Morocco v Croatia final will piss off fifa. 

Yes.  That was a disappointing win for Croatia, although in fairness to Croatia they gave as good as they got for the first hour.  But Neymar's goal was outstanding and deserved to win a game.

Should Ederson have started instead of Allison? Allison is the better keeper overall, but Ederson better at stopping penalties? 

You can't start the game based on that, though. Even because the 3rd choice keeper Weverton, probably has more experience in penalty shoot-outs than the other two put together.

Allison's penalty save statistics are among the best - he's saved 13 out of 32 penalties (40% save rate) vs Ederson who has saved 7 out of 52 (13% save rate). Statistically ~75% of penalties are scored, so Allison's save rate is way above the average.

I don't think either Ederson or Weverton would have made any difference - all of Croatia's penalties were mint.

That was a harsh penalty decision.  Messi should've gotten a yellow card for his cynical, deliberate handball too.

Argentina have been the much better side though. Netherlands are just playing pointless possession football with no attacking threat - one attempt at goal all game and that was not even on target.

 

Eta. Haha. First shot on target = goal.
