Now France is about to be given a handball penalty. Ugh this is not how you want a World Cup final to go. Obviously a penalty but still.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

I think after review Perisic will have goal removed for a Varane own goal also.

Given? It was an obvious handball.

they need to expand reviews to dives in the attacking third.

Griezmann with the PK

2-1 France

What? I literally said obvious penalty. Given doesn’t mean undeserved...

If Mandzukic doesn’t head it into his own goal it wouldn’t have mattered. He had a mental mishap and cost his team.

Sorry.

it shouldn't be left to that. that doesnt validate the free kick.

Well, favor retuned on the mandzukic dive just now that lead to a scoring chance and two corners. They didn’t score though.

Exactly and now France is lying on the ground for no reason to kill time

What dive? The one with two hands on his back?

I said attacking third. Not frances attacking third.

From the replay it looked pretty bad tbh.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Haha. Went down without so much as a push.

Yep and no call. Led directly to a third consecutive corner. People hate france and will see what they want.

Watch it again, he was pushed. Greisman wasn’t even touched

I dont care for either squad lol.

Oh, didn’t realize the last Modric free kick was in front of their own goal and 3/4 away from France’s box. That’s because it wasn’t. It was in Croatia’s attacking half.

He was touched not pushed. I agree on Griesman.

You are out of you volcan mind right now. Are you French? I am going to say this again...

FIFA should review for dives in the attacking third for all teams during world cup play. This isn't against any one team. Stop getting so defensive.

 

[FallCreekVols]

Croatia is maybe the best ball-handling team I've seen.

We’re lucky that there’s var at all. EPL would benefit tremendously.

Having said that, there was contact with Griesman and I could see why a foul was called. He did dive a bit though. Still a harmless ball headed right for goalie until Mandzukic went brain dead.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Like Spain only with better finishing.

Belgium however was awesome to watch and I’m upset they didn’t take this thing. They dominated France and lost.
