The 24-year-old did whatever it takes to win a man match. He tried his best. Second player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final and win the Golden Boot. After trailing 2-0, Mbappe made it 2-2 just one minute later. After falling behind 3-2 in extra time, Mbappe equalized again at 3-3. The final match at Qatar World Cup 2022 was the best of the century. After thousands of attempts, Mbappe's team France lost to fate. Although they lost, they left the field with their heads held high.  Even though messi and argentina won the 2022 world cup, we have to appreciate the appearance of mbappe and france in this final match, it was beyond expectations that the match which i thought argentina had definitely won since the early rounds, everything was equalized by this young boy and even him recorded a hat trick in this match. It really doesn't make sense the number of times people scream for goals that are created. Indeed this is the best world cup match of all time, everything is beyond reason. I don't know if it was the best World Cup final match of all time but it was definitely a pleasure to watch. At least for someone who wasn't an Argentina or France fan. Their fans probably pulled all their hair out but for the rest of us it was a great game in which France managed to come back two times, but Argentina was better in penalties. Overall I think that Argentina deserved the gold medal because they really showed great performance in the World Cup. |

The position from which Morocco has come from the semi -finals is worthy of praise. However, it can be said that they are a good team. Playing in the semifinals in the World Cup is nothing less especially for Morocca. I believe they were far behind the courage to play with their big teams and the confidence they needed. If they can maintain this continuity of their game and able to grow their confidence, then Morocco can win the world cup in the future. It can be considered a big problem for few teams who play well but lag behind for experience.
Everyone expected Morocco to be eliminated from the first round. But to everyone's surprise, Morocco qualified for the knockout round as group champions. Morocco's attack was not strong. However, Morocco's performance was stable. The coach's match strategy was excellent. Also their defense was very strong. If Morocco's attack had been stronger, they would probably have been able to qualify for the finals as well. Both Morocco and Croatia fighting for the bronze medal shows how strong was the group where both of them started the World Cup journey. I agree that everyone thought that Belgium and Croatia would qualify for the knockout stage but Belgium underperformed while Morocco played great defensively. I can't believe that no one managed to score a goal against them until the semi final game! They only concede an autogoal against Canada. That's really an impressive achievement. |

Croatia's second goal seemed to be an accident, that the player actually wanted to pass his partner, but the player's foot deviated towards the goal and chipped the ball, in the end the ball flew high towards the goalkeeper in the left corner of the goalkeeper, I don't think that goal was a mistake, the scorer of the goal intentionally put the ball at that corner knowing the keeper wasn't in a good position to stop the ball. You can see him bending his body as he kicks the ball so he can get enough curve on th ball. The goal was beautiful to watch, Croatia played very well in that game and were determined to win it. Morocco didn't show me much fight, I taught they were going to win Croatia due to their defense record but they have just let four goals in, in their last two matches after going 5 games without conceding any goal form the opponent. Croatia would be disappointed in their world cup run, last tournament they were the runner up and now the third position. This means they drop rank instead of progressing. I know they would had thought they can go all the way this time around to win the tournament and that was what they were aiming for. Congratulations to them though on making it this far, the cash prize for third position is also fair and will go along way in developing football in Croatia. The players should hold their head high because they surprised the world once again. That goal wasn't an accident. As I'm from Croatia where Orsic is playing im Dinamo Zagreb, I know that this kind of goals are his specialty. He scored similar goals to Tottenham and some other clubs in the Champions League. He is a very good player and it's a shame that he didn't find some club in the top European league few years ago. He is not that old yet but I'm sure he would develop to a better player if he had found an European team to play in some bigger league than Croatian HNL. |

I wish Modric would not leave the national team after this match but we can't expect too much.
/snip
Modric said in the interview just after the game that he will play for the national team in the final four of the UEFA Nations League. He said that since he was a part of the team that qualified for the final four, it makes sense to finish that competition too. I agree with him and I think that he will say goodbye to the national team after the UEFA Nations League. |

The big game is between Frances the defending champions and Argentina, I guess the 2022 world cup is gradually coming to an end.
Yeah, too bad it's coming to an end. It was really a pleasure to watch all the games. Especially wince the host nation was relatively close to my country (only 2 hours time difference). The next one will be hosted by USA, Canada and Mexico and that won't be easy to watch since a lot of games will be played at night in my country. |

