That's crap.
Own goal off of frog dive

Yep. For VAR, I wish they'd review fouls inside 30 yards or so. It takes literally 5 seconds to see if there was a dive or not. It really wouldn't even slow things down. If you can't tell after one review, then keep it as is. But guys are godawful about diving in dangerous areas.

That's not a penalty. He can't do a damn thing about that unless his he literally has his hand behind his back.

France gifted the win is how I see it so far.

2 given goals.

Croatia will have to best the referee and that’s a tall task when paid off I’ll tell you that.

Soccer is a communist sport.

That’s how good the final third of France is... really getting dominated but they just need 2-3 attacks per goal really...

Germany 2014 would maul these guys. Spain 2010 would too.

Can't say I've ever seen a more deceiving 4-1 game.

Spain might be the best international squad I’ve ever seen... but I’d put France up with Germany four years ago and expect a very enterta8ning game.

It’s pretty entertaining imo... France getting ifted a goal is the only reason we’re not all going HAM right now.

if the Croats can get one more here in teh next 5-10 minutes, it will be an awesome finish.

Man literally every decision has went against Croatia. Poor guys.

France didn’t need help either... oh well. This Croatian midfield is such a joy to watch... I’d say in terms of international play they’re one of the better units I’ve seen. They owned this match a5 times and the French aren’t bums out there.

I will say this was the least entertaining World Cup since i became a fan (94)... our boys not being there certainly hurt but even beyond that... ‘eh’ about sums this tournament up for me.

It didn't have an iconic moment or anything but I enjoyed it regardless.

My favorite world cup is probably 2010(minus the stupid horns). Italy crashing out, Germany giving Argentina and England a strong pimp hand, and my high school job allowed be to pretty much watch any game I wanted.

2014 was lit almost exclusively because of what Germany did to Brazil. Cold blooded.

Yup. Being a fan of US, Germany, Ireland, and Italy, really a bummer. Even the fringe teams I cheer for like Iceland and Argentina laid an egg. Add the two teams I dislike the most, England and France made the finals... yuck.

France deserves it though. And Croatia played a hell of a WC.

Ha, just sharing my thoughts... and I said I wasn’t pumped for it at all and wasn’t sure if I’d watch.

Hopefully all of our soccer candidates currently concentrating on bowling will refocus efforts to make a 1/4 finals run in 4 years.

We’ll see.

The World Cup of ‘94 will always be my favorite: Home field and a great team.
