wild celebrations in paris france france when the two thousand eight hundred people world caught you're looking at live pictures from the french capital and the second time the have been crowned football world champion. and france crushed for ways to cope with a convincing board to win the support white each half and although throwing sand never gave up it was not enough brains are the world cup champion.

and while come to the program what a final bout was france are the winners of the two thousand eight hundred world cup and nick mckenna klein in the detail the sports department is here in studio with me nick fantastic game take us through it is incredible is the highest score in world cup finals nine hundred fifty eight were brazil be sweden five to pose for to the school and here kicks off and that's in the eighteenth minutes when the first go happens marmaduke is the unfortunate man with an own goal going to see a slow motion he was magic which and right off it was that ok no going to the second go which is even paris is in the twenty eight minutes now after this it was one one of course it was a questionable decision which went france's way they got a penalty for a humble in the box with the third and that was two one going into the hof. time

then off the break interesting dons from the great break a sublime goal from pope in the fifty eight minutes look at that right it's that i . could do nothing and kidding and play then after this made it five story for three three one there we go. in the sixty fifth minute they've been known to fight back in this tournament but this is more mistake for you going to receive more than actual good foot from my room and you could forward to the final score and all the worries that's upset here i think right now he really doesn't care any longer because he'll be celebrating the whole life for no one to be talking about you know if they do he doesn't care as he said he's world cup champion right now this is friends second world cup title where they deserving winners i mean in that game it looked like they certainly were but throughout the tournament in the group stage i wouldn't have said so although i had france to win at the beginning the tournament they play they had a few one game against australia which was really tight and you wouldn't expect that because australia onse a big household name then there's a one nil victory of peru again not

a particularly strong team and the only neil neil draw of this whole tournament have fronts in it that was against denmark so off the group stage one thought what's going on here but their first game was against argentina and that was a four three winston similar to this called i'm actually incredible game that they went on to play uruguay beat them to nil and of course we saw during the week where they beat belgium one nil that was also relatively close it was also one for the purest fantastic football but if you want to see goals it wasn't the match for you and of course here the final in crates against croatia for two the way they played today they definitely deserved to win this second world cup quite the road for france now for croatia certainly a heartbreaking defeat especially given the first time they've played in a final. heartbreaking right absolutely but this is always to say just the sword one side can be happy one side's going to be absolutely devastated and i think they can probably what they've achieved i mean having croatia country which has four million inhabitants is slightly more than we have here in berlin making it's the world cup final is such a massive achievement for the players but also for the country and what they have

shown is that they never ever gave up on that site which we've seen throughout this tournament three times coming to this final they've come from behind so then when in the penalty shoot outs they've shown that they really they got c. they've they've just so they were so mentally strong so tough to come back from a goal down and make it to the final they should they have to be proud of that because right now that's just the condolence really for them but i mean considering what they've done is a huge a massive achievement and bodes well for what's to come in the future for them you're showing us the highlights you mentioned the use the v.a. are it made its debut at this tournament overall was it successful or does it remain controversial i found it more successful than it's been in the bundesliga but it still has to be developed i mean that we saw that decision today i'm still not even sure if it really should've been penalty decision but of course it's all down to people's opinions and that's that's the deal with it and that's my computer where you definitely have a yes or no wants and these are people involved in as always if a referee thinks having looked at yes that's definitely a penalty for me but it might have been for a different reference is always difficult this whole thing all in all though at

this world cup i think they have done a lot better than they've done in the leagues receive them in the last season now france will surely want to celebrate this for the days the weeks the monstrosity the years ahead but our job is to look ahead what are the future hold for this french team this is a golden generation of belgian yesterday this is a golden generation for france for the last four years they've really been developing and they've got fantastic players some of the most expensive players in the world are in this team and for good reason you have pulled who transferred to my united two years ago for just over one hundred million killen and back pay four hundred sixty million and it's because they're just absolutely incredible players but it's not about the individuals this front's team is about the team. for the what they've what they've done on the pitch and you haven't seen france being named you know the spot boss team this is his team this is a france team and this is why the reasons why they won this tournament all right we're going to go to zagreb now where there are surely many disappointed fans do w.'s on melanie joins me malony it's good to see you how did the fans react when

croatia came from behind to tie it up one one. i have to say if you're waiting for me to say that there is a lot of disappointment i have to disappoint you there were thank you thousand fans here cheering for that team the entire time and i was expecting to see some tears here but really they all know that they have somehow made history anyway this is the first the best ever results in the world cup for the creation team so as i as i have to say there are no t.n.c. a lot of people are just cheering and i'm pretty proud of their national team they set me somehow on national heroes and not have one even come in and what's your take on the game. first of all a sink or cushions all over the world can be a fault of this boy team they played with love with passion they fight they gave one hundred percent for ninety minutes or for one hundred twenty minutes we can be

proud of this team and we are called to expect this in any way. no way we are second of two will do so for the second one that's a great was all so are you going to be waiting here for that see. through and everyone should be waiting for this team we want you to say thank you thank they gave so much passion and love for the country. that you have that they creations are happy anyway that is probably the best result that anyone could have at the end of the world cup and that and back to the studio melanie that was a wonderful interview showing how proud the fans definitely are we have to ask you what have they been telling you in terms of the future of this team that will they go on to have successes. whether as a thank you there are sadly a lot of fans here who have been saying we don't know if price that is ever going to have a chance like this again maybe in another twenty thirty forty years but then there

