    I'm just saying the winners of the NBA Finals are the World Champions of Basketball... the winners of the MLB World Series are the World Champions of Baseball... the winners of the NHL Stanley Cup are the World Champions of hockey... the winners of the NFL Super Bowl are the World Champions of Real Football... so I heard we had a soccer league called MLS... which for all I know could have went out of business 20 years ago... but shouldn't who ever wondered that should be the World Champions, too?

    Lol. Handball wasn’t intentional. Y’all crazy or stupid for thinking so. Nobody in their right mind is gonna intentionally slap the ball in the box unless it’s to prevent a guaranteed goal. Everyone on the pitch is smart enough to know that a stiff handball is gonna be seen by the ref or called out by the other players and be reviewed.

    That said, despite unintentional, it was a worthy pk call. Drastically changed the trajectory of the ball in a goal-scoring scenario.

    Exceptional performance by Croatia in this world cup. They made history and earned the respect of everybody.



    20 years later, they have made it again. Congratulations to France. Well well deserved.


    This was undoubtedly one of the best world cups. Plenty of surprises, Unpredictability and great moments.


    Here's to another 4 years to come.

    Every Denis Cheryshev goal...but they were juiced up

    Aside from that Pavard's volley and Mbappe's 2nd goal (incredible team movement in relation to the ball in just a few touches) both against Argentina were my personal favorites.

    Come on man, don't be "that guy". Penalty was obviously a penalty.
    You can prob get away with that s--- outside the box but it when it's a shot on goal, intentional or not they have just denied a chance with their hand. That deserves a second chance, which is all a penalty is.

    That’s not what the rules are though. In the Argentina v. Nigeria game, Rojo had a hand ball in the box too but when the ref reviewed it, he ruled it not a penalty because there was no intent. I’m not saying Croatia would have won the game had there been no penalty but the game defintley would have played out much differently.

    Lol this is "real football", not f---ing handegg/rugby ripoff.

    Also no, the mls is a s--- league that only s-----y semi-pro's and retired players play in. American's are the best in sports only american's play lol. Football is the world sport, and your s-----y country is at the bottom of the barrel.

    France won thanks to their shameful colonialism. Croatia has 4 million people, and reached the final. They have to be proud. If Yugoslavia still existed itd be interesting to see as a team

    I wouldn't call it shameful. End of the day these players choose to play for France, and why wouldn't they? If Messi had chosen spain over argentina then he'd have at least one world cup and multiple Euros. Also these players might not have reached the level they are at if not for the infrastructure of french football. The reason South american teams are falling behind is because south america simply isn't capable of mass producing talent the same way Europe is and then most of the best SA players are developed in Europe anyways. The best south american player of the last 15 years (arguably of all time) lived in Spain since he was 10 and was on the wrong side of the world cup winning and Europe dominating generation of Spanish and German players.

    Not shameful for the players obviously, but how this world works overall. Never mind.
