"France simply has more quality and that will be the decisive factor of this final," says Blinker, 49, against NUsport. "With players like Kylian Mbappé and Antoine Griezmann, the French have players who can decide on a match, so I think they'll win the world title."
It's already the third time after 1998 and 2006 (second) The last twenty years that France is in the World Cup final, while Croatia is preparing for its first final battle at the final tournament world. Croats only progressed beyond the group stage in 1998 and were then eliminated by France in the semifinals.
Triple Orange-National Blinker, like many others, did not see that Croats would be as good in Russia.

"They are real men and the France team is mainly composed of boys, which is going to be an interesting fight, while the French have more quality, athletic ability and balance in the team, but they must not be dragged out of the tent by the physical and intimidating play of the Croats. "
Criticism

Critique
They placed themselves with much less problems for the final, but in the first group match at the World Cup, they have a lot The national coach Didier Deschamps often suffers from the style of defensive play that he uses and Blinker can understand it.
"I am also in favor of an attractive football and it was sometimes difficult to see, the weak and the loose France was on the ground, on the other hand, it is of course thickened, because we all know that they have so much quality, everything depends on the results of a tournament and if the French do not underestimate Croatia, I think that they will win the finals.
