World Cup 2018 UpdatesFrench coach comment on his team's 2018 World Cup victory
France won the World Cup for the second time by ending battling Croatia's dream of a first title with a 4-2 victory last night in one of the most entertaining and action-packed finals for decades. France led 2-1 at halftime after a Mario Mandzukic own goal and an Antoine Griezmann VAR penalty, with Ivan Perisic briefly bringing first-time finalists Croatia level. Quickfire strikes by Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappe midway through the second half put France on course for the title. The victory means that Didier Deschamps, captain of the 1998 side, becomes the third man to win the World Cup as player and coach after Brazil's Mario Zagallo and Germany's Franz Beckenbauer. Deschamps speaking through an interpreter says it really beatiful.
