The game was a big deal because of the political awareness it raised about political and social issues like immigration, illegal arrests, and more.
Pussy Riot took to social media to share a list of demands to the Russian government, including to free political prisoners, to not “fabricate criminal accusations,” and to end “illegal arrests at protests.”

Fans also took to Twitter to celebrate the amazing diversity of this year’s winning team. “This French team is one of the most diverse. Sixteen of the 23 players on the team come from families that recently immigrated to France from places like Zaire, Martinique, Cameroon, Morocco, Angola, Congo, and Algeria. It’s amazing how immigrants can change culture,”
Attention political animals: “Eat my pussy!”
One fan wrote: If France was as racist towards its immigrant football players as it towards most of its other population, they would never have won the World Cup. The majority of goals were scored by ‘immigrants’ (one of them a Muslim). Hopefully that will change the attitude of some of them.”
