[Applause] and here is the planet's Ultimate Game the final of the 21st football World Cup France to ReDiscover Glory's past Croatia to inscribe a new name on the trophy throughout this most unpredictable of competitions nobody really knows here is perisic star of Croatia's semi-final Vito who scored so importantly in the quarterfinal rakitic whose penalties have been short and lovren amongst the competitions outstanding Defenders katitch landed at manjukich forced Away by Varan and in history to win the World Cup both as a player and a coach keep company therefore with Mario zagalo and Franz beckenbauer his job in the 1998 final not dissimilar from that played today by Angola kante he and Christian Karen Burr sir fell by Modric on on TT here and Christian karenberg did a great job with Leonardo and Rivaldo in that famous game [Applause] um TT France's semi-final match winner at Tweedy Giroud shot on target having played well over 400 minutes at this world cup leader across for stridage who was perhaps the one minor injury doubt concerning Croatia coming up to this final he's able to clear spinach and then there's what a four in the French Squad two have started every game ran into Modric has a free kick [Applause] [Applause] it away from pavar by an eager perisic who could run at the Run having bypassed him found on TT reinforcing certainly very quickly developed into the old firm for France and Central defense for group game compembe did get a run out but uh essentially those two have been Inseparable when it's mattered Papi foreign [Applause] [Applause] ribbage and then they're stuck tight but for shulko has their position from which he can cross it required urgent attention from Wrath of Iran Modric o France will be all too aware of the danger posed by uh Croatia's adventurous fullbacks been a feature throughout the competition [Applause] and it is more or less self-evident given the type of knockout phase Croatia have had that the stamina in their team is formidable I can't say MTT had a suggestion of tiredness after three periods of extra time if anything has been a source of incentive as that kodalic and his team as if to defy physics defy fatigue just proved that they really can run and run for their Nation [Applause] let's say from between the center halves much debated relatively conservative position that uh Deshawn's formation requires him to take up provides some of his attacking Instinct for the good of the team has done so uncomplainingly folk to have complained of French purists or some would say fantasists who would have preferred to see a more adventurous approach but their complaints will be mute a few colorist is lifting the trophy at the end of the evening [Applause] [Applause] stretch we passed Paul Pogba [Applause] brackets clever and stridage firmly dealt with at a very close quarters by Killian and bappy who's not just flare and forward Force that is required to do his dirty work for the team as well it's a really important tackle [Applause] Modric with the corner Therese didn't get there but Giroud got plenty on his header say drove it against rakitic last touch off the Frenchman Croatia's throw brezovic rakitic perisic attacking it away well by pavar U for Pogba who goes over the outstretched toe of ante rabich foreign notwithstanding the unflattering statistics which attach themselves to Olivier Giroud still wants him in the side no friend [Applause] can't take I'm sure he wanted the ball there and pressovich took it from him the Selco rakitic Modric width again provided by strinage perisic away without complication by mutiti the reason for Croatian uplift over the course of the first 10 minutes 10 relatively eventless minutes but a period during the majority of which the ball has been in French territory brosovich lovren muldrich Michelle coat s solco Modric perisic we've just got away thank you he's had a terrific World Cup Ivan perisic stays with uh inter after many successful years in German football with barissa Dortmund and Wolfsburg against Iceland at the end of The Knockout stage and then that so crucial breakthrough goal equalizer against England here on Wednesday night and then he hit the post sweetie let it roll Hernandez revic's got across [Applause] [Applause] ing foreign what was your goal of the tournament was it his speed would have hit that boss against Argentina [Music] swing and spin and swerve loving away down by manjukich back by matuidi and Andes Griezmann [Applause] MTT [Applause] under the reach of Europe [Applause] well there they are the two top men The Host and uh his partner in staging this competition the president of FIFA and the president of Russia this is Putin and Infantino V VIPs [Applause] and neither can be dissatisfied about how the month has gone first quarter of an hour of the World Cup final though which is uh in keeping with uh recent such matches and a couple of slow burners in a row two one Mills goal scored in uh extra time who can blame players for a