The 2018 World Cup is in the books, and France is the winners after a 4-2 victory over Croatia. From Paris to Nice, the French are celebrating their 2nd World Cup trophy 20 years after their first one was delivered. Croatia didn’t play terribly, but they just ran up against a team on a mission that played well enough to achieve it.
So, what did we learn from the World Cup final?
France’s core isn’t going anywhere. Les Bleus was phenomenal with a core of Kylian Mbappé, Paul Pogba, Antoine Griezmann, Benjamin Pavard, N’Golo Kanté, and Samuel Umtiti.
