What went wrong? Croatia vrs France 2018 world cup Finals
It's been a long awaited day as today marks the final day at Russia 2018 as the World Cup final takes place between Croatia and France.
After a five weeks of dramatic and breath-taking football game in the biggest sporting event this afternoon, with 32 teams gone down to just two. France finds its way into the Moscow final as heavy favourites, having eased past Argentina, Uruguay and Belgium to get here, while Croatia have done it the hard way by beating Denmark and Russia on penalties and England in extra-time.
All heads up as England Team fly back from Russia following their joint-best performance at the World Cup in 52 years, although it ended in a 2-0 defeat from Belgium. England Harry Kane, not left out with the highest goal scorer currently and set to become England’s first winner of the World Cup Golden Boot – providing one of Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann don’t score a hat-trick in today’s final! Who possible is that?
What could be the score of today's final?
The last Final not decided after extra time or penalties was 16 years ago, in 2002 with each of the last two World Cup finals finishing 1-0 after a goal in extra time. From records, the last player to score a goal in the regular 90 minutes of a World Cup Final was Marco Materazzi, for Italy against France in 2006. Been 12 years though. Will that record me changed today?
Possible line-ups are;
France: Hugo Lloris; Benjamin Pavard, Raphael Varane, Samuel Umtiti, Lucas Hernandez; Paul Pogba, Ngolo Kante; Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann, Blaise Matuidi; Olivier Giroud.
Croatia: Danijel Subasic; Sime Vrsaljko, Dejan Lovren, Domagoj Vida, Ivan Strinic; Ivan Rakitic, Marcelo Brozovic; Ante Rebic, Luka Modric, Ivan Perisic; Mario Mandzukic.
Let's not forget Croatia is leading the tournament with the best defensive play. Will that really give them some credits today?
Seems we Got an Argentina referee for the finals ( PITANA Nestor ). Ohh not forgetting Corotia has Case to settle with Argentina for the 3-0 defeat on the group level of the tournament. Is PITANA Nestor really going to take a stand for the France national team or just do his professional Job? He oversaw the opening match of the 2018 FIFA World Cup between Russia and Saudi Arabia. Pitana was appointed to take charge of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Final between France and Croatia at Moscow. He became the second Argentine referee to take charge of a World Cup Final (after Horacio Elizondo, who did the same in 2006).
Meanwhile, Luka Modric, Croatian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Spanish club Real Madrid and is the captain of the Croatia national team is set to bring the trophy 🏆back home, He is also aiming for (Ballon d'Or 2018)
