The final of the World Cup is set, and it's a European battle with France, one of the tournament favorites, and Croatia, a Cinderella team that wins three consecutive games won in overtime or penalty kicks in the knockout phase. On the eve of the final in Moscow, a bronze medal will be awarded to St. Petersburg between the two losing teams in the semi-finals, Belgium and England. As a result, there have been some changes in our new set of World Cup power standings before the games this weekend. Let's get to work:
Power Rankings before the World Cup Final
1.
France
+1
The tournament favorite and top ranking after defeating Argentina, Uruguay and Belgium to go so far. France is determined to erase the memory of losing the Euro 2016 home. The team showed what it can do when everyone is on the same page.
2.
Croatia
+2 [19659007] A shock finalist who took advantage of a weaker side of the parenthesis. It is disturbing that this team does not manage to win a match in the round of 16, but it has done enough to get through the story and it could have a real shot by shooting a shocking result.

England
– [19659007] A sad end to the journey. It will be difficult to qualify for a third-place match, but Gareth Southgate's men should be proud of what they've achieved. The future is brilliant.
4.

Teams eliminated in the quarterfinals
5.
Brazil
–
Shows of Horror: just a nightmare that started half an hour and never got up, created so many chances and could not take them, and he came back to bite them. ng, and it's sad.
6.
Uruguay
–
The Royal Canadian Legion Cavani's injury was really part of this team, but also the fault of Fernando Muslera. The end of a golden era for Uruguay could be close with Luis Suarez, Edinson Cavani and Diego Godin eventually playing in their last World Cup. Just not creative enough when it mattered the most.
7.
Russia
–
A memorable tournament , and Russia came to some penalty kicks from the semi-finals. A moment that they will not forget, but they will regret the execution in the penalties. Always, a fun race that builds trust in the future.
8.
Sweden
–
Outstanding by the England but still a good tournament for the Swedes. Do not need Zlatan Ibrahimovic and proved that some doubted. This team has young players for the future and could threaten at the 2020 Euro.
Teams eliminated in the round of 16

Colombia
–
With James Rodriguez, I think this team beats England. But he ends up with a calf injury and, consequently, the home of the cafeteros. Out of heart for this team after two wins in a row. Now, you have to ask yourself what is the next step. Will Jose Peckerman continue?
10.
Japan
–
A Heroic Show against Belgium and probably deserved more. The goal of Jan Vertonghen to start the return was something else, something extraordinary. The Japanese left everything on the ground and were a chic group that gave their fans good memories.
11.
Argentina
–
I do not understand not very well how Jorge Sampaoli still has a job. Of course, there is a big redemption, but he must still do a good thing. This seems almost as horrible as the release of the group stage in 2002. A circus.
12.
Mexico
–
No. 39 did not take care of Sweden in the group stage and got Brazil accordingly. The team has resisted a bit, but it has always seemed that South Americans would win. Is it time to welcome a new generation of players for the next World Cup, and possibly a new coach?
13.
Denmark
–
Unlucky against the Croatia at times but did not deserve to win. Only had a chance because of Kasper Schmeichel's penalty stop. The Danes have a bright future with Christian Eriksen in the lead.
14.
Switzerland
–
Not well. Chose a bad time to have a night out of the attack. Oh, what could have been. This team has the talent and the complicity to make a semi-final considering the clashes, but it blew it up.
15.
Portugal
–
Cristiano Ronaldo does not could do nothing against a central Uruguayan defense with which he was extremely familiar. Someone else had to step in and nobody really did it. Sent packing as expected. So much for the construction of Euro 2016.
16.
Spain
–
Where do we begin we? Looked good in the attack against Spain but did very little else the rest of the way. Maybe we were joking ourselves. But pulling the coach two days before the cut is not going to make it easier. A debacle.
Teams eliminated in the group stage
17.
Senegal
–
Unlucky to go out on yellow cards. It was fun while it lasted and they have a bright future.
18.
South Korea
– –
Scored a huge victory over Germany to finish the tournament on a high score and eliminate the defending champions. I played better than expected, but it was a difficult group.
19.
Germany
–
The United Kingdom World Cup worst that this national team has ever known in modern history. A shocking effort that raises serious questions.
20.
Nigeria
–
Had a chance to advance but was unhappy not to have a draw against Argentina to move on. Shown in a match, do not have in the other two.
21.
Poland
–
Congratulations on the victory. He came 180 minutes too late. Super in qualifying, horrible at the World Cup.
22.
Peru
–
Won a victory against Australia to win a memorable moment before going home. This team played well, but the finish was over. Decent show.
23.
Serbia
–
Cooled After won the opening. Discourage performance. Had the chance and could not put them away.
24.
Iceland
–
The L 39 outsider could not do it. The Euro 2016 race was not a fluke, but she just met a difficult group that she could not handle.
25.
Costa Rica
– –
Summary of the tournament on a draw, but far from his expectations before the start of the tournament. Could be the end of an era with many important players towards the end of their careers.
26.
Iran
–
Unlucky to not beat Portugal. It was always going to be difficult to get out of the group stage. He had a chance, but he failed to capitalize on it. Oh, what could have been.
27.
Morocco
–
J & unknowns really like how this team played. Effort and heart, but Morocco has wasted so many chances that it makes me sick to think about it.
28.
Australia
–
Not Enough quality to fight. Very predictable in attack. Can not score just on penalty kicks.
29.
Saudi Arabia
– –
A won a victory over Egypt to end on a positive note. Good game.
30.
Tunisia
–
Finished with a victory over Panama for his second World Cup victory. It's something at least.
31.
Egypt
–
Mohamed Salah and 10 others. Never really had a chance. I have never had the hype before the tournament for this team.
32.
Panama
–
Three matches, three defeats. As expected, but it was fun at least. Panama celebrated goals as he had just won the final, and this shows you exactly what his first trip to the cup meant for this small nation.
