France has the best school of football. I will search for a video created by some American outlet for you. Despite the fact that foreigners help them all the time, their school of football has not match.
Their is youtube video somewhere..Their system extends from France..may countries a beneficiaries.
I believe that's where I saw that video but for some reason it landed on my phone.

See what depth can do for a team?? Kante came off and in came Nzonzi, and France still had the momentum... beautiful stuff.

Well, their coach didn't come to the WC to learn.

He has been there before...

He learnt enough between 2012 WC, 2016 WC, Euro Cup...

That's the evolution of this team...
Form is temporary; Class is Permanent!
Liverpool, European Champions 2005.

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

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?

Croatia did very well. It was just one match too far.
Congrats to France.

Nonsense, don't you see what Mbappe was doing on wings and killing folks with pace thru the middle.

Deschamps would have used our pace to kill teams from the wings.

You should be very proud of your team. Croatia's warrior mentality won fans around the world. I have no doubt Croatia will be back on this stage sooner rather than later.

Bravo Croatia
