[00:04.52]Crowds of happy French fans [00:07.26]gathered at Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport on Monday [00:12.52]to await the return of their World Cup-winning team. [00:18.24]The team was honored with a parade along the Champs Elysees [00:23.60]and a special presidential ceremony. [00:27.72]France defeated Croatia by a score of 4-2 in Moscow Sunday [00:33.88]to claim the 2018 FIFA World Cup title. [00:38.80]More than 300,000 people filled the Champs Elysees, [00:43.96]the Arc de Triomphe and Place de la Concorde on Sunday night. [00:50.64]They sang the French national anthem, [00:53.60]set off firecrackers and sounded horns until the sun rose. [01:00.96]One woman dressed in red, white and blue [01:04.84]told a French television station, [01:08.12]"We had so much fun last night, [01:10.92]the city was full of joy, so much celebration. [01:15.76]All we want is a wave from the players." [01:19.92]Newspapers printed celebratory stories [01:23.52]about France's second World Cup title. [01:27.12]The country's first victory was in 1998. [01:32.60]That year, the competition was held in France. [01:36.67]"History Made," said the sports newspaper L'Equipe. [01:42.16]Photos of superstar soccer players Kylian Mbappe, [01:47.20]Antoine Griezmann and Paul Pogba were widely printed. [01:52.76]There were also photos of the team [01:55.28]holding and kissing the winning trophy in the rain. [01:59.93]The victory has helped bring about a sense of national unity in France. [02:06.58]Observers made note of the youth of the team, [02:10.68]as well as how many players are of central and North African heritage. [02:17.40]Sixteen of the 23 French soccer players are from immigrant families. [02:24.72]France has suffered years of tension since a series of attacks [02:29.80]by Islamist gunmen during 2015 that left more than 140 dead. [02:37.24]Many say the World Cup has helped lift the nation's spirits, [02:42.36]even as it remains worried about such threats. [02:47.00]The Paris public transportation system also got into the celebratory spirit. [02:54.12]It announced that several train stations were being changed for a short time [03:00.04]to honor the players and the team's coach, Didier Deschamps. [03:06.12]Notre-Dame des Champs station was renamed "Notre Didier Deschamps." [03:12.48]Victor Hugo station was changed to "Victor Hugo Lloris" [03:17.92]after the captain and goalkeeper. [03:21.32]On Monday morning, the effects of Sunday night's partying were still clear. [03:27.52]There were many broken windows, an overturned car and drawings on walls [03:34.04]that included the phrase "Liberte, Egalite, Mbappe." [03:40.00]That is a play on the French national saying, [03:43.40]"Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite." [03:47.16]French government officials have announced that the World Cup team [03:52.12]will receive the Legion of Honor, the country's highest award. [03:57.24]And that's What's Trending Today.