Its not a surprise for me to see Morocco also lost the match for 3rd place in World Cup. They clearly outperformed their rivals until they lost to France. That sort of lifted magic around them and made them vulnerable team probably with a hit to their mentality, motivation and so on. I also congratulate Croatia, because they are sort of small nation (talking about their population) but they became football country indeed in last 10 years building one of greatest teams of Europe.
Yeah, we are a very small nation of three million people. And not only that. An interesting fact is that Croatia qualified for the six World Cups in it's history. On three of them they passed the group stage and all three times they managed to pass the group stage they won a medal (two bronze and one silver medal). And I really think that Gvardiol needs to be the best young player and the best defender of this World Cup. OK, maybe the best defender title can wait for a few more years, but he has to be given the best young player award! A country with a population of 3 million but with a silver medal finish in 2018 and a bronze medal in 2022 is definitely a very good thing. Congratulations to you and your Croatian friends by placing 3rd this time even though it was slightly less than the previous world cup but still this is a very good achievement. On the other hand, Morocco is actually very good and this is also a very extraordinary achievement for them in this world cup. I think that today Moroccan players wasted too much energy to argue with the referee who was terrible. Maybe Croatian players were better prepared mentally and they didn't argue that much even when Croatia was denied a penalty shot after the foul on Gvardiol. But none of that matter now since Croatia won. Too bad it's pretty cold in Croatia now so the welcoming party probably won't be as massive as it was four years ago.

Morocco did thier best too but somewhere they were lacking in motivation and aggressiveness today. Morocco is no doubt an amazing team and they have proven that to everyone. Croatia have always been good in playing football. Thanks man! |

Very strange that all the same they did not give a single penalty in this match, although in the second half the Croatian player was simply knocked down in the penalty area by a kick in the leg, but the judge did not even look at the replay on VAR although the moment was very controversial.
But Morocco were good, they fought till the end, but the class of the Croatian team was affected. Still, Croatia has much more experience in such matches.
This is how it ended, with Croatia taking home the bronze medal. Nonetheless, Morocco performed admirably in this tournament; they are a team that no one expected to reach this stage of the competition, but they prove to the world that they can never be underestimated. Morocco has now made history by becoming the first African team to reach the World Cup semifinals. I hope that other African countries will improve before the next World Cup so that they can join Morocco in making Africa proud. Morocco is probably the biggest surprise of this World Cup but I have to say that Croatia really did an amazing thing. Country with a little more than three million people won a bronze medal after winning a silver medal four years ago. And to mention that the Croatian league is far below other European leagues... Simply an amazing achievement! And one more thing... I really, really, really hope that FIFA will stop ruin games like this by delegating low lever referees like the one that was delegated for today's game. The guy and his team (including the VAR team) ruined a great game! |

Ako je znao što se događa onda je pametan i spremio je nešto ukradene love negdje na sigurno. Ako stvarno nije znao što se događa onda je glup i vjerojatno stvarno nije spremio ništa od ukradene love. Ali u oba slučaja njegova odgovornost je ista.
potpuno se slazem, pri cemu mi deluje neverovatno da on nije znao nista opet, ne znam sto je on u zatvoru, a Mashinsky iz Celsius platforme nije? inace, izgleda da je interpol kontaktirao Srbiju, u vezi Do Kwon-a, koji je navodno boravio ovde, ali se cini da je pobegao preko granice, ne zna se tacno kuda, pa ako vidite nekog nalik na njega na ulici, nije nemoguce da je on kripto verovatno izgleda kao komedija nekom sa strane u ovom trenutku Meni se čini da kripto više izgleda kao divlji zapad nekom tko promatra sa strane. Vrijednosti kriptovaluta padaju i rastu kao lude, projekti rastu i propadaju preko noći, neki direktori propalih kripto burzi šeću okolo bez problema dok se druge uhiti... Stvarno strašno izgleda. U biti, prosječni ljudi kada na televiziji ili na portalima čuju ili pročitaju ovakve vijesti sa kripto tržišta najvjerojatnije će zaključiti da je sve to jedna velika muljaža i da je puno sigurnije uložiti lovu u neku nekretninu, apartmane na more ili u zlato. Ovakve vijesti im na žalost daju za pravo. Ima ovakvih muljaža naravno i na tržištu dionica, Forex-a i drugdje, ali ta tržišta postoje već stotinama godina i dobro su regulirana, uz puno nadzornih mehanizama a očito je da strožu regulaciju možemo uskoro očekivati i na području kripta, sudeći po vijestima iz EU parlamenta, gdje se o reguliranju kripto tržišta već dugi vodi intenzivna rasprava. Ma muljaža ima svugdje pa tako i u kripto svijetu. Koliko je samo muljaža bilo s privatizacijom u Hrvatskoj? Regulacija kripto tržišta je neminovna ako želimo masovnu adopciju. Najveći problem regulatora je što su prilično "tvrdi" prema promjenama. Oni poznaju tradicionalne financije i pokušavaju kripto tržište na silu ugurati u pravila tradicionalnih tržišta, a to ne ide. Trebalo bi malo proučiti kako kripto funkcionira i napraviti nova pravila. Uostalom, ako je neki projekt potpuno decentraliziran, koga kazniti u slučaju muljaže? I kako uopće otkriti što je muljaža, a što je normalno funkcioniranje kripto tržišta? |

