Croatia really played well but it was French day and won the final by 4-2 which is a good win of lead 2 goals. Croatia was better in the start but second goal from France reduced the dominancy of Croatia and France became more dominant over Croatia. In the second half Croatia returned with level but again France hit another goal which clinched the match for them and the final trophy.
I think we can all agree that it was a good game. Finally! A good game in the final, not seen in a long time..... Too bad it was ruined by bad refereeing. Same with Barca 5-10 years ago for example - a great team, maybe the best of all time, yet we remember them for bad refereeing. Or Juventus, a fantastic team, would win 9/10 times anyways, but they had to give them an easy edge. We have the same situation with Dinamo in Croatia (and the only thing it does is ruin the competition and making their own chances in Europa league worse... ironically they even earn less money because of this).
France is a fantastic team, I saw them as tournament favorites number 1. Their third team (the one that didn't play on World cup) could win the World cup. However, I have nothing but despise for their win in the finals. And why? Because of some politicians. Come on. Let us play and watch football.....
