France are the Champions. I don’t think they’ve been the best team in the tournament but they know how to win. The style of play is average and too negative but it really works for them. Their squad is still young so there’s plenty of time left for them to become better and play better football in the future.
As for Croatia, they’ve overachieved just to reach the final. For a country of only 4 million, they’ve done superbly well to get here. I hope we get to see Modric and Rakitic at the next World Cup but I fear Modric will have retired from International football by then.
A special mention goes to the officials for their incompetence.
Thank you Russia for an entertaining World Cup. I had my scepticism leading up to it but Russia has shown that it can host good events on the World stage.
Bravo.
