I would like to see Croatia pull this off, as I don't think they'll ever have a better chance to win a major trophy. This is probably the last hurrah for Modric and this golden generation.

Realistically, I don't give them much of a chance. France are fitter, more well-rounded, and they've looked increasingly like world champions as the tournament has gone on.

My prediction is a 2-0 win for Les Bleus. I have a feeling that Griezmann and Varane will score.

I would like to see Croatia win because generally in sport I like to see first time winners and I feel this is a lot of the players in Croatia's team last chance to grab that glory

I think Croatia having to play every knockout game with either extra time or penalties is going to be the factor here.  France to win 2-1, Mbappe to score one of them and BBC/ITV exploding and pretending that nobody knew who he was before the tournament

Still no idea why the BBC studio team feel they need to wear suits for the final but not for the rest of it. Same every tournament :D 

At least they treat it like a Final.

ITV's football team, on the other hand, will happily suit up for England internationals outside of major tournaments, but not for the World Cup Final itself.

Way too many bottlers in both teams, expecting a red card. :D

Will Griezmann finally deliver in a final?

Will Pogba actually do something great in a big game?

 

Ref will forget his yellow and red card exists like most games this tournament.

Tbf to Griezmann, he scored twice in the Europa League Final this season.

I think (for anyone watching the BBC atm) that's the first time in this tournament I've heard the British media mention that Modric is reviled by a number of his countrymen for his part in the corruption scandal. Any casual viewers would assume he was hero worshipped.

The closing ceremony was on the red button. I didn't press it. Instead, I enjoyed that France '98 Final flashback. You never forget your first.

Also, I've just read through that series of tweets GunmaN linked to. Stimac :lol:

The highlight for me was seeing a man being punched into the sea.
