"I don't generally get excessively inspired with players in light of the fact that my benchmark is Zico at the 1982 World Cup and Diego Maradona four years after the fact. So my bar is, high. In any case, goodness me, from half-time onwards, Modric wasn't a long way from that level. He managed the Champions League last for Real Madrid against Liverpool in Kiev. He's basically unbeatable as far as his capacity to run, handle and pass."

Stan Collymore to the Mirror after Croatia's annihilation of England in the Russia 2018 semi-finals

"Modric is one of only a handful couple of players on the planet who can accommodate you with football. Modric is the Iniesta of eight years back in South Africa – he elevates football."

Jorge Valdano talking with Onda Cero 

"I've said it previously: Modric is nearly on indistinguishable level from Zidane was. What's more, Zidane was outstanding amongst other players ever. They see things that we wouldn't see in moderate movement."

"Simply overlook all that for one moment about this Madrid group: shouldn't something be said about Luka Modric's execution today? Is it accurate to say that he is the best midfield player on the planet at the present time? That execution today was shocking. He gets the ball in tight territories, he gets squeezed by three or four individuals, he's so quiet, gathered, cool under strain. It was a delight to observe today."

Steven Gerrard amid BT Sport's scope of the UEFA Champions League last 
"I think Modric has the right to win The Best. It would be extremely merited. I would be as upbeat in the event that he wins it as I would in the event that they offered it to me."

Sergio Ramos 
"For me, the most essential thing is the World Cup, so for this I think Modric had the best battle. Modric was great in the World Cup, yet he was likewise great in the Champions League and he commanded the last against Gremio. He's a decent passer, has a decent touch, can strike the ball well and is gutsy. What separates him is his vision and his capacity to escape inconceivable circumstances with the ball."

Zico talking on his Youtube channel 
"Luka Modric was so extraordinarily great in each division of how you need to judge a decent player. What he did in the World Cup is simply mind boggling. He was scoring objectives, making objectives, battling. He was only a mind boggling player in that period."

Diminish Schmeichel talking with CNN 
"Luka demonstrates to us that it's anything but difficult to play. Trust me, it's outrageously difficult to play football. To play in the World Cup it's much harder. What's more, he plays like it's ordinary. It resembles a move for him."

Kaka to Omnisport by means of adidas 
"It has constantly disappointed me that Modric has been so underrated. It is just when he adds objectives to his diversion –, for example, his staggering strike against Argentina – that whatever remains of his amusement gets the acknowledgment it merits. At the point when your group are under the cosh, there is no better player to deal with the weight. Modric is continually ready to get the ball and will keep hold of it to alleviate the amusement. That is the characteristic of an overcome player. He ran the show for Real Madrid against Liverpool and did as such again to vanquish Argentina. He is the best midfield player on the planet."

Jamie Redknapp writing in the Daily Mail 
"The group plays under his [conductor's] mallet – nothing occurs without experiencing Modric. For me he's the immense maestro of world football. He sorts out the group well, and Real are the heroes with Modric as their No10. We required a World Cup for everybody to value Modric's diversion."

By Adrien Gingold with France 


Not out of the blue at the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ Antoine Griezmann was France's hero in Sunday's Final against Croatia. We talked subsequently to the Budweiser Man of the Match, a recently delegated World Cup champion.

"Apologies, yet we're so cheerful. We feel so pleased, and we simply need a certain something: to run and commend this with the general population of France."

France's joint-driving goalscorer of the opposition with Mbappe, Griezmann by and by assumed a compelling part as they saw off Croatia. Not reluctant to assume liability, he set Les Bleus making progress toward triumph once more, similarly as he had done in scoring a punishment against Argentina, and in flighting pinpoint free-kicks on to the heads of Raphael Varane and Samuel Umtiti as France saw off Uruguay and Belgium separately.

He was grinding away again in the Final, first sending in the free-kick from which Mario Mandzukic coincidentally looked the ball into his own particular net, and afterward scoring from the punishment spot. Pondering the amusement, he stated: "I adore matches this way. It's win or you're out. That is the point at which I'm at my most certain and when I feel the best. I'm enchanted I could demonstrate that again today around evening time."

With four objectives in all at Russia 2018, he is France's second most astounding scorer at a solitary World Cup after Just Fontaine, who struck a mind blowing 13 objectives at Sweden 1958. It came as news to Griezmann: "I genuinely didn't realize that. I know it sounds like a banality, yet the group precedes all else. Today we wound up title holders together, and we'd be nothing without the group."

Giving his conclusion in the midst of the French happiness, Lucas Hernandez had this to say in regards to his Atletico Madrid colleague, a player he is near and whom he portrays as his huge sibling: "He's outstanding amongst other players on the planet and I cherish him to bits. He's helped me immensely and I earnestly wish him each satisfaction on the planet."

