World Cup 2018: 5 points to take away from the final - France 4-2 Croatia

#4 The VAR that acknowledged a wrong decision in the most decisive time

The moment that drowned a nation

If you're well versed with the football rules, then you'll understand that a penalty is only given when the defender in question intentionally uses his hand or fouls the attacker in question.

Considering this moment came well before the first half, the Croatians were fueled with all the anger in the world for the man in-charge of the final.

The moment came when Griezmann took the corner and delivered the ball only to be converted into a decisive penalty.

While the decision rested upon a VAR decision, the entire nation of Croatia were left in tears when the referee awarded France with a penalty.

With repeated views of the foul in question, it was clearly observed that the defender in question unintentionally touched the ball.

Another proof was that there was no French player standing behind him which only justifies the fact that it was completely meaningless.

This was the first time in World Cup history that the VAR was being used and it ended up exploding the twitter, with millions of football fans fuming over the decision.

Had it not been awarded, the match could have had provided more boost to the Croatians who are largely dominant in the entire match.
