The young and energetic France team ran out 4-2 winners over a more matured and experienced Croatian team at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow to win only their second FIFA World Cup trophy in history.
The emergence of France as winners and the several other individual awards has opened the floodgates of banter and here are some of the best reactions from twitter.
Whenever France catches a team that beat us they always give them 4, loyalty

Harry Kane announced as Golden Boot winner, and booed heartily by the Croatian and the French fans. It's really nice how England brings people together.