As of now in time, that joy appears as the World Cup Trophy and the adidas Bronze Ball Award. Having the last word and wearing an expansive smile, the saint of great importance shouted a couple of basic words that currently whole up what has turned into a sublime universal vocation: "Vive la republique et vive la France!"

Back home in Sweden, the country has been in a grasp of finish World Cup fever. The Swedish national group shirts sold out in stores and on the web, millions watched the matches before the TV, conveying the whole nation to a stop. Furthermore, regardless of whether it's late spring, the average Christmas tree - spruce trees - have been more famous than any other time in recent memory.

The reason being that Sweden's chief Andreas Granqvist is nicknamed 'Granen' which means Spruce in Swedish. A gathering was even begun by a few fans to purchase the greatest conceivable cluster of blossoms for Granqvist and his better half as their second tyke was conceived the day preceding the quarterfinal.

Team Reporter Analysis
Simon Massart, with Belgium
Until Verthongen’s goal, Belgium had failed to demonstrate the mental resilience demanded by this sort of match at a World Cup. But from that moment on, with the Japanese perhaps paying dearly for their earlier exertions, the Belgians upped their game. The team went through a rollercoaster of emotions, right up until the wonderful counter-attack that paved the way to victory. And then came relief.

It’s a very disappointing result for Japan, having gone two goals up. Everything seemed to be under control, but an error by goalkeeper Kawashima led to the first goal. From that moment on, the team lost the tempo and rhythm of the match. They quickly conceded the equaliser, before the cruellest of third goals. It's very sad, but that’s football. One mistake can change a game. The Samurai Blue must learn from this.

• He played more minutes than anyone in the qualifiers, despite not being a first choice at Arsenal
• He has now gone two matches without conceding in Russia

By Alejandra Rueda with Colombia 

Strain. There is no other word for it. Colombia's Group H coordinate with Senegal was to be determined all the way. In any case, with neither group ready to state their predominance, it was the west Africans who appreciated the advantage of realizing that a 0-0 attract would be sufficient to seal their capability for the Round of 16. Then again, while it stayed goalless, the destiny of Los Cafeteros at the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ would rely upon the outcome amongst Poland and Japan.

It took until the 74th moment for the gridlock to at last be broken. Yerry Mina jumped to head in the main objective of the diversion, and with that Colombia grabbed a valuable ticket to the second round appropriate out of their adversaries' hands.

Not out of the blue, Mina rose to the event in Russia. Be that as it may, he was not the only one. All through the match, and especially in the end arranges as The Lions of Teranga squeezed for an equalizer, David Ospina was shake strong for Colombia. Two first-half spares had just guaranteed that his group went into the break on even terms. What's more, better was to come later on, when two overcome mediations in two minutes by the goalkeeper had the Samara Arena cheering in appreciation.

Initially, Mbaye Niang's great right-footed shot was beaten away by Ospina in the 77th moment. At that point, following a corner, he wound up hindering the ball ideal on hold after Sadio Mane's header ricocheted towards objective off a Colombian protector.

Keeping the confidence – and clean sheets 

"Senegal gave it their everything until the specific end to assert capability, however luckily for us we could hang on," the Colombian goalkeeper told FIFA.

In a veritable win big or bust apparatus for the South American side, Ospina demonstrated his standard initiative and association in the Colombia objective.

"Those of us at the back, the four or more Carlitos (Sanchez), stay concentrated on helping the group keep a perfect sheet. In these competitions, that is urgent."

Notwithstanding the massive obligation on his shoulders, the goalkeeper did not give the weight a chance to influence his execution. "We needed to keep confidence in our arrangement, that we could score at any minute," pronounced the Colombia No1.


Mina's objective came exactly at the opportune time. The Colombian fans, until then obviously apprehensive, burst into festivity and went ahead to cheer their legends home. However, while his partners celebrated before their loving open, Ospina did as such alone in his six-yard box, before the objective that he had so painstakingly ensured.

Be that as it may, don't question the delight he felt at having accomplished what his group had embarked to do. "[I'm] satisfied with the demeanor, the longing that this group dependably appear," he finished up.

• ​Japan squeezed through to the last 16 yesterday
• They will now face Belgium in Rostov
• Nagatomo assesses their chances and campaign thus far

By Hidetoshi Suzuki with Japan 

It is a rarity indeed that a thrashing closes in festivities, yet Japan yesterday developed as the special case to the run the show. In spite of the fact that the Samurai Blue lost 1-0 to Poland in Volgograd, their adventures prior in the crusade - and a better Fair Play focuses adjust than Senegal - saw them progress in front of the Poles and Lions of Teranga, both of whom sit higher in the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking.

For Yuto Nagatomo, who is playing in his third FIFA World Cup™ with Japan, that accomplishment of achieving the Round of 16 is more than deserving of celebrating in.