degree of inhibition or an occasions such as this fronts and it's a creative Force really haven't got started at all yet [Applause] that's one Griezmann I've told has touched the ball twice [Applause] but it's the last page that matters not the first and here's perisic with revitch charging through the middle likewise Modric and and TT Got Back finish Vida well foreign has brought it to a halt as a result of An Occurrence off the ball involving uh he's on parisich and then this showing him some sympathy that's how it happened just in the corner of the screen there was a Collision natural coming together of uh full back and wide man no harm mint very little done Modric and on this cold take a treaty for Pogba hey rather over elaborating escaping with something simpler Conte my Tweety here goes some bappy for the first time strainage had to be wary came out to a Giroud we found no path past ribbage but won it back from rakitic [Applause] faran Fernandez shiru Griezmann and Bape Beyond shrinage out by Veda aware that they cannot afford for him to get up ahead of steam little tickle at the back of Griezmann and a free kick against brozovic [Applause] and really the first moment of offensive promises for France there was much but there was enough [Applause] he's been having earned a free kick it's going to take charge of it and golo kante last man back more or less everybody else involved for France [Applause] even pavar there strolling beyond the ball [Applause] [Applause] flicking by Griezmann and flicked on and frauds take the lead in the World Cup final death delivery from Antoine Griezmann and the French hit the front perhaps with assistance from Mario manchukic [Applause] indeed Croatia's Center forward got the touch that mattered defying his keeper and having scored the goal that mattered in the semi-final he scored a painful goal that may matter in the final [Applause] he can only shrug the 12th own goal of the 2018 World Cup has France jumping up and down [Music] foreign [Applause] goal ever to have been scored in a World Cup final and it is debited to Mario manjukich [Applause] whose own goal brought his country [Applause] to this set piece event and who now needs to swallow that indignity and if he can atone for it just as they were in the last 16 just as they were in the quarterfinal just as they were in the semi-final Croatia are behind foreign had its own shot on target that was the only one from a set piece as a result of Conte's Challenge on Modric Croatia have one of those as light rain begins to fall in Moscow sun behind the cloud Croatia temporarily at least beneath the cloud Modric their game changer over a dead ball played in by Modric and over by John McCoy Vida [Applause] whose importance in the opposing penalty area was never more evident and uh in Sochi last weekend in the quarterfinal when he rose to such good effect at the expense of the hosts foreign and win the final as only Italy also at the expense of France in 2006 have done since 1974. [Applause] Rotherham closed down by Giroud who's found guilty of handball [Applause] brozovic [Applause] well and fed on towards some Papi I'm a Tweedy crawled Away by rakitic and ribbage of our nibbled at his heels once more Modric takes charge now poised on the edge of the penalty area where he feels more comfortable that is his natural terrain his habitat [Applause] in by Modric with length on the punch from Laurice and bappy kept it from Modric left it behind and lovren fed manjukich and manchukic fan rakitic and if that had rippled the net we would be talking about one of the great World Cup final goals French unhappy with some of the bumping and boring though papa needs to be careful there his tightness commandjukich [Applause] Griezmann and Andes played by verselco thank you [Applause] [Applause] Peter expected from a Harry and Griezmann the shell coat TT's clearance owned by Giroud away from matridi by brozovic it's the moment but upset you ruined I do understand why nowhere near his hands and he was in [Applause] foreign [Applause] [Applause] who has been here or hereabouts of course before for experiences and Advantage then he surely has it though slapco dulwich has considerable wind in his personal Sail having that taken on the job of managing Croatia only last October having won his Nation round so very very quickly it is worth bearing in mind again that Croatia reached these World Cup finals by the skin of their collected teeth [Applause] the game is shown to France's Angola kante [Applause] just left a little Sly one on him official was keeping up I'm touching racketics together which faded it in Versa appeared round the back manchukic can compete with Pogba came down for Veda and then Paris H one one he has screamed that in Croatia are never behind for long perisic again death delivery from Modric smart run from the fullback good win from the center forward touch back for perisic and you know what's happening then thank you van pericich gave it the works