France prevailed in the end as it was bursting with multinational talent. But Croatia did well too. Under the able leadership of Luka Modric, the tiny nation has reached the highest pinnacle in the world of football. Apart from the players, special mention must be made of the Croatian President, Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, who won our hearts. She was there for her country right through. The Russians managed the whole show very well.
