Feel for Croatia. IMHO they played the game the way it should be played; they went forward at every opportunity, won it back very quickly more often than not, and simply played on the front foot trying to score goals.
Very good French counter attacking - no one could deny that - but I still think the best team lost.
Stats must be interesting.