olson the fans who really do believe that this is just the very beginning of everything they are hoping for the crazy national team to keep on. stunning seeing the entire wells and they have said that the team will be that kind of see them around in the next book cup as well astonishing team an astonishing achievement thank you melanie for and about joining us from zagreb joining me now is d.l.p. sports reporter barbara moore she's in moscow barbara had good to see you what is the atmosphere like right now. it's heartbreaking to hear melanie i must say from zagreb and it's a bit like what the people here also fear because most people who have been supporting croatia of course now anyway from from the moscow post-tax if i must say that four weeks of nerve wrecking tension have come to an end here with this fine and it was such a perfect final as a spectator it had everything you could wish for and we had

a thunderstorm even going on during the game we had invaders on the pitch we had six goal it's incredible goals including a penalty and an own goal and as a as a neutral spectator i will say it was just fantastic to be a witness of this game it was a high scoring final you mention the six goals in sixty years what did you make of the game. what i do think it was it was into taining first of all you might be a bit critical of the french side they didn't have that many shots on target of course but then again friends just proved they are the team that just knows how to win and this must have been the desk writing for it where the creation team have been fighting so hard and tried and to the very end to make it to the gold themselves but i would say they have had a little must fortune also of course with the own goal of munjal kids at the very beginning but in the end a friend has been the winner here and has well deserved this victory as well i

would say now barbara fifo boss gianni invent you know said that this world cup has changed the way of the world views russia do russians feel that way. well maybe in some sense that he might be true though i would not agree on the sentence that this has been the work of putin and that he has achieved them showing the words how russia really is but i actually think this has been a work of the fans was incredible to see how open minded and really open the fans have been they have even though many of them really don't speaking. it had been very complicated to communicate with the russian bugs thanks to google translate and other measures they really tried to get in contact they would really open minded they're really happy to see so many foreigners coming to this country so i really think in that sense it might have changed the country now let's see how it's going to go on from monday and of course communication rather difficult but what have they been saying to you i mean it's been weeks and weeks of football fans

intermingling and discussing soccer but now that it's coming to an end how are they all feeling. well i do think they have discovered that one passion for football in football was maybe not number one sport c.n. russia it was mainly ice hockey but they have to cover its own football team as well they have to pass on and they really supported that seemed to be very and they have been very keen on always asking how we like the country they also themselves really likes to give a positive country about that i think that's fair enough they still have also been very interested and getting to know other cultures and hear from other countries so what i do think and that sense it has been really good to make countries and coaches get to create open minded people and get closer together forever and i keep you on the line i asked nick now european teams have dominated this world cup is this harmful to football as a whole or is it ok i personally think it is i mean there was six european teams in

the quarter for the quarter finals and to south americans not a single african not a single asian australasian team i think concerns the world cup isn't a search a good thing of course these these are these are teams have always been good at bigger tournament they've got better infrastructure when it comes to football and that's why they reach these positon omens but it's also the way that i find physics up if you think about it you're up has fifty five countries that can qualify for the the tournament thirteen can actually make it to to the finals here africa same number of countries could qualify there's only five so how is that fair i think that needs to be changes that definitely just to help move teams along we've seen some good african teams that previous tournaments gano cameroon one thousand nine hundred samples and they got making it to the quarter finals in in two thousand and two so they have been good teams but they just don't have a chance how are they supposed to hold up against five teams holed up against teams so that i think he's been changed but these european teams this year was very very good so they deserved to get as far as they did i'd like to see

a change that i think as you were speaking we're looking at live pictures from the french capital paris and. extraordinary scenes as thousands and thousands of fans have gathered and what was a viewing party is now a celebration and they're waving the three colors the flags there there you go that's a party jumping up and down plenty of songs to be sung while we continue to watch these images i do have to ask you because the biggest stars the ones that we were expecting to shine did not necessarily perform well at this world cup was that expected in some way but really you would think that players like best your name i will make it further cause messi knocked out by france in the last sixty in a mock up by belgium in the quarterfinals you usually think that these players who are household names and they are such big names will be able to pull that scene for the last days proved to be a fallacy over the last couple of years the only way to win this tournament is if you play as a team and as i was mentioning before home to france you do have these fantastic players can in them. also increase money all really good footballers but they're

not playing as individuals they're playing as the team for team france and they've brought back the world cup title to paris and you can see what it means to the fans there this is the second time in twenty years that france have won the world cup title is their third final in that same period of time the horse that made the european final twice in that time this is been a consistently good team over the past twenty years and a lot of time has to do with playing as a team and behind this team of course is to do additional of the coach he won with france ninety one the euros in two thousand but france and now he's coached this team to the biggest success since he was a player and just goes to show what he's done for the team but as he has done for the country that epitome of teamwork makes the dream work the dream has definitely been realized and once again we're seeing live images from paris france as french fans in the city celebrate their team's fortunes victory over croatia nick i'm going to continue want talking about the biggest stars of the tournament you mentioned neymar what about his legacy now i mean there were many talks about his

antics on and off the pitch i mean four years ago when he left the world cup of course with a broken back must about. which was a bad way to go this time he's going to be remembered for spending fourteen minutes of the first three games playing on the ground and we've seen pictures of school kids who've been doing the name as they've been calling it where they in training as soon as someone blows the whistle they'll fall down and roll around for a bit that's unfortunately the legacy that the world's most expensive player will have for this world cup which is to be honest with you considering these players are role models and you can see what the kids are picking up not a very good thing. i remembering in detail is melanie cora she's standing by in zagreb disappointment for the croatian fans but they as she mentioned are very very happy with the fact that their team has finished second melanie if you can hear me can you tell me.
