Sport is a catalyst that brings people together. France could be another prosperous European nation to win the World Cup, but it was the multicultural identity of its largely non-white team that was on display in an exciting and goal-laden final. Although it was not another contest between David and Goliath, even the loser, Croatia, went away with a sense of accomplishment from being so far away.
Croatia's melancholy thoughts on what could have been – if not for a penalty allowing its rival to hold the 2-1 goal at the interval even though the intrepid front-line had largely dominated the France favorite. Kylian Mbappe, the prodigious intrepid sprinter of the prodigy, saw France take the unbeatable advantage as his pbad to Pogba and then his own 25-yard screamer sealed the match. Open and offensive football has brought its rewards for a very young team.
The curious spectacle of Vladimir Putin protected from Moscow rain by a golf umbrella while everyone, including Emmanuelle Macron, was soaked in the skin preserves the story of a disdainful plutocrat who yet had hosted one of the most beautiful cuts in the world. The warmth of the hosts and the dissipation of Western media myths about life in Russia were revealing. Putin's construction of 12 big arenas for $ 4 billion in remote cities in Moscow has helped to showcase the world's most popular game. Fears of hooliganism did not bear fruit and took place only during the champagne celebrations by the delightfully happy French people on the night of victory of Hugo Lloris and his men. If President Macron feeds on a good start for France, its image and its economy, Putin appears as the strong Russian man who opened his land and the heart of his people to sports visitors
Happy with this World Cup has made it a unique event in modern times where the complaints of discomfort and inconvenience are greater than the stories of happiness and acceptance. England has risen to dream again. Belgium finished third despite participating in the death group because of its preliminary victory against England. Japan has made Asia proud by qualifying for knockouts. A highly defensive host, Russia, made an unprecedented quarter-final appearance where penalties were ordered before Croatia could advance. With the defending champion Germany, the South American giants of Brazil and Argentina would have been the most disappointed. In conclusion, coach Didier Deschamps put into perspective the fact that talent alone does not win a World Cup. The psychological and mental strength is also vital, he noted, as he became the third player to win the World Cup as a coach.
