my 32 inch 4K tv as soon as Grizman dived
Jonathan Miller
He avoided the contact of what going to be a foul anyway. He then shot the FK perfectly
Evan Murphy
>He dove Yes, thanks for repeating what I said.
Evan Ward
lmao, the hand clearly went toward the ball
Caleb Myers
You do understand France would have beaten England 5-0. It would be sad to watch.
Easton Baker
Ironic how you complain about me repeating facts but then proceed to repeat the same dumb shit you wrote in your last posts. France didn't score from the freekick, the dumb retard Mandzukic did. And again: JUST LIKE THERE ARE REFEREES THAT DIDNT AGREE WITH THE PENALTY, THERE ARE NUMEROUS REFEREES THAT AGREE WITH THE PENALTY. You just want to believe what you want to believe.
Eli Brown
Yeah, people tend to move both hands perfectly symmetrically when trying to hit something with one hand, right m8? Fucking frog retard.
If the freekick doesn't happen, the goal doesn't happen you fucking spastic. Honestly just fucking kill yourself. Nobody deserves to ever suffer the misfortune of interacting with you. You nigger dick sucking faggot.
Carter Hill
Dude just chill
Luis Harris
>pure ad hominem Thanks for finally accepting you are wrong. Have a nice day and goodbye.
Zachary Bailey
You can kill yourself too, nigger.
Adam Roberts
That's not ad hominem. Those are insults. I destroyed your "arguments" with facts and then proceeded to bully you, you little virgin. Thanks for embarrassing yourself once again though.
Andrew Baker
You can't remember Italy-Framce 2006??
Noah Robinson
But you didnt post facts. You posted opinions. I posted facts, which you responded to with more opinions.
Thomas Adams
>Griezmann diving isn't a fact >the freekick (that he cheated to get led to a goal) >if he didn't cheat, there would've been no freekick and therefore no goal >DOSE ARE OPINIONS BRO!!! You dutch really are the absolute dregs of humanity.
Joseph Edwards
Dude just chill
Austin Rogers
How can it be forgetable if it still working "people" into a seething shoot more than half a year later
Dylan Davis
And you would've had a point if a French player scored from that freekick. But it was MANDZUKIC, the CROATIAN player who headed it into his own net. Nobody to blame here but him.
Ayden Mitchell
>who headed it into his own net From....?
That's right, the illegally obtained freekick. Good job, mongoloid. You're starting to understand what happens when people cheat.
Ian Moore
Keep seething. Not a cheat if you avoid contact from an obvious foul. Grab your head around that.
Cooper Ward
At least it was more enjoyable than the African Confederation vs Croatia.
John Garcia
So, by your logic, a man who catches a cab, gets out a couple streets later and dies because he trips and breaks his skull open on the pavement died because of the taxi driver? Of course not, he only has himself to blame. Just like Mandzukic did after he headed the ball into his own net.
Cooper Nelson
>not a cheat if you dive There's that nigger attitude at work.
No, but a man who starts a fight and that fight results in someone tripping and breaking their skull open caused the death of that person.
Asher Ortiz
griezmann is a genius
Luke Taylor
so griezmann should have risked an injury? he knew he was getting fouled
Jaxon Jones
Penalty was deseved. Freekick wasn't. Croatia was shit throughout the whole match. France dominated the whole match.
These are the only facts, dont let anyone convince you otherwise.
Luis Roberts
You're embarrassing yourself, Mboko. Stop posting. We all know you niggers hate rules and laws, but don't keep trying to force this on us.
Aaron Smith
croatia dominated the first half desu, kanté had a bad day as soon as he was subbed off France could move freely
it is common tactic to injure key players to have an edge during the game, griezmann is a veteran he knows better.
Carson Reyes
>griezmann cheated first because he knew psychically that the others were trying to cheat and he wanted to stop them from cheating by cheatinh himself imagine being this delusional and black
We played better in the first half, you played better in the second. Overall you were the better team on the tourney. 3-2 for you would have been more realistic I think.
Ryan Gutierrez
we got the luck of the champion la
Michael Perez
based france making /pol/tards like this bong ITT seethe in anger more than half a year later
Connor King
dumb nigger
Jonathan Walker
let it out muhammed, let it out
Henry Collins
false dichotomy
Oliver Collins
that's because you're miserable western cheesemen now strangers in their own countries.
Jeremiah Davis
user im pretty sure someone from a country like holland is more happy than someone from a hellhole like bosnia
Camden Roberts
to be fair, maybe he's from Herzegovina
Isaiah Taylor
not much of a difference. at least in holland you dont have to worry about blowing yourself up in your garden on an old serbian landmine
Caleb Clark
Brasil is full of weakmind players with no real interest and will to win a WM I'd say they all fell for the Champions League meme
