Forget the Premier League, forget the Champions League, and forget the European Championships – the World Cup beats them all. What we’ve seen in Russia has been nothing short of sporting excellence, as its rained goals, drama, and controversy. While we’ll be sad to see it end, we can’t wait for the final, as two teams are going to clash for football’s top prize.

If you think you can predict the winner, it’s time to step up, but before you make your call, here’s a little match preview to get stuck into.

The Tale of the Tournament

It’s now become pretty clear that France has the strongest overall squad at the World Cup. In every position, the depth in quality that manager Didier Deschamps has to choose from is huge. Just look at the team’s front line, Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann, and Olivier Giroud all have the power to punish defenses.

If France has a raft of superstars, Croatia can certainly match this star power with pure hard work and determination. With Luka Modric pulling the strings in midfield, the small – somewhat understated – nation has stunned the world by making it this far. Technically proficient and certainly tough tackling, Croatia has shown that it isn’t afraid to be a physical side if it’s able to produce results.

Unlike the semi-finals, where each team involved had a storied history, France and Croatia are fairly fresh foes. When you add up all the elements, France versus Croatia is the World Cup final that football fans probably didn’t know that they wanted – as we expect it to deliver big drama.

France’s Journey to the Final

There is no other way to put it, France had a really poor start to the tournament. It should have breezed through the group stage but labored past Peru, Australia, and Denmark – three teams that really shouldn’t have presented too much of a challenge. Thankfully, France woke up in a major way during the knockout rounds. Leaving behind what many considered to be a poor attitude, Les Bleus powered past Lionel Messi’s Argentina, beat Uruguay’s Luis Suarez and co, before rekindling an old rivalry with Belgium in the semi-final.

Many expected the semi-final to be a goal-fest given each side’s attacking fire-power – it proved to be anything but. After taking a 1-0 lead, France sat back and defended their way to the win. It wasn’t an adventurous approach by any means, but it blunted Belgium and eventually got the job done.

Croatia’s Journey to the Final

Croatia has been huge underdogs throughout the tournament, but there is an argument that such tag is a little unjust. The country is in the midst of its very own “Golden Generation,” as its team is made up of players from top European clubs, including Juventus, Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Monaco. This talent shone during the group stage, as Croatia brushed off Nigeria and Iceland with, before crushing Argentina 3-0.

The group stage was easy for Croatia, but the knockout stages proved to be much trickier for the Eastern European nation to navigate. The country needed penalties to get past both Russia and Denmark, with some questioning the mental toughness of the team at the time. However, Croatia would show what they were made of in controversial circumstances against England in the semi-final. Questionable referring marred the game in places, while pre-game political controversies also landing the country’s playing staff in hot water. After going 1-0 down to a magnificent Kieran Trippier free-kick, Croatia could have been a finished force, but they would turn it around during the second-half. As England’s heavy legs failed, Croatia grabbed an extra time goal to win the game 2-1 after 120 minutes.

It’s France’s flash and sizzle up against Croatia’s technical know-how, but who’s going to win? We have no idea, but we do expect it to be a great game.