Croatia level [Applause] his third goal of the finals an equalizer in the semi-final and equalizer in the final itself foreign [Applause] [Music] [Applause] do it all again [Applause] foreign [Applause] [Applause] six when they took a lead in Berlin against Italy on that occasion from the penalty spot through zidane and conceded 12 13 minutes later to Marco matarazzi [Applause] foreign [Applause] touch will be feeling a whole lot better about his life now [Applause] Aldrich brosovich [Applause] bit of wind in the Croatian sale now at least a personal cell of Ivan perisic who's found an extra yard situ has now scored six goals in his last 12 tournament games he was amongst them at the last European championships as well indeed at World Cup 2014 and comes to life when the world is watching [Applause] last two World Cup finals have had to wait for extra time until their first goal 2018 we have two goals in the first half Aldrich manjukich rebich e [Applause] we fair to say two goals without either goalkeeper yet having made a substantial save [Applause] and France's bonus corner foreign dangerously Lumbers forward in the company of Iran and Pogba with mbappe on the goalkeeper's toes [Music] [Applause] and by Griezmann Hunter repelled at the near post by parisich the French are screamingham ball the uh referee may feel obliged to take on some advice here VAR has been a feature from first to last I need a different angle than that one if he sees that he's got a call to make it certainly strikes the hand of perisic it's now a matter of interpretation [Applause] deliberate or otherwise [Applause] the VAR check is being carried out the first ever in a World Cup final and the referee is choosing to look himself and the world will be split here truly this is a matter of opinion ball and hand Collide no question deliberate or not deliberate the world is waiting for one Argentine interpretation you'll know what you think right now there is one man who matters foreign [Applause] at it with his foot that was clearly the intention he would not have wanted to handle that handle he did what is the verdict oh one more look one more look [Applause] put yourself in his boots what a call to have to make [Applause] he's given a penalty penalty for France in the World Cup final as a result of VAR [Applause] truly this is a 21st century game a game that has moved into a new age perisic having scored for Croatia is now their Fall Guy and subsuch who has starred from the sport for Croatia is now going to go eyeball to eyeball from 12 yards again for presidents and prime ministers these moments are as nervous as they are for those who have paid to be behind the goal [Applause] the debate goes on but he's made his mind up Antoine Griezmann so often so cool as Moscow has embraced by a clap of thunder and a little shaft of lightning on a stormy stormy day Griezmann who stepped up to the spot for the first big VAR call of the tournament against Australia and Kazan a lifetime ago is going to step up again France have never lost when Antoine Griezmann has scored [Applause] [Applause] foreign [Applause] and historical a goal of its age of its generation but a penalty is a penalty in any year and Antoine Griezmann Specializes they lost their lead for 10 minutes barely that but as a result of Antoine griezmann's outstretched left hand Antoine of Evan perisich's outstretched left hand Antoine Griezmann well it's given this opportunity to stroke them back in front [Applause] the fifth World Cup final penalty but the first like that [Applause] so Croatia have to do it again [Applause] first half of the World Cup final includes an own goal a splendid equalizer and then a VAR penalty [Applause] stridage another bolt of lightning perisic plays it in and ribbage couldn't wrap his foot around it he's been from Bape search around stridage that place callback Veda didn't get there but lovren did rosovich away 's looking to turn around Hernandez we've got a foot in and conceded a free kick and a yellow card [Music] there's a Aldrich lovren for Selco rebich out again by Hernandez the last four minutes of the first half though uh one imagines there'll be quite a chunk of stoppage time Modric o the Tweety's challenge Francis throw [Applause] that's the reason for uh Lucas Hernandez is Yellow Card [Applause] couldn't get close enough to the ball rakitic caught up by Pogba Away by pavar will reach it before mbappe [Applause] had three goals in a World Cup final since 1974. in the first half [Applause] my historical memory serves me right that involved a big penalty call or two from the English referee jack Taylor Holland against West Germany very early in the game [Applause] Aldrich with a Croatian free kick [Applause] the weather's closing in [Applause] Northridge plays it in and Paris it shut What It Away by pavar thumped back in by lovren who has to settle for a corner [Applause] of our only partially clear the offering against Pogba who kept his hands well out of the