If you wash away all the bullshittery (and giving a broad definition of bullshit, I thought the PK was 50/50 and the Griezmann free kick definitely a foul), the score was still 2-1 France.
(and no, Deschamps is only the 3rd, the BBC commentators couldn't shut up about it. Don't know who the other 2 were though.)

It was very close. Hands/arms don't count for offsides according to FIFA rules. Originally Posted by Spike`

He was captain for the final only I believe. Laurent Blanc (original French captain) was red carded in their semifinal against Croatia when Bilic pretended to have been punched in the face. Originally Posted by eschatological

Okay, Blanc I definitely remember. No wonder I didn't remember Deschamps being captain. Originally Posted by Adamas102

Indeed all looking at the entire tournament France was well deserved of the gold. Originally Posted by eschatological

After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

Man this thread is carnage.
France are worthy winners, they're not a 'great' team like the 98 winners but they're certainly the best of the current top teams.

Allez les bleus, allez les bleus, allez les bleus!
Ahem. Props to Croatia, I think they made a game of it despite the score. France got lucky, but they were also ruthlessly opportunistic and that won them the game. It's still gonna be a party when I see the French branch of my family in a few days.
