A deserved win for France, but I really wanted Croatia to steal it.

Have to say that I wasn't very impressed with France, they've got some outstanding players but I don't really rate them as a team but I guess that's largely down to the manager. If they played again next week there's a good 5 or 6 teams that would be in with a shout of beating them. And will never get over the fact that Giroud will forever have a WC winners medal.

I think in reality this France team would beat the last couple of champions very easily. Its just that all the 'smaller' teams have upped their game to such an extent that every game is tough now, and you gotta make it through and be much steelier.
France beat Argentina, Uruguay, Belgium and Croatia - its not like they had a soft team they could go out and humiliate.
