Too bad the referee is partial for france.

Sorry??????? I think he is a great referee and he is impartial.
Sorry!! I dont
Go Crotia

It's ok!
I know him very well from my local tournament!
When corriecas dares to say that he was in favour of France is strictly nonsense and ridiculous.
Croatia made many fouls with some agressivity and they were not blamed while France got 2 yellow cards.
Well, the free kick that lead to goal #1 was nothing. The penalty decision was dubious.
Very important decisions that went in favour of France, imo.
France deserved the title for their cynicism, professionalism and efficiency, though. Congrats, France!
What's going on guys ?
Is it a Scandinavian riot against France ?
Cynicism is on your side.
It's sad to see so much Bad faith and hatred.

I'm afraid you are wrong here, Jpasc95. But I guess it's provincialism. Happens to us all. A majority of experts thinks that the penalty was wrongly given. It's a pity that it was so decisive for the game. The Croatian goalie was remarkably bad in this game. Did he even make one save in the whole game? He wasn't near on any of the goals. And the French goalie did an own goal. Remarkable in a WC final.
Provincialism ?
I'm afraid you did not watch properly. It is really bad faith not to admit there was penalty.
Are you a friend of corriecas ?
you seem to be exasperated like him that France won.
I'm sorry but you're gonna have to deal with it
sorry but I don't agree with you for the penalty.Quote

I'm french and think there was no penalty. Ball is going to hand. The player had no time to avoid this situation.
For me Croatia and Belgium made a better football than France. Griezmann said that, no matter the way they win, the most important is to win...

About the VAR (Video Assistant Referee) I tend to agree with Blatter; who criticizes Infantino on this. You shouldn't introduce such a complex new system in a World Cup. Especially since no one has worked out methods on when to use it. I'm afraid the penalty in the final was an example of that. In my view the VAR should only be used in certain situations. Such as to decide whether the ball was over the line or not. Like in ice-hockey.
no doubt, it's a significant improvementQuote

VAR has been officially introduced and widely experimented last year in the Italian Serie A, that is one of the main tournament in Europe.
Though there has been a handful of cases in which it has given off to some doubtful decisions and arguments, it has been almost unanimously considered as a wide improvement having
1) given penealties that would have been previously gone unfairly denied
2) denied penalties that would have been previously gone unfairly granted
3) given goals that would have been previously gone unfairly denied for mistake in judging off side
4) deniedgoals that would have been previously gone unfairly granted for mistakes in judging off side position
5) sanctioned with red card unnoticed unfair play
