Doesn't change one bit the fact that was the easiest group to go through

 

Spoiler

+ it's not like I'm rooting against Uruguay. Any win for non-european nations keep the tournament more exciting IMO.

Nothink is enought in sport  

 

For a small country like us, it is enough to be European Champions at least for more two years 

 

And at least Ronaldo can retire having won at least one major championship with his national team, which is nice

Uruguay didn't do very much in 2nd half, were mainly parking the bus and trying to counter-attack (which didn't work really well). Not that impressed by them today.

Perfect results for me, although i am surprised that France had to fight so much (based on the scoreline, i couldn't watch anything today). Mbappe probably was a lock to win best young player before the tournament started and now there can't be anyone who doesn't agree about that. Golden boot should be between Kane and Lukaku.

france with those kind of players should dominate against every team.why dont they,its a mistery too me

They have great depth, but people shouldn't act as if France is heads and shoulders above every other team. Tolisso doesn't even play for Bayern and Pavard plays for Stuttgart + he isn't even a right back. In my opinion France has too many similar midfielders (only box-to-box players) and noone like Kroos, Modric or someone else who can control a game.

¡Uruguay nomás! Great match and great performance.

In the end Uruguay were better at being Portugal then Portugal were.

I wonder when was the last time that a lead changed 3 times during a WC match?

 

Maybe something for @hckosice to look for.

Brazil vs. Germany in 2014?
