Frances' Victory - Russia chokes on the field. These games are played every four years and are sometimes referred to as soccer, or football, but for the past month they’ve been the beautiful games. Today the beauty was most definitely defined at an international sports stage for over one billion viewers to watch.
When I was a young reporter, my editor asked me to cover a game and I decided to ask one of the players to explain it to me.
His name was Pele and he turned out to be one of the best in the West, East, North and South America. He spoke in Portuguese, so thank God I speak Spanish fluently.
Many years later, as executive producer for Univision, I may have helped to create the FUTBOL Monster https://cimages.me/content/andy-the-singer -Finally, Kylian Mbappe, who is now 19 years young becomes the first teenager to score in a World Cup final since Pelé. Mbappe scored France's 4th goal.
France is the undisputed World Cup power in the final vs. Croatia, 20 years after winning it as the underdog. Sports happens intensely today. France and Croatia had only met once before at the #WorldCup, in the semi-finals of 1998... France are World Champions once again, 20 years later! #WorldCupFinal
This was the most entertaining World Cup in history as France and Croatia faced off with the world title on the line. The action started @ 11A ET, on FOX and Telemundo TV https://www.livesoccertv.com/competitions/international/world-cup/
Croatia didn't officially join FIFA until 1992 will be playing in its first final after a dramatic extra-time win over England. As for France, the showdown marked the third time Les Bleus have reached final. So will France host the cup as they did in 1998 next time?
