2018 FIFA World Cup Megathread

[Scottish Socialists]

Scots regard a victory over the English as a far greater triumph than winning the World Cup, didn't you know?

After William Wallace, those victories became scarce.

Still, we can sit down with a haggis and irn bru and celebrate that it didn’t come home.

That Russian band Pussy Riot claimed responsibility for the hooliganism, AP says.

Where are all the claims that Putin's personally violating violating their human rights, that are so prevalent in the western press every time morons such as those get the book thrown at them? Those were some soft tackles, I'm disappointed. Security should've done a better job, and if they're on the field, tackle the shit out of them. If it's ok to arm-bar Salah, it's ok to arm-bar streakers.

I prefer to lose with Belgium than win with France

Pathetic football, pathetic style, pathetic reliance on refereeing decisions, pathetic country.

Awww, someone's so mad that France won, it's so cute.

[Thermodolia]

what's french for "should have been 2-2"

wtf, france didn't surrender after the first goal? World Cup is biased and fake

La France suce des balles et aurait dû perdre

And now this victory is made even sweeter by the salt of the Godon's tears at us easily rekt-ing the team which kicked them out of the game like skrubs.
Ah, vraiment magnifique! And just the day after the Fête Nationale too! ;D

It’s a great day for France

They still would have won in extra time.

No they wouldn't - before Croatia got justifiably demotivated, Croatia had to score a goal for France themselves as a charitable deed, and then their second came from a dodgy refereeing decision. At half time only one goal was scored and that was from Croatia.

[Purpelia]

Did you people even watch the same game I did? Seriously?
We had tense gameplay, lots of good passing, good looking goals, some fantastic goal chances, no controversial judging and just great football overall. We even had a couple really funny moments like that silly mistake that lead to a goal. The only thing lacking was the fact that there were far too many fouls. But even there the game was better than the rest of this kickboxing tournament.

Someone is salty.

The French playing style is obviously a winning one unlike the rest of them. So it’s not really pathetic

France's 2018 World Cup win is as pathetic as Greece's 2004 European Championship win.

That is to say - everyone will remember it as undeserved and a mistake, and will skip the year when talking about winners. That they won is irrelevant, they won in shame.

Yea, but Mbappe and Pogba had those two goals. Without Lloris being a cocky guy, it would have been 4-1

How the hell was that dodgy? It was a classic definition of a handball. Refereeing, with the sole exception of Griezmann's one time dive going unpunished, was quite good. And on that dive, the Croats scored on themselves.

Bwhahahahaha

Hugo Lloris... not being cocky, erm, in what universe does that happen? Gotta admit though - Pogba's goal was superb, and Mbappe's was quite good.

On the contrary. 2018 presented possibly one if the most exciting world cups in history. So many plottwists, so many goals, so many firsts... And lasts. FRANCE winning thus like they have, in such a tense, exciting game is just the feather in the cap.

Well, time for me to utterly lose interest in football for the next 4 years.

[Basran]

Mmmm the triggered tears are making just making the victory sweeter. Notice how none of the xXx_aNgRyBOiZ_xXx are Croatian. Lol

Be sure to ask your family about what football is, to prove you've lost interest in it.

VIVA LA FRANCE! Congratulations on a superb victory. Granted, this victory might not have happened had Croatia not eliminated the powerhouse of Russia on penalties, but still... great job. VIVA LA FRANCE!

"Everyone" meaning in that sentence "an handful of slavs and anglos for who salt is no mere condiment but rather a lifestyle".

Hey, as a Slav, I gotta say - no need to lump us in with the Anglos. It's probably even less than a handful, lol. Most of us aren't salty about it at all. I enjoyed it

What a glorious Championship your nation offered the world, my friend! Truly one for the annals!
