World Cup final pitch invasion: Pussy Riot claim responsibility for interruption

France were 2-1 up in the 52nd minute when the pitch was invaded by three people in suits.

Dejan Lovren approached one before security caught up with them and ejected them.

Pussy Riot, a Russian feminist protest punk rock group based in Moscow, have claimed responsibility for the invasion.

They wrote on Facebook: "Zip closure! Right now, there are four members of the band in the World Cup final: "Millicioner comes into play" on the World Championship field!"

The game resumed shortly after before Paul Pogba struck to make it 3-1 before Mbappe added a fourth.

Antoine Griezmann's penalty and Mario Mandzukic headed into his own net in between Ivan Perisic's thunderbolt.

Mandzukic pulled another back after a Hugo Lloris mistake but France won 4-2 to win their second ever World Cup.

However the game was marred by the pitch invasion, and Pussy Riot have made a list of demands.

Top 10 Countries That Disappeared In The 20th Century

New nations seem to pop up with alarming regularity. At the start of the 20th century, there were only a few dozen independent sovereign states on the planet; today, there are nearly 200! Once a nation is established, they tend to stick around for awhile, so a nation disappearing is quite uncommon. It’s only occurred a handful of times in the last century. But when they do, they completely vanish off the face of the globe: government, flag, and all. Here then, in no particular order, are the top ten countries that had their moment in the sun but are, alas, no more. 10. East Germany, 1949-1990 East Germany , formally the German Democratic Republic or GDR ( German : Deutsche Demokratische Republik or DDR ), was a state in the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War period.

Legia�� Warszawa��-FC Sheriff ★And 35000€ fine goes to...★��

The banner, which depicts a red-eyed pig greedily clutching Legia's balls, was unveiled ahead of Warsaw's Europa League play-off game against Sheriff Tiraspol. A separate banner underneath the Euro-covered pig read: "And the 35,000 fine goes to..." The first-leg match finished 1-1, with Legia travelling to Sheriff next week, in a bid to reach the Europa League group stage. Legia were originally fined due to fans displaying a banner, which was the width of an entire stand, during a Champions League qualifier against Kazakh team Astana. The banner marked the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, when Polish resistance fighters captured large parts of the capital city but were eventually crushed by occupying German forces. It's expected that Legia will see some sort of retrospective action taken by UEFA following this second, but none has been taken as yet. Perhaps we will see a third if they do face another punishment.
