LEIPZIG, Germany -- His expression when posing with the UEFA Man of the Match Award said it all. Part medieval oil painting -- the suffering peasant who thought he'd escaped the Black Death only to find his village burned to the ground -- part battle-weary warrior turned to stone by the Basilisk's gaze, part "I'm chucking this stupid piece of metal out the window because it's meaningless now that we've lost."

We don't know if this was Luka Modric's last game at a major international tournament.
