The news story is about the violence and riots in France, not the game itself.
Only one commenter (ari gold) refers to the subject.

At best Croatia was a mediocre team. Barely qualified - don't forget, needed the extra playoff games to get into the WC. Every game after the groups stage was OT and penalty kicks which they were LUCKY enough to win - with the help of FIFA, and an easy bracket. If it wasn't for their strong midfield, they wouldn't of made it into the WC. Forwards and backs are at best mediocre, as well as a so-so goalie. They have their chances/odds at the next WC Qatar at a meager 60:1. This makes sense since the midfielders will be gone without anyone in the pipeline to fill the gaps. Serbia, however, will be a powerhouse going into Qatar. A bunch of young talent now and coming up - don't forget, they were the U-20 World Cup champions in 2015. I might place a $1,000 bet on them to wing the next Cup - the odds are 80:1 presently.

From Mir: "I hear a little jealousy in your post."

Not at all Mir. I'm just taking the opportunity to gloat a bit as you would if you had something to gloat about. But certainly no jealously on my part.

And your comment about Djokovic being a true sportsman is accurate, but I wonder how you'd feel about him if he had worn his 'Kosovo je Srbija' tee shirt as he has in the past.

Let's face it Mir, you're not on a Serb site to promote good relations. I've read your comments before and you display your disdain Serbs every chance you get. Now you try to portray yourself as some tolerant individual. If you were honest, you'd admit that you wanted Djokovic to lose as did the majority of the Croat nation. At least I'm honest with my comments. Try it sometime.

Kosovo-ization of France. Import a large number of people who take welfare with one hand and disrespect the country they live in with the other. One day, it will reach breaking point. There will be many "Kosovo's" to spring up throughout Western Europe in most of our lifetimes.

500k on the Ban Jelacic Trg celebrating without incident. The world celebrating Croatia today! I know it hurts you but too bad. “Hrvatska”!!!!!

Congrats to Djokovic. We thank him for being a true Sportsman.

LOL! Talk about sore loser, you've obviously never been to Serbia. I don't understand you guys, both sides I was supporting won and I'm happy, that's it. Congratulations to France and Djokovic (Serbia). Two great sporting events in one weekend.

pre 5 godina

firstly... france played better than croatia.
they won, they outscored and out played croatia.
controlling the ball for 70% does not mean you outplay at team.
hitting the target 3 times in a game that you have given up 4 goals in means you've been outplayed.
perhaps the croatian team played with more elegance, but who cares. did it lead to anything?
and regarding the goals... all goals, were as legit as all others.
subasic played admirably, but didn't have a chance on any of the 4 goals.
croatia showed the world that a marvelous generation can go far, and france showed the world that a well organized team will win it in the end.

I agree, congratulations to Croatia on a great run and playing great elegant football, enjoyable to watch. They were the better team by far, but France kept advancing with the same strategy, counter attacks and playing possum. Subasic was obviously injured and should have stopped two of the goals. Perisic was on fire and Modric is A phenomena, once in a life time you see a player like that, he brought back great memories of Dragan Stojkovic who both had similar styles with great lateral movement. If Yugoslavia was together, they would be advancing deep into major tournaments consistently, imagine adding Mitrovic, Matic and Shaqiri to a Yugoslav squad among others.

A great sports weekend for Serbia: Novak Djokovic wins Wimbledon and returns to the highest echelon of the tennis world while Croatia loses the world cup and is once again relegated to 'little brother' status vis a vi Serbia. How painful it must have been for the Croats on this board, along with their new best friends, the Albanians, to watch Djokovic dismantle his opponent for the Wimbledon trophy and then minutes later watch France dismantle Lijepa Nasa! But I guess you guys are used to the feeling, right? Not long ago, in the 2016 Olympics, Serbia destroyed Croatia in basketball and water polo. It's easy to understand why Croats have this age-old inferiority complex toward Serbs. Don't worry though, there's always next time, right? Can't wait. Enjoy! GO SERBIA AND DJOKOVIC!

Listen guys, I have to give credit to Croatia for reaching the finals just like Anderson did at Wimbledon but I have to say, watching both games, the losers got demolished. It seems they were in a much lower class.

As a Serb, I'm happy with the results as the winners were the ones I was supporting. I was surrounded by French people and the atmosphere was absolutely amazing.

You albanians have an amazing ability to take credit for someone elses aheivements. Where is Kosovo and albania in sports? If Shakiri and co are such big albanians why didnt they play for their native Kosovo or Albania instead? I know why because albanians suck at sports. Besides Serbia lost thanks to a corrupt german referee who should have given Serbia a penalty.

They have their chances/odds at the next WC Qatar at a meager 60:1. This makes sense since the midfielders will be gone without anyone in the pipeline to fill the gaps. Serbia, however, will be a powerhouse going into Qatar. A bunch of young talent now and coming up - don't forget, they were the U-20 World Cup champions in 2015. I might place a $1,000 bet on them to wing the next Cup - the odds are 80:1 presently.

I agree, congratulations to Croatia on a great run and playing great elegant football, enjoyable to watch. They were the better team by far, but France kept advancing with the same strategy, counter attacks and playing possum. Subasic was obviously injured and should have stopped two of the goals. Perisic was on fire and Modric is A phenomena, once in a life time you see a player like that, he brought back great memories of Dragan Stojkovic who both had similar styles with great lateral movement. If Yugoslavia was together, they would be advancing deep into major tournaments consistently, imagine adding Mitrovic, Matic and Shaqiri to a Yugoslav squad among others.

@ Jugoslavija - Politics aside, very well said! It would have been nice to see a team from the Balkans finally punch thru, but nevertheless, an absolute awesome run...the boys can play!

I hear a little jealousy in your post. We have a saying for ignorant people like you “neka pati, ko ga smeta”

500k on the Ban Jelacic Trg celebrating without incident. The world celebrating Croatia today! I know it hurts you but too bad. “Hrvatska”!!!!!

Congrats to Djokovic. We thank him for being a true Sportsman.

Kosovo-ization of France. Import a large number of people who take welfare with one hand and disrespect the country they live in with the other. One day, it will reach breaking point. There will be many "Kosovo's" to spring up throughout Western Europe in most of our lifetimes.

From Mir: "I hear a little jealousy in your post."

Not at all Mir. I'm just taking the opportunity to gloat a bit as you would if you had something to gloat about. But certainly no jealously on my part.

And your comment about Djokovic being a true sportsman is accurate, but I wonder how you'd feel about him if he had worn his 'Kosovo je Srbija' tee shirt as he has in the past.

Let's face it Mir, you're not on a Serb site to promote good relations. I've read your comments before and you display your disdain Serbs every chance you get. Now you try to portray yourself as some tolerant individual. If you were honest, you'd admit that you wanted Djokovic to lose as did the majority of the Croat nation. At least I'm honest with my comments. Try it sometime.

???,
Those weren’t Albanians, from what I was told by my Albanian friends, they were from the Serb and Greek minorities living in Tirana who were fighting over free cake.

The news story is about the violence and riots in France, not the game itself.
Only one commenter (ari gold) refers to the subject.

What the French people throw away as garbage would be considered a feast by the people of Serbia.

LOL! Talk about sore loser, you've obviously never been to Serbia. I don't understand you guys, both sides I was supporting won and I'm happy, that's it. Congratulations to France and Djokovic (Serbia). Two great sporting events in one weekend.