way [Applause] thank you like a touch takes and it was flipped on at the near post by rabbit and much rather nervously behind for another corner [Applause] rakitic once more cleared by Giroud last man back is for sulco let's have a man down [Applause] here's ribbage away from pavar held up by Pogba who watches it out and TT is the injured party he was all Fallen upon rather nationally by Diane lothric not spitefully but uh nastily that was not a good angle that his leg was at [Applause] and then dropped on him okay 10 ton weight that was 20 seconds of the half and at the moment the intention is for three minutes additional time so that's a number which under these circumstances could of course grow yeah illustration of that intention France will want and TC to be able to come back on and defend this corner sure they'll get their way so in stoppage time France and man lights in by rakitic and feda didn't time his jump she's a great relief for the French who can restore their Quorum now [Applause] her team has had a half-time lead in the World Cup final since France in 1998 that's how tight it tends to be occasion Zinedine Zidane scored twice once actually around about now in first half stoppage time two headers Varan a Tweedy Pogba number two to one perisic plays it early found by manjukic sorted out for Loris by Hernandez [Applause] [Music] the short coat I'm back by Anand this who's kept on running and has him bappy ahead of him here pass from Bape is just too strong the purpose from the left or back and I have to raise his troops again he's done it so often in this competition but expects nothing less the masters of Victory from behind Croatia The Knockout stage of this World Cup there to lift the World Cup they're going to have to put off the trick one more time but Selco didn't drop for perisic shrinage salon and Bape that'll probably see us through to the break [Applause] [Applause] well what a curious game of football in any context a game indeed to this point which will launch a million debates most of them around Evan perisic not about his splendidly hit equalizer but about his handling offense which via VAR led to griezmann's penalty by which France re-established the lead that they had originally taken via manjukich's 18th minute own goal the World Cup final at half time in Moscow stands at France to Croatia one [Applause] well when the history of this World Cup is written much of it will concern late goals dramatic goals brilliant goals but there will certainly be a chapter or two for own goals and indeed goals from penalties and in that regard this final is rather summed up the whole competition 12th phone goal of the competition the 29th penalty 22 of them stuck away and France have a one goal advantage to carry into the second half of match 64. I'm TT Aken off it by over schelco moved on by Modric then rakitic a lot of space for revitch where selco's got ahead of him if a soccer has delivered and Laurice fell on it Pogba pavar Pogba Hava shiru Griezmann made without complication by super sich it's a tournament meeting of these two Nations the first oft referred to in recent days the semi-final of 1998 which France won to one courtesy of for Lillian turram they last meted a major event in the Portugal Euro 2004 and through a group game to all that game also included an own goal and a penalty you go two-door helped France Take the Lead but Milan scored the equalizer from the spot there's rakitic and revitch and Maurice was at full stretch he has not been overemployed oh my goodness me he sprung to life when called upon I had applied a very important fingertip offered him by Modric couldn't fall for Veda and revitz touched it behind thank you caught it beautifully cleanly uh anti-ribbage and it was certainly Bound for goal to Laurice not got elastic and got big [Applause] certainly one of the candidates for the Golden Glove it's not decided statistically but I uh clean sheets and the like but uh by a judgment on performance and actually both goalkeepers on the show today would consider themselves to have a shout superstitch not least for all his uh penalty heroics brosovich oh that is a Super Bowl in Laurice had to read it in the very close company of Ivan parisich for selcoat and TT Pogba taken back by strinage for rand's been caught in possession by manjukich it's Mario manchukic who couldn't poke it through for perisic nobody happier about that than Rapha Varan [Applause] Aldrich a 3D chord on it by uh Luca Modric who's done enough to win Croatia another corner hacking the bulk of their most vociferous support in this second half and at least to start with lifted by them and Modric out by Griezmann versalco seen a couple of those of this World Cup pavar scored one of them nacho for Spain way back but it didn't work out for the soul coat there was a varan's touch which took it away from perisician took it just close enough to Laurice who was admirably composed [Applause] Modric good start to the half of Croatia