MOSCOW (AP) - A billion-dollar assembly of stars makes France the favorite for the World Cup final, a scenario that Dejan Lovren is pitching as perfect for Croatia's biggest ever game.
Underdog status suits Croatia perfectly for World Cup final
"We love to be the underdogs," Lovren said in the wake of Croatia's England 2-1 extra-time win over England.
With a population of 4.3 million and a history of struggle, it's easy to see why. Not since Uruguay's win in 1950 has a country of so few people reached a World Cup final.
