2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia (Maidenfans WC Pool inside)

[Forostar]

The effective French did it. A couple of good moments secured the title.


Much bigger respect for Croatia, the better football nation. Respect !!!

Congratulations to Croatian Maidenheads!
Честитке! Опасна екипа, срчана и надасве неспорног квалитета.

Kudos to Croatia for their overall performance in the tournament. Congrats to @Zare and @frus.
Oh, and to @Black Bart, of course.

Meh... Bummer. It looks to me like France gained the foundation for this win at their most boring. Not sure they deserved the early lead and who knows what would happen if the first half didn't end like this.

I'm not gonna prettend I'm an expert, but IMO Croatia showed great, exciting football, while France seemed pretty dull for the most part.

 

[Forostar]

23 ball contacts in the penalty area for the Croatians in the first half. 4 for the French (2 goals).

Yikes, I almost forgot! Congrats to our football expert @Perun.

Yikes, I almost forgot! Congrats to our football expert @Perun.

Thanks! Quite fitting, considering how bizarre this tournament was.

Third straight World Cup where I correctly picked the winner prior to the tournament.

The best team won.

 

[Forostar]

Finally that damn cup. Let's get this over with.

Infantilo enters with his big buddy.

 

[Forostar]

And now the best team. Croatia!

Funnily enough, Vida faced Putin and not only survived, but got away with a medal.

Well played. If nothing else, I have someone to call a favourite footballer now.

 

[Ariana]

Who?

 

[Saapanael]

Luka the Modric.

FFS. GG France.

What did win them the WC if you ask me? Umtiti and Varane finally working great together and scoring some important goals.

 

[The Flash]

Meanwhile the social media community here is giving France shit for "winning with Africans".

 

[Brigantium]

Jeez. And not little white blokes with berets and dodgy taches and onions around their necks?

 

[The Flash]

In the minds of most people here, citizenship and ethnicity are entertwined. So they can't wrap their heads around the fact that Kylian Mbappé may identify as French and French people may recognize him as French.

And then you have people who act like Mbappé plays for France because he's forced to do so.
