In a match that had some debatable incidents, France eventually 'pulled through' against a spirited but unlucky Croatia team (what a "strike" by Perisic!). So the trophy is "coming home" to the country of the creator of the World Cup tourney, Jules Rimet. Re the match? Lotsa goals, some controversy, a "clanger" of a goalie error, a og (the only one ever scored in a World Cup final) and good, all round entertainment! That's another World Cup tourney "done n dusted" for another 4 years - correction: 4.5 years as Quatar 2022 is programmed to start in November. Also well done Russia and President Putin for organising and presenting such a successful and entertaining WC tourney for many a long year!
