This gave number 8s Luka Modric and Mateo Kovacic someone to find further up the pitch in a central position. Ivan Perisic and Mario Pasalic, Croatia's wings, suddenly became the team's highest attackers as both fullbacks maneuvered around the perimeter.
However with Argentina great defense of pinging back Croatia inverted full-backs, they could find the decisive pass to attack. Argentina came out fighting to to send themself to the World Cup Finals once more time after 8 years.

What we know is that the World Cup final is set to be Mbappe vs Messi. Is Messi finally going to bring Argentina the World Cup and maybe cement himself to the greatest of all time. Or is Mbappe going to bring France back-to-back World Cup since Brazil did it in the 1980s.
For what we know and can analyze the game is going to be won in midfield. Whichever nation can control the midfield first, and have possession of the ball will win the game. As both team are strong in defense and in attack. In midfield is where both teams will have to dig deep and control the ball. France are getting Raboit back from injury which is good news for them.
We do not know the final verdict for the World Cup 2022. But what we know is that we are going to see Luka Modric Croatia one more time playing at the biggest stage at the age of 37. Against the team of the World Cup Morocco, which won hearts of the Arab world, Africa as a whole continent, and of course football fans as well.