manjukich revic sturdy tackle from TT brosovich CT away again [Applause] lordrich rosovich sweeper can't escape folks uh our penned in here [Applause] once more Okay carry it out and here's manchukic how far up to jira it's a lovely touch from him and they'll pop up and pokers played it early for mbappe who can really worry Vida here this is Killian mbappe and Super Six comes to thwart him give him half a yard and he's away Modric [Applause] I'm afraid the referee's having to stop the game here because uh of an intruder to whom we will attempt not to offer the oxygen of publicity more than one Intruder actually three or four of them here it's safe to say have made idiots of themselves in front of the world kylian mbappe was seeking to make a hero of himself in front of the world he had dominicoy Vita worried it's another really a depth piece of goalkeeping from Daniel silvasich first time he's really had the opportunity to turn on the afterburners and terrify a Defender so this Edge stood up well you're okay to have the first substitution of the final it's uh interesting France are going to throw on Stephen and zonzi for whom at the moment it is not quite clear but uh that's a Midfield enforcer we're going to throw into the piece how far's clearance here's rakitic Maurice was not short and the pressure from manjukich [Applause] it's a corner and we've said discomforted by the angle and flight of this cross when she catch borderline offside [Applause] and indeed after a consultation the referee is giving a free kick four offside as France make the change and it is a like for like whether the normally excellent the golo kante has a problem only they he will know but uh this place is going to go here to Stephen and Son see 15 of Sevilla in Spain a man who played no part in the qualifying campaign at all who started just once at this competition and that was in the almost meaningless game against Denmark the only goalless game of the World Cup which was in this Stadium and there's Antonio's first touch it's not a bad one Griezmann a Tweety nowhere around the sulco [Applause] or can only suppose that Angola kante did have a fitness issue because to this point he was one of two in the French team who had played every minute of the competition in that regard only Wrath of Iran remains let's put him in by strinage perisic rakitic Modric the sulco Modric [Applause] and TC's challenge was clean and Griezmann shows a clean pair of heels to all but Vida [Applause] who had his best is a beast of a Defender sure is flick Griezmann Pogba shake it off it here's Modric on early for rebbitch Cena came home TT Pogba now space ahead of pavar and mbappe ahead of pabar Giroud through the middle I'm happy from him by brozovic and jokic far from behind by Giroud [Applause] heritage around rubbish and this time there is no competition for Uber loris it's only a couple of World Cups since the goalkeeper did just did last lift the trophy Cassius in the South Africa and he was just more than half an hour potentially from doing so but uh of no team could it more readily be said than Croatia that it's not over till it's over ribbage heritage retreat search too heavy for manjukish what is bound to observe that this is a very very similar Dynamic to the semi-final when uh England reached half time passing themselves on the back for the way they've done against uh the croatians as Mr Infantino signs a ball which will no doubt sell for gazillions in weeks to come but Croatia came out in the second half and taughting them a little bit of a lesson have certainly had the better of France up to now here there is some batting taking on stridage Griezmann Pogba Pogba for France and possibly now the world foreign [Applause] who has come to the party and just might just might have won it [Music] [Applause] once more mbappe had the key to the door once he was on the ball Croatia were uneasy Griezmann chuckled Pogba right foot pumper left foot 3-1 France foreign [Applause] [Applause] it is a fair way back from here a big player who needed a big tournament for a huge and passionate football nation which is preparing for party the day after Bastille Day they probably haven't cleared up the chance of Lisa from last night and they may be half an hour away from going again [Applause] [Applause] Pogba for whom that image will last forever unless Croatia should come up with something extraordinary now Pogba match weedy and chiro and taken off griezmann's toe by retreating brozovic [Applause] France now have momentum and belief and freedom Griezmann was waiting for the spectacular well never mind own goals and penalties the World Cup final has been blessed by a special goal now and France are hungry for more and Griezmann takes brezovich away Griezmann again prepared to let it roll pavar by spinach and then by Veda foreign [Applause] yeah perisic and leave it out by Pogba who will do everything now to protect his picture in the headlines and then there's winter ground no foul