Croatia just couldn’t capitalize. Champions score. Only losers say « oh look, we had more possession and play during this and this. » Bottom line is Croatia scored one real goal during the game and France scored 3 real goals (if you take away the PK).
It's not that simple. Again, the penalty broke the game. Asking to come back TWICE against this France is too much.
Either way, it's over now, no use going back and forth. France are not Greece 2004 or anything of the sort, noone was saying that.
They played their style to perfection, defending and countering, and they earned their World Cup win.
In the end, not their fault Pitana decided to give that penalty anyway.
The only thing I am salty about regarding the French is Griezmann's goal celebrations.
Is. He. That. Dumb.
And seeing his LeBron series of videos, apparently he is...
