An exciting 2018 World Cup came to an end as France beat Croatia in Sunday’s final in Moscow, but there have been a lot of unusual occurrences on the pitch and on the sidelines in Russia.

Russia 2018 will be remembered as a tournament where football dazzled, giants of the game suffered early exits, goals flew in late at an amazing rate and England relatively convinced football to come home

Today at CheapGoals we take a look at ten of the best offbeat stories from the 2018 World Cup


Robbie Williams Middle Finger



The prestigious Mundial commenced with Russia’s 5-0 whipping of Saudi Arabia, but it was former Take That star Robbie Williams who stole the headlines for exhibiting an odd gesture showing his middle finger to a TV camera amid the tournament opening ceremony.

Nobody is very certain why the Englishman was so angry, particularly considering he was invited to perform despite previously causing outrage in Russia with his song “Party Like a Russian“.

Russia 5- Saudi Arabia 0



From an unbiased fan’s point of view, the World Cup couldn’t have gotten off to a wonderful start. In spite of the fact that these tournaments are worldwide events, the fortunes of the host country, on the pitch, have a tendency to be firmly linked to the environment in which occasions unfurl.

Russian, down to each and every one, had no expectations from their own team. However, it appeared like the whole country was viewing Stanislav Cherchesov’s team go up against the unfenced Saudi side in the opening game.



Russian President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud flanked FIFA president Gianni Infantino at Moscow’s Luzhniki stadium — giving the world a somewhat startling perspective without bounds of global football. The mood was a significant sure Russian nation quick to prove to the world that they could put a stunning show.

At the point when Alan Dzagoev, for a long time regarded as Russia’s most skilled player, went off injured in the first half, it appeared as if Russians would fare much the same as they have done in the recent past – demonstrating flashes of splendor but otherwise failing flat. But, Denis Cheryshev, the only Russian outfield player at a club outside Russia, scored the second goal before the break. Russia went rampaging, slamming in three more into the Saudi’s net to a comfortable win that would set the tone for things to come.

Maradona’s Two-Fingered Gesture



Argentina’s legend Diego Maradona will dependably be remembered as one of the best players ever for his exploits in 1986, but he turned into an increasing fascination for mockery in Russia.

The 57-year-old made a revolting signal from the VIP box to celebrate Argentina’s sensational 2-1 triumph over Nigeria which sent them into the knockout stages, drawing a lot of criticism.

Despite everything he still managed to keep himself in the spotlight even after Argentina’s exit at the hands of France, claiming that he would turn La Albiceleste fortunes around if given the role of a head coach, and afterward being rebuked by World football governing body (FIFA) in the wake of raving about the officials following Colombia’s loss to England.

Swiss Double Eagles



A politically-charged group clash between Switzerland and Serbia saw Swiss duo of Xherdan Shaqiri and Granit Xhaka fined by FIFA for celebrating their goals by making a pro-Kosovan ‘Double Eagle’ gesture which dully represents the Albanian national flag.

Granit Xhaka and Liverpool’s new recruit Shaqiri follow their underlying roots to Kosovo, a former territory of Serbia where thousands were murdered and tens of thousands more pursued from their homes amid a 1998-1999 conflict between Serbian power forces and ethnic Albanian guerrillas.

Neymar Unprofessional Theatrics



Brazilain forward Neymar dominated plenty of the World Cup build-up with his battle to overcome a foot injury, but it was his feigning of injury that saw him turned into the butt of numerous jokes.

The Brazilian star exhibit plenty of his ability, scoring twice as the five-time champions reached the quarter-finals, but reliably and consistently play-acted in clear attempt to have opponent booked or sent off, having a dive to win a penalty toppled by VAR.

Mexico head coach Juan Carlos Osorio named the Paris Saint-Germain forward’s theatrics in Mexico round-16 loss to Brazil a “Disgrace for Football”.

Yuri Cortez’s Polished Skill



AFP photographer Yuri Cortez got himself literally at the center of Croatia’s jubilations after their triumphant goal in the semi-final clash against England but repelled his cool to take a stunning shot.



Croatian goalscoring hero Mario Mandzukic helped Cortez to his feet after he became engulfed by the players, while Domagoj Vida even gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Germany Exit



The emotional triumph over Sweden had football fans expecting that Germany may wind up unstoppable on their path to the final in Russia. However, in one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history, South Korea ended Joachim Low’s side quest before the knockout stages.

With the game bolted at 0-0 and Germany needing a win to qualify, Young-Gwon Kim strikes home from a corner and despite the fact that the goal was at first precluded for offside, a VAR review showed the ball falling off the foot of Toni Kroos and the decision was switched. After five minutes, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer humorously walked upfield and was dispossessed before Heung-Min Son fired into an open net.

Eric Ends Three Lions Dire Run



England won on penalties at a World Cup for the first time when getting through an emotional penalty shoot-out against Colombia in the last 16. It had a country getting up the following morning, asking the question: “Did That Truly Happen?”

