FIFA World Cup 2018

[Gorsameth]

The replay of the foal they showed after the penalty is imo crystal clear. His arm is pointed up and he throws it down towards the ball.

[Acidbaron]

Now score again and so they can try to luck out on another foul.

[Vankrys]

to me, if the ball would have touch the body anyway, i don't consider to be a handball, but in this case, arms away from body, intercept ball trajectory, i think it's a penalty.

[Bakis]

I also think Croatia stand little chanse against France, my heart tells me 3-1 to France (1 on penalty) and my brain tells me it will be 1-1 and as usual in this cup a penalty shootout after 30mins of extra time

I'm getting there

[eschatological]

Pavard looks like he's been dosed with Novichok.

[Setheria]

Couple of yellows now for France - need to be a little cautious.

They are playing for win the World Cup at any cost.

[Puupi]

France has been so lucky.

They've hardly touched the ball, haven't created any real dangers. Only one shot at goal.

Yet they lead 2-1.

[Flipo]

End of the first half.

Result-
France 2 : Croatia 1

[Vankrys]

yup, France is very lucky to be in lead in this first half. Croatia played better and was far more dangerous.
But that's football, dominating is not winning, it's all about who's scoring more.

I think France can play better though, as if the french player are KO by the stakes.

[Zantera]

Feel bad for Croatia - they've been better and both of France's goals have come out of nowhere with a big amount of luck.

[eschatological]

Alan Shearer seems to think both of France's goals were unwarranted. LOL.

Fuck this sold game. The ref has given two clear nothings to France. That's why theyre leading.

[Cairhiin]

France is so boring to watch, but can't deny it's efficient and effective.

[Puupi]

Champs Elysee looks like a perfect spot for a terrorist right now.

[PokeKitty]

Yeah it doesn't matter even if you have 80-20 possession, if you can't figure out a way to beat the defense, create oppertunitys to try and score you won't won.

Croatia becomes more dangerous in second half. Lets see what happen.

Welcome to how Belgium felt

[Deleted]

first goal was a dive...should have never happened.did france even shoot once at the goal?..

[babyback]

Lucky France. First a free kick they shouldn’t have had since Griezmann falls down before there is any contact and a penalty they shouldn’t have had either.