here's Modric [Applause] Vita [Applause] well from [Applause] coming up over sulco have our clear again Modric for what it means to this French team six of whom began the European Championship final two years ago in their own country and went flat on the night rebbitch Challenge from Young pavar who's come onto the scene since then look forward towards Giroud out by Veda pounced upon by matuidi France have an extra man here Griezmann tonight the chance to put him back away and zonzi Pogba [Applause] Hernandez twisting away from anjukich running it for Selco here's oh my word teenage kicks the ultimate Teenage kick the boy with the world at his feet Killian unbappe there ain't no stopping him now foreign age World Cup final goal since Pele himself [Applause] sirific work for Hernandez um Pape had only one thought and you knew he would execute think of the life ahead of this kid only the third teenager ever to start a World Cup final the second teenager to score at one he keeps company with Pele and like the greatest of all time he is surely now going to be a World Cup winner and France supposedly conservative France sometimes dull within themselves France or so they say France have scored four at the World Cup final foreign which no one since pele's Brazil in 1970 have done well I tell you what if Croatia are to win the World Cup we have some 25 minutes ahead of us it would be unprecedented safe to say thank you they've come from one behind more times than we can keep count off but from three behind we're 25 minutes left in a World Cup final even they surely even they are struggling to believe [Applause] since 1982 and the very famous Marco tardelli strike there hadn't been a World Cup final goal from outside the penalty area they have now been two in a Trice [Applause] thank you [Applause] and there goes and zombie got a trip from Modric for whom sadly because my word he's been special at this tournament sadly it looks as though it's going to end in tears one can hardly berate him for it but as it happens he hasn't had charge of this game in the way he's had charge of others in by Pogba down by Giroud oh Laurice was caught on it by Matt Duke and Croatia have a little sniff you can't only apologize hold your hands up in front of the world Laurice for the moment of Madness manchukic perhaps a moment of redemption [Applause] he has scored at both ends in a World Cup final Maurice offered it to him and this crazy crazy game twists once more [Applause] deep as well as being the first man to score at both ends in a World Cup final and jokic is only the second in any World Cup game or after early brandts in 1978. wherever you're watching in the world I guess if you were able to see it at the time your mind might be casting itself back to the recent Champions League final in Europe where a goalkeeper of Liverpool was embarrassed in a manner not dissimilar then played in by vaselco whatever next whatever next he might win the Golden Glove he ain't gonna win the golden boots because in possession of the ball on the ground you got a Reese had a horrible moment and so France perhaps aren't quite there 4-2 rakitic and by Redditch swung behind [Applause] 4-2 I'm bound to Surf you'll forgive me a moment self-indulgence a scoreline that certainly resonates with the English 1966 and all that it comes in the final which has produced the most goals since that [Applause] Croatia unsurprisingly are sending on another Center forward Andre kramerich of hoffenheim who's only called in the competition so far came at Russia's expense in Sochi in the quarterfinal [Applause] my Tweedy brutovich is down injured and the referee has chosen to stop the game bruised by his own man lovren [Applause] she's asked to give it back [Applause] and all from Maurice Griezmann so you've had some teaching manjukich I think the referee has to stop it which doesn't work kindly for France TT looks to be okay manjukich less Keen to get up and actually that picture illustrates why I think it is fairly clear that manjukich would come off second best [Applause] a really remarkable football match with which to reach the climax of this invariably exciting World Cup and France have another change to make [Applause] it's the withdrawal of Blaise matuidi it's a replacement by uh Coral attack tuliso of Bayern Munich [Music] who began the opening game and began also the quarter final against Uruguay and will get the last quarter of an hour plus of the World Cup final [Applause] young boy from Leon who is on the cusp of fulfilling any young boy's dream [Applause] [Applause] foreign [Applause] jiru dispossessed by brozovic caught on it by Pogba free kit [Applause] as many goals in the 2018 World Cup final as in the last four World Cup finals combined and Croatia need more versus perisic Away by faran jukich who seems to be okay after that Clash of heads with him TT Modric [Applause] premarich McAdam TT at full stretch Griezmann Giroud ran into Croatian traffic [Applause] or selcoat