Worth noting that France was deeply unlucky. Virus hit the team just before the final. Benzema and Pogba missing. And Deschamps made some questionable decisions in my view.

And Mbappe still showed up and put in one of the most heroic performances I’ve ever seen in sports, basically carrying the entire team. Really looking forward to watching his career.

MBappe did carry his weight fully, despite his status, youth and the usual pressure of a WC final. It was a honourable defeat.

Surely the team was decimated, such is life.

Mbappe has such an insane future if he keeps it up. He could've won his 2nd worldcup and he's only 23 years old, and has already scored more goals than almost anyone in a WC, while almost entirely carrying his team. I'm glad France lost, because they have the potential to be completely dominant for another 10 years, and that's even without mbappe.

MBappe scored the most goals in the WC final history (4), yet it wasn't enough.

Benzema could have (should have) been a sub in the final - they even took Giroud out early! But in true French fashion they couldn’t get over their drama.

Still it let Mbappe shine and put on a legendary show

Also, that foul on Di Maria in the penalty box wasn't.
