FIFA WORLD CUP FINAL
FRANCE 4-2 CROTIA
PERFECT POGBA
Antoine Griezmann gets what might well have been his first
touch of the game and wins a free-kick on the back of a fairly innocuous
challenge by Marcelo Brozovic. It’s about 30 yards from goal, well right of
centre.
From the aforementioned free-kick, Antoine Griezmann whipped
the ball into the penalty area, where Croatia were defending far too deeply.
Back defending, Mario Mandzukic rose highest to get the touch that sent the
ball past Danijel Subasic and inside the far upright
France win a corner, which Griezmann curls into the penalty
area. Blaise Matuidi tries to get on the end of it, but doesn’t make decent
contact with his head. France’s players claim Ivan Perisic, who was marking
Matuidi, handled the ball and it’s going to VAR!
Antoine Griezmann nonchalantly rolls the ball past Danijel
Subasic into the bottom left-hand corner and France re-take the lead.
Paul Pogbas first
shot from the edge of the area is blocked, but the ball breaks kindly for him
and he scores at the second attempt with his left foot.
Kylian Mbappe takes possession of the ball 25 yards from
goal, gives a little shimmy and sends a low drive fizzing past both Domagoj
Vida and then Danijel Subasic into the bottom left-hand corner.
Croatia pull one back after Mario Mandzukic capitalises on
some shocking goalkeeping from Hugo Lloris to give his team a sporting chance.
MY
OPINION
This match was decided by a VAR decision
that the ref would not have given if it was his choice and the rules seemed to
back the Croats and if they had got to half time at 1-1 I don’t know what would
have happened.