/snip A što se tiče Do Kwona, ako se zaista krije u Srbiji onda je glavno pitanje da li Južna Koreja može tražiti njegovo izručenje ili ne. Čini se da Srbija i Južna Koreja nemaju međudržavni sporazum o izručivanju pa vjerojatno od izručenja neće biti ništa. Čovjek se očito sklonio u ''pravu'' zemlju  Zar je bilo nešto drugo za očekivati? Mislim čovjek očito ima skoro neograničenu količinu novaca i može otići gdje god želi. Zapravo mi je vrlo čudno da je SBF ostao na Bahamima iako je znao da će biti uhićen. Možda nije legalno mogao izaći iz zemlje ali za osobu s hrpom love sigurno nije nemoguće na crno pobjeći. |

As you can see in the first of three pics, Livakovic stands with both feet on the ground before Alvarez run into him. That's why in your picture it looks like Livakovic knocked down Alvarez.
All of this would not have mattered if he had touched the ball; however, Likakovic made the incorrect calculation and ran out of his line to intercept the player rather than the ball. Alvarez was already moving quickly, and there was no way he could pass someone who had both feet pinned to the ground. It was a trap Everyone who watched the match and the slow-motion video could clearly see that it was a collision and not a foul. The referee could have seen it if he checked the VAR, but he didn't. Why? To rule a penalty in such an important match without checking the VAR is a mistake or biased by the ref, if not something much worse.  You can see from this still that the goalkeeper went to intercept the ball and not the player. He put both of his feet on the ground before Alvarez miskicked the shot and crashed into him. What else could the goalkeeper do? His job is to defend the goal and not to get out of the way of the attacking player. Exactly my point. This picture proves my point even more than the one I uploaded. It was a collision and not a foul. Even with that in mind, it would be easier for me (and a lot of other people) to accept the decision if just Orsato had checked the VAR monitor and ruled after seeing the slow motion. |

But the fact remains that Orsato might have decided not to rule penalty for Argentina if he saw the situation on the VAR monitor. I guess the VAR was introduced to football because of that reason. |

But Livakovic never extend his leg to obstruct Alvarez movement. He positioned himself about one meter in front of Alvarez and stood still. The action was fast so it's hard to see it in live, but when you look at the slow motion, you can see it. And I'm not saying this to complain as a Croatia fan. I'm saying this because now we will never know if Orsato saw what happened and awarded penalty regardless or he didn't see it right. If he check the situation in slow motion on VAR monitor and still award the penalty, we all would accept it because it would mean that he saw exactly what happened and ruled it as a penalty.
I've been a Croatia fan since 2014 because of my admiration for Modric and Kovasic, as well as my crush on the formal President, and I have no doubt that was a penalty. From a neutral vantage point. Look at Livakovic's body movement and the ball's position.  Well, if you insist, this picture is when Alvarez already collided with Livakovic. This is a better view of this situation:  As you can see in the first of three pics, Livakovic stands with both feet on the ground before Alvarez run into him. That's why in your picture it looks like Livakovic knocked down Alvarez. |

@igehhh I don't suppose that's how VAR works in total, I know for sure that it doesn't matter what the referee believe he saw at first glance, If the VAR advices him to take a secondly look at the monitor, because the have split decision with themselves, or at least a consensus that is different from what the referee, the referee's say is final but still the I don't think the referee will decline the request or suggestion from the VAR team.
Everything happens through the earphones, and if the ref tells the VAR officials that he saw the situation clearly and made the correct decision, the VAR will accept it without hesitation because the field ref is superior. I believe that most of the time the ref is forced to look at the screen due to the players' pressure, and that most of the time after looking at the monitor, they stick to their initial decision not to appear stupid. I understand that the field referee is superior in making decisions but that shouldn't be the case. If VAR was implemented in football so that field refs would make less mistakes, then they should have a possibility to make the field ref look at the situation on the VAR monitor. For me it still hurts that Orsato didn't watch the situation between Alvarez and Livakovic. When I saw the situation in live TV, it looked like a clear penalty. But when I saw it in slow motion, I'm not that sure anymore. Besides, like cryptofrka said, if Orsato watch the VAR monitor and still ruled it as a penalty, there probably wouldn't be that much of a problem. This way one can think that he saw the whole situation wrong, especially since he was quite far away in the field. I agree that watching VAR would have cleared up some doubts, but I don't believe that particular incident required VAR assistance because a crash like that between players outside the box is always a foul. Livakovic committed two offenses: failing to catch the ball and extending his right leg to obstruct Alvarez's movement. Is there a perfect penalty in football in which both the loser and the winner agreed it was a penalty? No. As a fan, whenever a penalty is awarded against my team, regardless of how soft or hard it is, I must find a way to complain, even if I know it was the correct call; that is what makes football beautiful.  But Livakovic never extend his leg to obstruct Alvarez movement. He positioned himself about one meter in front of Alvarez and stood still. The action was fast so it's hard to see it in live, but when you look at the slow motion, you can see it. And I'm not saying this to complain as a Croatia fan.

