FIFA World Cup 2018 will get its champion with the 90 minutes of action at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow on Sunday. France vs Croatia final will decide the crowned champion of the football world for the next four year. The game stretching into the extra time or penalty shootout remains as a big a probability as any one of the two finalists walk home with the golden FIFA World Cup trophy.
France enters the decider with a certain edge, but Croatia has defied the possibilities and probabilities time and again in this World Cup of upsets.
Overall talent, Hugo Lloris under the bar and a strong defence give France a certain edge over rampaging Croatians. It is the midfield and the attacking line up front that puts Croatia on a par with Didier Deschamps’ France and there lies the excitement of the game.
It is France who starts firm favourites against Croatia for their second FIFA World Cup title, but causing upsets has been the Croatian combines’ main trait. Another shocker on Sunday is not fully ruled out. The fans can catch the action live on SonyLIV app and SonyLIV.com from the link below.
