He learnt enough between 2012 WC, 2016 WC, Euro Cup...
That's the evolution of this team...

...good show from your guys, a tough working class side.mate wrote:France is a worthy champion. On the eye test, for me they were the best team with Brazil. France play a nice brand of football.
And, yes, they stand to keep doing well for a long time to come.
Croatia too will use this momentum. It will inspire a new generation of players. These things are built over decades. We've discovered how to maintain composure and not be overwhelmed by the occasion. It's progress. We've never been to a WC final.
Next time, perhaps we win?
You think they will have a next time, as I read somewhere many don't like Modric and Lovrne in Croatia because of some legal stuff reference to transfer money.

I wanted Nadal and France to lose. Well, I got 1 out of 2. Not bad. Hahahaha

Emmanuel Macron was just 20 years old when France won the world cup in 98
"History shows that this club has had very few strikers like him. I do not know if there has ever been anyone like him before. What I do know is that Barcelona should erect a statue for him. Samuel was a fundamental player here in recent years and was key to all of the titles that the team won."

Even in defeat, Croatia was a class team. A country with such a small population getting to the final
the way they did, showing football sense and sportsmanship till the end was something they should
be proud of.
As for France, they deserve the victory. Now the country have to show class by making sure all French citizens
that have contributed to the country's success are treated with dignity.
Great final!!!

Bravo, Croatia. Fantastic performance throughout the tournament. As Oloye observed, Rakitic was subpar this tournament.

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

I have asked that question.Benedict Iroha wrote:Why are people so obsessed with black players on France....
Africans are basking in the reflected glory, but these boys are FRENCH, not Africans. They were born and bred in France. This victory has nothing to do with Africa (except Cameroon-born Umtiti). We have to win it for ourselves and stop pretending that we can lay claim to the achievements of boys who have never lived in Africa

He can be ULTRA defensive BUT for as long as he is winning, I will celebrate him.zee wrote:Nonsense, don't you see what Mbappe was doing on wings and killing folks with pace thru the middle.Vincent. wrote:If Deschamps coached us, we would kill him for being too defensiveanikulapo wrote:zee wrote:France is the 2nd youngest team after Nigeria....and they came to the WC to learn by winning the DAMN CUP
Give Deschamps Naija talent and ahhhhh never mind
Deschamps would have used our pace to kill teams from the wings.
I will like the SE to be defensive and be winning 4-2! I don't care if the 4 goals were scored by 'OG'

Right now Neymar is way below Mbappe. Neymar did not help his stock with his antics at this world cup. I did not see anything special from Neymar at all. If only Ronaldo had a better cast around him Messi and Neymar would be in hiding now.GREENWHITEGREEN wrote:Hey Neymar, Mbappe is a World Cup winner! Chew on that!
