World Cup 2018: Ivan Perisic fires Croatia level against France in the final
The way Perisic moves the ball, you can see why Jose Mourinho was intent on getting this man at the beginning of last season. He is one of the outstanding players on show.

Rio Ferdinand
Former England defender on BBC One
Two bad decisions have turned the game on its head. The character the players have shown has been phenomenal. They have got around this French team, got in their faces and shown their experience and guile.
Croatia are the team who have come out and said 'we're going to win this World Cup.' And yet they're behind.

Alan Shearer
Former England captain on BBC One
There is no way a ridiculous decision should be deciding this final. It doesn't deserve it after the tournament we have had.
Croatia have been brilliant and they are losing this game because of a free-kick that wasn't a free-kick and a penalty that wasn't a penalty.

Jurgen Klinsmann
Former Germany head coach on BBC One
I think this game is far from over. I really think Croatia will come back, create chances and score another one. They have played a brilliant game, France is only reacting to them by they are leading 2-1.

France have never lost a World Cup game when leading at half-time (W21 D1).

France haven't turned up. What have they shown? Nothing.

WHAT a cross that is! Whipped in from the right, Mario Mandzukic close to it and it skips away to safety. Croatia have been the better side but trail in the World Cup final...

David: Winning this World Cup with an own goal and a soft penalty would ruin everything fun and excitement this tournament has delivered.
Sholaz: That's without a doubt a handball. The ref made the right call.
Tony: Sounds like the final is going to be thunderstruck.
CLOSE!published at 45+1 mins
France 2-1 Croatia
Three minutes added on and so nearly a fourth goal!
This has been the World Cup of set-pieces and the dead ball so nearly serves us up an equaliser, Domagoj Vida heads wide from about four yards out...
Not yours yet Harry...published at 16:45 British Summer Time 15 July 2018
France 2-1 Croatia
Antoine Griezmann is two goals off taking the Golden Boot from Harry Kane. If they're level on goals, it comes down to assists and Griezmann has two to Kane's none.

There looks like more goals to come for Croatia here, they are all over France who are penned in and defending the penalty area manfully!

Croatia have to keep playing the way they have been. They have been the better team.