without lamely behind foreign [Applause] eats me up and swallow me moment the goalkeeper's worst nightmare I guess and eventuality which is more likely to come to pass in these days of playing goalkeepers who are encouraged to dribble into pass once in a while it's gonna go wrong Griezmann [Applause] [Applause] by Vida Modric clear of taliso owned up for Kramer rich rakitic carried by Pogba with him by Hernandez Laverne baldrich Aldrich [Applause] [Applause] stretch rakitic the shortcut Modric twisting away from Giroud by Varan rakitich has scraped it wide [Applause] you know they're not done yet they are not quite done yet Croatia score again now and there will be some faint French hearts [Applause] [Applause] suggestion that they should have had a corner out of that [Applause] please have our catches on the ball [Applause] advisorant pleasure route let's have another change to make seeing the bill thick here just a minute or so to play Modric [Applause] acrosovich where Again by Varan transfer and bapo to go and go he does and Vida is in Retreat and lovren is in Retreat and Bape will drive at them and then slither and Croatia can go the other way [Applause] shop are also going to make a change and throw on another sender forward copiazza more Thunder more lightning tense tight sweaty afternoon cramerich shrinage rakitic Challenge on him by Pogba it's coming back via Modric [Applause] Modric van pericich for solco Modric and by lovren I'll play on TT 10 minutes to play one own goal one penalty goal one gift of a goal and three really well the good goals [Applause] it's a World Cup final which is making its mark on the memory it's going to be a goalless World Cup for Olivier shiru valued perhaps more by his coach and its colleagues than by all of France's support but whoever you are it is undeniable that he has given every last half ounce of sweat for the cause and he gives away to Nabil fekir A [Music] change is made by Croatia 2 involving the withdrawal of their left back Ivan Street and the introduction of Marco Piazza in what can only be interpreted as a hell for leather change in by the shellco now part of a back three with perisic plague at left wing back and Piazza operating from the right rakitic kramerich Piazza his first touch wasn't tight enough stretch the circumnavigating the pitch somewhat disconsolately [Applause] so we're 10 minutes to try and make a difference and it got away not by the circle forward Again by Pogba for France cleared by Vida [Applause] rakitic found by Pogba [Applause] and they are more hurriedly on with it than the referee is prepared to permit it's an irritation for perisic who was in behind [Applause] the architecture infuriated and you understand why every second counts for the croats [Applause] thank you [Applause] by rakitic and pounce confidently by herese [Applause] who puts it out so that uh Paul Pogba can receive some treatment a moose clearly interpreted as cynical by the Croatian supporters behind the goal and manjukich had hold each of the other not a lot in that [Applause] certainly no foul by Pogba certainly not a foul on Pogba everybody's okay all of the exercise from a French perspective was to eat up some seconds for soul coat a lot from kosovich perisic rakitic for around got up big enough mbappe flicked it on lover and won it back rakitic Veda still time for Croatia Piazza oh it's a lovely thought supported me for him but solco was not on the same page [Applause] and for all the wonderful work he has done maybe that their medals are silver Not Gold dalich has only lost two previous games as the coach of Croatia so it's only his 14th looking at this shot an 83rd game in charge National Record [Applause] he may have good reason to remember this one thick here [Applause] side down by a rather desperate rakitic [Applause] foreign [Applause] starting to think about the corner flag instead of the goal mind here's fakia he did require of some such a plunging stop let's come off the bench in all seven games now Bill thick here and that's not the first time he's caught the eye [Applause] [Applause] for a circle rakitic and by perisic there's Loris again nobody will be glad to hear the final whistle in France's goalkeeper to The Misfortune that befell him and seemed momentarily to have offered a Croatian route back into it but time is very much on France's side now [Applause] foreign [Applause] if it's going to happen it's going to happen right now Vida kramerich Vida kramerich rakitic why not thank you [Applause] well there perhaps is why not because from that range [Applause] it doesn't often come off always fading away Croatia's hopes are fading away [Applause] one piece of bonus news which is about to hit them though is that the referee is planning five minutes of additional time Kia and zonzi here got away from perisic but not from brozovic [Applause] rakitic driven out towards Piazza Sino que by Hernandez [Applause] crossovich to Pogba who was failed as if it's clouted away
