RUSSIA 2018: FRANCE EDGE OUT CROATIA TO WIN SECOND WORLD CUP TITLE

Date:

Twenty years after winning their first World Cup title, France added a second.

Les Bleus defeated Croatia, 4-2, in a wild affair Sunday that saw its share of controversial calls, a Mario Mandzukic own goal, intermittent thunder and lightning, a pitch invasion in the second half and an unthinkable gaffe by French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

When the dust settled, however, France were victorious behind goals from Antoine Griezmann, Kylian Mbappe and Paul Pogba. Griezmann took home Man of the Match honors.
