FIFA Final: France meets Croatia
England 1 Croatia 2 (extra time)
Trippier 5 Perisic 69, Mandzukic 109
With Southgate, England is back and the feeling is that this young side will blossom for many years to come.
Belgium had more of the ball (60/40%) but France had more of the action, 19 shots, 5 on against 9/3, 6 shots blocked against 1.

England 2 Sweden 0
Maguire 30
Dele 59
Russia 2 Croácia 2 Penalties: Croatia win 4-3
Kramaric 39, Vida 101
Cheryshev 31 Fernandes 115
Nobody expected Russia to get within one penalty shot of the semi-final, on paper Croatia was far superior to the host nation. Russia came through this FIFA World Cup with flying colors, with some excellent team-work, and some brilliant passing which saw Russia's boys make incursions down both flanks and, what is rare, through the middle. Some exhilarating flowing soccer from Russia's finest, who ate the grass and honored their shirt. Full marks to team Russia, 2018! RESPECT!
