It was a crazy final of the beautiful World Cup. France after an amazing match won with Croatia 4: 2 and is the best team in the world!
For 20 years, France was waiting for the title of the world champion. How much has changed since that time, let one of the goal scorers on Sunday afternoon – Kylian Mbappe – was born after the golden summer of 1998. This is one of the children of the French system providing a whole lot of great players. Celebrating a championship title with such a thought behind the head has to be something really nice.
