Welcome everyone to a very special day that occurs once every four years - it's World Cup final day!

All too soon the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which has left so many of us in awe is coming to a close. It has been one month of amazing football, unmatched skills and breathtaking goals. Russia have indeed delivered what many consider the best World Cup in recent memory.

Croatia and France will face off for the biggest prize in football as the two European nations meet in the World Cup Final this afternoon.

France overcame Belgium 1-0 in the semi-finals, with Samuel Umtiti securing a 1-0 victory as the Red Devils were unable to find a way through the dogged defence of Les Bleus.

Croatia, meanwhile, showed great resolve to battle back from a goal down against England to eventually win 2-1 in extra-time courtesy of a Mario Mandzukic volley.

It's Croatia's first ever World Cup final, while France are looking to land their second trophy after success in 1998.

This should be fun and we anticipate a lot of goals. So stay with us from now as we build up to the closing ceremony and kick off, which is at 3pm GMT.