Morocco mostly defended in this world cup and played on counter attack and France did tacticly an amazing job thats why they easily won against them . Morocco got lucky to go this far and this is still a huge achievement for them on this world cup. France vs Argentina will be a good match and i honestly dont know who will win
I don't agree that France did an amazing job tactically. They were lucky that Morocco couldn't score even though they were really close. The difference between Morocco against France and Croatia against Argentina is that Morocco didn't fell apart after they conceded the first goal. They continued to attack, but unfortunately for them they couldn't score. Of course that attacks opened them to counter attacks from which France managed to score another goal. But who knows what would be if Morocco managed to score an equalizer. Croatia fell apart after that penalty and Argentina didn't have a hard time scoring another two goals. |

exactly, also in my opinion, for reasons of hunger, argentina has a better chance of winning, let's remember that this will probably be Messi's last world cup
that he arrived pissed off and aggressive, I think he wants to take him home (and he'd have to, poor Leo)
I support Argentina for this reason
Well, France also has players for which this World Cup will be their last, Giroud and Lloris will probably no longer play for the national team, and they would also like to win this final. Everyone only talks about Messi when talking about the Argentine team, and that's probably why many will support the Argentine team, but France has a lot of experience and surpasses Argentina in almost every position, so I think France has a better chance of winning, but I also would like, so that Messi can achieve his goal. The only difference between Messi from Argentina and Giroud and Lloris from France is that France has won the last World Cup so their players already lifted the cup four years ago. This is the last chance for Messi to lift it up. But to me it's irrelevant whether Messi lifts the cup or not. With it our without it he is one of the best players in the history. Honestly I would rather see France lifting the cup because I don't like Argentina's players. When they were playing against Croatia they were constantly on the floor asking for a foul or if they fouled another player, they were wondering why the foul was awarded against Argentina. I know that it's part of the game, but they are really overdoing it. |

Kada pročitate članak FTX stored private keys without encryption, the exchange's new chief said onda možda postaje jasnije kako je neko "hakirao" FTX u danima oko njihovog bankrota. Novi direktor mjenačnice John Ray III je izjavio da je burza u vremenu Sam Bankman Frieda pohranjivala privatne ključeve od svojih kripto adresa na serverima bez ikakve enkripcije i zaštite. Takva praksa je omogučila da bilo tko od njihovih radnika koji ima pristup opremi ili nekom hakeru koji provali u sustav dobije pristup kriptovalutama vrijednim nekoliko stotina miliona dolara. John je također rekao da je osigurao i zaštitio preko $1 milijarde u kriptu kad je on postao izvršni direktor mjenačnice. Nevjerovatno kakav je cirkus tamo bio. Stvarno cirkus samo takav. Meni je isto tako fascinantno da Alameda nije uopće mogla biti likvidirana na FTX burzi. Mislim da je to dovoljan dokaz da sve što se dogodilo nije nikakav plod slučajnosti ili nesretnih događaja nego je netko znao što radi. E sad je li to bio SBF ili netko drugi, vidjet ćemo. U svakom slučaju SBF kao vlasnik burze je najviše odgovoran. Ako je znao što se događa onda je pametan i spremio je nešto ukradene love negdje na sigurno. Ako stvarno nije znao što se događa onda je glup i vjerojatno stvarno nije spremio ništa od ukradene love. Ali u oba slučaja njegova odgovornost je ista. |

I think that France will defend it's world champion title. Argentina is a great team but I think that France is a better team. I know that the whole world want to see Messi lifting the cup but I think that Lloris will be the one who will lift the cup. Overall I think that France have showed much better performance than Argentina and they deserve to win the World Cup.
We can not know the better team until the final is played and the winner is known. World cup matches are not easy to predict. Morocco versus France is not even an easy match, Morocco played with more ball possession and both team have the same shots on target, just that the early goal scored is not easy for Morocco to equalized. I do not see anything more special about France that Argentina do not have in quality playing. Let us see what would happen, but I can not predict which country would win or not, the country that I wish to win is Morocco, but has been disqualified as France won yesterday. Yeah, Morocco held the ball more in their possession against France but so did Croatia against Argentina. And Morocco attacked France more than Croatia attacked Argentina. Possession of the ball is just a statistical data and it doesn't show which team was better. And I didn't say that France will definitely win the final game. I just said that I think that France showed a better performance than Argentina in this World Cup. If nothing else, they beat England which is a very good team. Argentina is lucky that Croatia kicked Brazil out of the World Cup because it was much easier for them to win against Croatia than it would be to win against Brazil. |
