Great analysis @brianphillips. Solid D now=negativity? Minor data points: more goals in 2018 final than last 4 WC finals combined; France scored more goals in KO stage than any champion since 4 round KO was introduced. Perhaps sports analysis is a bridge too far for @newyorker

Spot on. Watching France against Croatia & Belgium felt like the better team lost. Yet in a rematch I’d pick France again given the effectiveness of their countering style.
