FIFA World Cup 2018
Here are the five talking points from the FIFA World Cup 2018 finale between France and Croatia.

VAR controversy again sparks up

France had sailed to their victory in the second half, but the first half saw a few controversies.

The opening goal of France came from a deflection through Mario Mandzukic. But when the Croatian Striker was about to touch the ball, Paul Pogba was in a slightly offside position.

The penalty for France’s second goal has split the world. Perisic had handled the ball and after replays referee spotted to penalty. This decision has caused a stir amongst fans, but ultimately it is the referee who made the decision and not VAR.
