France – Croatia, curiosities

The representatives of France certainly have behind their heads what happened there two years ago at the Euro. The scenario of the World Cup is very similar – the French return to the final as a favorite and again Tricolor had a theoretically heavier scale. The men of Deschamps could not stand the pressure of their own stands, and although many handed them the trophy before the first whistle, the Portuguese reached the trophy

Nine minutes – it was the moment when the French players lost throughout the tournament in Russia. In the 1/8 final match, after the Mercado goal in the 48th minute, Tricolor had to continue the result in a confrontation with Argentina. Less than ten minutes later, Pavard scored a superb goal and Kylian Mbappe took the promotion.

The Croats are the first team since 1990, playing in the World Cup in three consecutive games. Eight years ago, another 90 minutes on the pitch passed in front of the England officials, who lost in the semifinal with Germany after a string of eleven. In 1990, we also had the opportunity to see the team that won the next two competitions of eleven. At that time, such a meeting was successful for the Argentines who eliminated Yugoslavia and Italy. This year, Croatia has faced Denmark and Russia.

Staying on the subject of overtime – none of the previous three World Cup finals came to an end in regulation time. For the last time, we met the world champion after 90 minutes in 2002, when Brazil beat Germany. Four years later, the Italians needed a penalty and, in subsequent editions, the Spaniards and Germans won the Spanish medals after extra time

For the first time in history, six events World Cup could have won six different national teams. Until now, the longest series are five worlds (1966-1982, 1982-1998 and 1998-2014) – the current one starts with the triumph … the French, who won there are 20 years on their own grounds. The next tournaments were won by Brazilians, Italians, Spaniards and Germans

And since we are talking about 1998, it is necessary to mention the current coach of the national team of France. Didier Deschamps at the French championship was the captain of the team, who reached for the gold medal. Team, which in the semifinals has faced the Croatian national team.
