Meanwhile in Ireland, my County (Kerry - my avatar is their jersey) face off against Galway in the Gaelic Football All Ireland quarter final today. The game throws in at 4pm in a direct clash with the France-Croatia match. Sadly FIFA did not see fit to change the time of the World Cup Final to prevent this clash from happening.
Congrats to France. Croatia were unlucky today - first two French goals were the results of -shall we say - questionable refereeing. However the best team in the tournament as a whole won.
I was hoping for some good celebratory food stuffs but that won't be happening now ... unless they have leftovers from a party that won't be so festive
but dang
2nd place
that is good

@lmur,
The referee made mistakes both ways, eg in first half there was no hand ball by Giroud, and the first Croatian goal was on a free kick that shouldn't have been.
And the hand ball by Croatia in the surface, that was bound to be a penalty.
He needs to savour it while it lasts. Already pundits on the BBC were criticising his tactics re substitutions. They agreed he would stay in place until the Euros but thought he should be changed before the next WC.
I think we should stick with him, constantly changing managers does no good at all. And I should know being a Saints supporter.
