France or Croatia? A World Cup Q&A with Sporting KC’s Johnny Russell

Ahead of the 2018 World Cup final on Sunday morning between Croatia and France, Sporting Kansas City forward Johnny Russell sat down with The Star to give his thoughts on the past couple of weeks of soccer mayhem, as well as his predictions heading into the final weekend.

Russell has made four appearances for the Scottish national team so far in his career, facing World Cup teams such as England, Peru and Mexico.

What has made this World Cup so crazy and fun to watch?

I just think it’s been a bit unusual. It’s been a good watch; there’s been a few shocks that you wouldn’t really expect or say it was going to happen before it started.