Arsenal shot-stopper David Ospina saved Jordan Henderson’s penalty to put Colombia on the edge but Mateus Uribe fired his effort against the underside of the bar before Kieran Trippier reestablished parity.

A major left hand from Jordan Pickford at that point kept out Carlos Bacca’s savage effort – leaving Eric Dier to venture up and send the Three Lions to the quarter-final. London went potty. Then, football appeared to be coming home.

Japan Awesome Ethics



Japanese fans had earned themselves a reputation for being the most deferential and respectful fans during 2014 World Cup when they cleaned the stands and washrooms after their group games in Germany. The Blue Samurai faithful indeed earned accolades and respect in this World Cup as they cleaned the stadium in Rostov-on-Don before leaving for home.

What makes this significantly more mind-blowing is that the Japanese fans had recently witnessed their side throw away a 2-goal lead and lose to injury time goal against Belgium in the round of 16. Through tears, sadness, and sorrow, the supporters remained consistent with their ethics and ensured the stadium was left spotless. The fans had likewise done same amid their three group games



The Japanese team showed unimaginable goodwill upon their exit from 2018 greatest sporting event. Regardless of the tears streaming after the final whistle, the players and staff left the changing room totally clean alongside a note with the caption: “Thank You” in Russian.

Dawn Of A New Era

With the trouble of the previous glory comes the hope for future delights. This has been a magnificent Mundial for those putting their confidence in youth. A bold England frees themselves of long stretches of penalty shootout jinx by playing a team that had no memory of those painful defeats.

Gareth Southgate had the memories but missed the penalty that put England out of Euro ’96 when football was first expected to get back home. Perhaps he paid the price for that slip-up all through his career. His experience and vision were executed really well by a team of extremely young England players.



Meanwhile, Belgium, Switzerland, France even — Nigeria producing one of the youngest team — a new generation of young players is being celebrated.

A multicultural generation that mirrors the numerous tints of present-day democratic society. The Kylian Mbappes, the Dele Allis, and the Romelu Lukakus of the world — are destined to immigrants. In their battles for survival, ten of thousands see to the struggle of their own lives. How they are accepted — as French, English and Belgian immigrants regardless of their race, ethnic background to start with, black or white later — football impacts the world with peace and unity in genuine ways.

Football is truly a beautiful game.

The epic La Liga rivalry has seethed on for almost 10 years, but with the Portuguese having left for Turin on a four-year deal worth £500,000 a week, the fight to be the best player in La Liga between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi is finally over.

The well-established debate of which of these two players is better was something that could be decided to a limited extent by taking a look at the goal-scoring stats in La Liga in a given season, or seeing which one shone in an ‘El Clasico‘ fixture between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

While that was possible for the majority of the last decade, the Portuguese forward decision to leave Spanish capital to bring an end to an era of football rivalry in La Liga.

The epic rivalry has now and again turned out to be heated, with the two players reportingly referring to the other by offending epithets to close associates and attempting to out-do each other in advertising and social media campaigns as they vied for the best spot in La Liga.

CR7 did not get off to an easy start in La Liga in the 2009-10 season, as Barcelona and Messi dominated the League and left the Ronaldo without a trophy in his first season with Los Blancos.

However, as time went on the two players dominated La Liga in one good turn deserves another style, as appeared by their 10-years dominance of the Ballon d’Or in the course of the last decade with the Argentine winning four successive awards from 2009-12 while Ronaldo has won the last 2 consecutively.

The two players have had mind-blowing goal-scoring records in the Spanish league, such as could be seen amid the 2011-12 campaign when both of them scored a combined 96 goals in the League.

That is perhaps the most disheartening thing to leave this transfer adventure as a neutral. Not exclusively were the two players epic rivals in La Liga, but they made each other better.

In the 2011-12 season, Ronaldo scored 46 goals while Messi netted 50. After three years Messi packed away a stunning 43 goals in La Liga, so Ronaldo went and scored 48.

While many football fans have argued and debated on which of the two is superior to the other for the entirety of the last 9 years, what’s for sure is that the epic rivalry has influenced them to want to outdo each other and has thusly driven up both of their performances.

Will that still be the same now that Ronaldo would be plying his trade in Turin? The answer to that will surface eventually.

Joyous French football fans have gone wild in the city of Paris as the team established their place in the World Cup Final, as breathtaking scenes erupted on the capital's streets.



The French national anthem La Marseillaise, serenades of "We're in the final" and an uproar of automobile horns and sparklers rang out over Paris on Tuesday night as residents of the capital celebrated France's walk to Russia 2018 World Cup final.



A stunning crowd of over 20,000 gathered to watch Le Blue's beat Belgium 1-0 in their semi-final clash in Saint Petersburg on a giant screen at Paris' historic Hotel de Ville.



