France, Finally Showing Its Class, Wears World Cup Crown


Vatti Corp Ltd, based in China

MOSCOW — France’s first goal arrived off a Croatian’s head, and its second only after the intervention of the Argentine referee.

But it was the next two goals, the low, hard shots that delivered the World Cup back into French hands, the goals that crowned its latest generation of stars, that confirmed what everyone knew even before its 4-2 victory over Croatia was complete: France was the best team in the field this summer in Russia, a potent mix of greatness, grit and good fortune. And now it can call itself the world champion again.
