2018 World Cup Wrap-Up

France won the 2018 World Cup with a 4-2 victory over Croatia in the Final on Sunday. This was dubbed by many as “the Best World Cup Ever” and it is hard to argue with that sentiment. There was excitement throughout the tournament and numerous surprises. Before the tournament, it was easy to be skeptical about the World Cup as 5 of the Top 25 teams in the world rankings did not qualify. But once the tournament began, it lived up to the hype as the world’s greatest sporting event. Some storylines that we thought would be big (like the institution of VAR) turned out to be small factors and for the most part made the correct decisions.
