Rakitic discussed how the pre-match hype surrounding England fueled Croatia’s victory in their semifinal bout (via ESPN):
All I can say is that they asserted that they were going to be much better physically, that they were superior in that aspect. But, in the end, it was the opposite. It was we who imposed ourselves and played better in the second half and in extra time. We deserved to win. We imposed ourselves because we were the better team.

For me, Messi is the best player in the world and Neymar is very close. But at this World Cup, the star-studded teams relying on the big names are already on the beach. It's the compact, united teams fighting for something that are still around. It's been the strangest World Cup. Football has advanced so much so any team can have well-organised defence, so there are no huge winning margins and the team is everything. This was our problem for 10 years, we had great individuals but no unity and that's why I had to build that unity of purpose in the team.

2018 FIFA World Cup Final Picks
France vs. Croatia World Cup Final
Prediction: France 1 – Croatia 1 (regulation), France 2 – Croatia 1 (AET)
'>After a full month of excitement, the 2018 FIFA World Cup comes down to one final match. With the Jules Rimet trophy on the line, this thrilling winner-take-all contest between France and Croatia is one that fans will not want to miss. France, a fixture in the latter portions of the knockout stage, is making a third appearance in a World Cup final in the last 20 years, while Croatia has defied the odds to earn a spot in the tournament’s finale for the first time in the history of the country. The conclusion of this World Cup has all the makings for a great battle, even if it appears to be a lopsided on paper.
Oddsmakers opened betting with France as an overwhelming favorite, installing the nation as -115 chalk to win in regulation, a line that means bettors would have to risk $1.15 to return $1. Les Bleus are also favored against the spread, laying -0.5 goals at the same -115 price. The Blazers are a massive underdog, currently going off at +385—netting $3.85 for every $1 wagered—to pull the upset in regulation. Croatia’s odds improve quite a bit after accounting for the +0.5 goal line, which shifts the country all the way up to -105, but still a bit worse off in comparison to the French line. A draw is thought to be more likely than an outright upset today, with the tie garnering +220 odds. The books do not expect a lot of scoring in this match, with the total goals set at a meager two. Even more indicative of scores being at a premium is that the under side of that bet is currently favored at -130, compared to the over at +105.
Can Croatia, who has won all three of their knockout stage matches in extra time or penalties, pull out one final miraculous victory, or will France put their superior skills on display to claim their second ever World Cup title on Sunday? Jon Price of SportsInformationTraders.com provided his take on the outcome and you might be surprised by how the pro handicapper sees the final playing out. Before getting to his expert prediction, take a peek at the complete schedule, kickoff start time, TV channel, live stream coverage and updated odds for France vs. Croatia.

What They’re Saying About The 2018 FIFA World Cup Final
France vs. Croatia
French boss Didier Deschamps, captain of the 1998 World Cup champions and manager of the Euro 2016 finalists, says he is still hurt by falling short against Portugal two years ago (via Reuters):
This is exceptional. I am very happy for my players, we showed character and the right mentality. Two years ago, I remember what happened two years ago. We will go into this final to win it, as we have still not gotten over the (2016) final. I feel very proud for my group. We have been 49 days together. There were a lot of things, a lot of difficult things. Everyone can take credit.
B/R Football tweeted a quote from Neymar in which the Brazilian talisman claims he won’t be rooting for any particular country on Sunday due to having personal connections to both teams:
