It is over! The 2018 FIFA World Cup finals are finished. I know, we cannot believe it either!

Many congratulations to France, who beat Croatia 4-2 in the final in Moscow on Sunday evening, whilst a massive thank you to Russia for hosting such a memorable tournament.

Tottenham Hotspur and England captain Harry Kane won the Golden Boot award, after netting six goals for the Three Lions in Russia, whilst Croatia midfielder and ex-Spurs star Luka Modric won the Golden Ball award, after being named the player of the tournament.

Elsewhere, the likes of France’s Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann fully impressed, as well as Chelsea and Belgium winger Eden Hazard.