With the viewing space at a premium, as every vantage spot was occupied - with fans perched on trees, over vans, on dustbins and all sorts of things to get a view of 2018 biggest sporting event.

Samuel Umtiti's decisive goal in the 51st minute set off the waving of an ocean of tricolor banners as joyful supporters - numerous in the national team's color-kissed and embraced and danced.



A huge number of delighted fans pressed the Champs-Élysées chanting, dancing and setting off flares

"Vive la France, Vive la Republique" shouted Alia and Sacha, two Parisian schoolchildren.

"We are so proud to be French tonight!" Alia explained as firecrackers exploded on the cobblestones.

Motorbikes, cycles, cars, dustbin lorries - they all came to a standstill to join in the celebrations. With France under high security since the November 2015 terror attacks, the fan zone at the town hall was policed by over 1,200 members of the security forces.

Fans, who had climbed on top of buses gingerly inching their way through the crowds, were dancing and waving flares and flags, as the bus driver fought a losing battle to get his passengers to their destination on time.

"I was 18 years old in 1998, it was one of the most beautiful nights of my life. We'll repeat that this Sunday," said Sebastien.

"This team is fantastic," he said, beaming.



"Boys, we're world champions" one man in his 30s was heard telling his mates. "Stop that, you'll bring us bad luck" he was reprimanded before the group of friends broke out into the chant of the night -- "We're in the final".

From balconies, families waved the French national flag, children kitted out in Les Bleus shirts waved to the crowd below.

The Rue de Rivoli, normally choc-a-bloc with Tuesday night traffic, became a temporary pedestrian zone as crowds made their way along it past the Louvre to the Champs-Elysees, where 20 years earlier Paris had gathered to celebrate France's sole World Cup win.

Two decades on, there was a sense of deja vu as thousands of euphoric fans turned the City of Lights' most celebrated boulevard into a giant street party.

Up in the capital's red light district at Pigalle in the 18th arrondissement, the neon lit-windmill outside the Moulin Rouge cabaret was shrouded in a haze of smoke bombs and flares

"It's magnificent," beamed Thierry Perrier, 45, who was with his eight-year-old daughter.

"We needed this in France, we deserved it. We had the best players and for the moral of the French, to win the World Cup would be the best present ever," he said, his voice hoarse from cheering.

Another fan, 17-year-old Lea, was not even born when France won their one and only World Cup on a heady night at the Stade de France in a 3-0 triumph over Brazil.

As feared, The Teranga Lions of Senegal find it hard to hold off Colombia in their Group H clash on Thursday and was consequently thumped out of the 2018 Mundial in Russia, affirming the end of every one of the five African representatives in the World Cup.



Senegal’s elimination on fair play rules not only made World Cup history, it is likewise the first awful time since 1982 that an African team failed to reach the knock-out stage.

Thirty-six years prior such an awful outing by African representatives was viewed as less shocking. But In 2018, with the present flux of African stars in Eupore underlines what a disastrous Mundial this has been for Africa.

The failure of five countries to qualify to the second round activate instant retrospection, in some ways, it was far more atrocious than ESPANA 1982 World Cup when Cameroon drew with inevitable champions Italy and Algeria were denied only by the then notorious West Germany v Austria Disgrace of Gijon game.

In Russia, three African teams – Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia – were automatically out of the competition before the third group games began, Nigeria suffered a late heartbreak against wounded Argentina and Senegal’s exit is ultimately to wind up as a World Cup trivia question for the ages.



Or on the other hand to put it all the more severe, Egypt went out without a fight; Tunisia in the same manner; Morocco played well but couldn’t score and Nigeria, same to Senegal, got choked when it mattered most.

Only three African teams have ever reached the quarter-finals of a World Cup – a Roger Milla- inspired Cameroon in 1990, Diouf -led Senegal in Korea/Japan 2002 and Ghana on African soil in 2010, who were denied reaching the semi-final stage by Asamoah Gyan awful penalty loss and a Luis Suarez handball.

The disappointment is astonishing as it comes when African teams is developing at World Cups and when fans have sat tight calmly for one team from the continent to correct their blemish on football’s biggest tournament.

With 54 countries, Africa has only a single less country than UEFA, European football’s governing body, but Europe has the lion’s offer of teams at the World Cup, 14 including host Russia.

The only World Cup light not too far off is that the number of African teams will increase from five to nine in 2026 as the competition expands from the regular 32 teams to 48..

The expanded 48-team World Cup set to be held in North America in eight years will see Africa getting nine spots, still far less than Europe’s 16 openings.

African countries used to point to the irregularity of match officials and imbalance as out of line and duly unfair for been segregated in football. But, this foul cries has been discreetly wiped out as results have failed to back calls for increased representation.

Africa’s performance in Russia 2018 World Cup so far looks far-fetched to change that circumstance.
