Croatia bowed to 'completely synced' France - Victor Agali

Nigeria legend Victor Agali believes Croatia were unfortunate to miss the World Cup title after a 4-2 defeat to a 'completely synced' France side at Luzhniki Stadium on Sunday evening.

The Fiery Ones saw their dominance count for nothing as they found themselves 2-1 down at half-time before Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappe's second-half strikes crashed their bid for a first World Cup title in Moscow.

In spite the defeat, the former Nice striker, who had predicted France's World Cup triumph, feels the Croats 'held their own' but bowed to a better organized Les Bleus.