"The other three groups in the gathering have more quality than us and each amusement was troublesome," Nagatomo told FIFA.com. "The outcome (capability) is something we can be happy about."

Nagatomo knows superior to anything most not to underestimate such accomplishments. At Brazil 2014, he was a piece of a Japan group that fell at the primary obstacle after one draw and two annihilations. Anyway, what has the distinction been between that battle and this one?

"We recognize what we are prepared to do now, and we have played persistently," he said. "This time, each player has done the fundamental thing of continuing running until the finish of the diversion. Furthermore, we have been joined as a group. I imagine that is the fundamental motivation behind why we've experienced this time."

Gotten some information about his own improvement since 2014, he was more unobtrusive. "Specifically, I have not enhanced a great deal but rather I'm generally helped and upheld by my colleagues, and that feels superb," he said. "I might want to express gratitude toward them for that."

Japan will now confront Belgium, who sit an elevated third in the most recent World Ranking, on 2 July in Rostov.

Silva lets his football do the talking

• ​Thiago Silva back at the heart of Brazil's side
• Defender was in international wilderness during qualifying
• Coach Tite has put faith in the 33-year-old

By Giancarlo Giampietro with Brazil

"How might it be that you're a star at your club but then not some portion of the Brazil group?" 

That was only one of the inquiries went for Thiago Silva on more than event amid his chance out of the Brazil group, in the beginning times of the qualifiers for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™, when Dunga was in control.

Any individual who saw the focal safeguard seal his side's 2-0 thrashing of Serbia in Moscow on Wednesday with an ordering close post header could have been excused for asking why that inquiry even must be asked in any case. Add to that his brilliant show at the back, which, as he reminded FIFA.com, is basically what he is there for, and his time of segregation from the national side turns out to be for all intents and purposes difficult to get it.

"I sense that it's a vocation well done, and not in light of the objective but rather in light of the fact that we're guarding great right now," said the middle half. "We played well again and we've gone another diversion without surrendering. What's more, when you score in a circumstance like that, it makes you considerably more glad."

A Seleção will go into their Round-of-16 tie with Mexico unbeaten in their last 14 coordinates and having lost just once in 24 since Tite assumed control as mentor, yielding only six objectives in that time. This group knows how to assault, and it additionally knows how to keep things tight at the back.

Looked with a rebellious Serbia side, Brazil picked ownership of the ball as the best type of safeguard. And in addition being simple on the eye, it was an approach that additionally guaranteed them a generally smooth ride in the principal half.

Things changed toward the beginning of the second half, be that as it may, as the Balkan side squeezed for an equalizer, pushing the Brazilians against the ropes for an awkward ten-minute spell. "That is global football for you," Silva clarified. "You know there will be a period when you will endure. The most imperative thing is that the group could do that."

Scattering the cynics 
Silva talked with head held high and shoulders loose, and not without justifiable reason: beside helping his side record a second back to back world finals win out of the blue since the gathering stage at South Africa 2010 and move into the last 16, he has likewise additionally solidified his place in the national group after his spell on the sidelines.

Despite the fact that he missed the semi-last thrashing to Germany in 2014, Silva still came in for feedback. Seeing him, the group chief, crying after the nerve-destroying punishment shootout win against Chile at the Mineirao wound up one of the characterizing pictures of a pained crusade.

All of a sudden, one of the best focus parts of his age was considered to be never again capable, which is the sort of thing that can occur in a nation where football is viewed as significantly more than a diversion.

Furthermore, it was on that repeating subject – the absence of confidence in his capacities that had obstinate him from that point forward – that he talked at a public interview in England amid Brazil's arrangements for Russia 2018: "When you don't win, you get called a disappointment."

He included: "That is how I am [an enthusiastic person], yet the most critical thing is that it's never influenced me on the pitch. I endeavor to be as engaged as I would so be able to I can carry out my business to the best of my capacities."

The feeling in plain view in Moscow on Wednesday was unadulterated happiness, yet communicated by somebody who knows extremely well that with regards to Brazil, elation can quickly offer approach to sadness.

That is the main clarification why a middle portion of his capacity came to spend such a long time in the wild, a situation that Tite step by step tended to, with evident advantages. At long last, that alarming inquiry has gotten a decided answer.

Germany have been thumped out of the World Cup after a 2-0 thrashing to South Korea in Kazan.

Germany have been thumped out of the World Cup after a 2-0 thrashing to South Korea in Kazan. 

The 2014 champions have been wiped out at the gathering stages and neglect to achieve the quarter finals for just the second time in their history.

South Korea led the pack three minutes into stoppage time when Young Gwon-Kim completed from short proximity, just to see the objective chalked off for offside and later granted after VAR survey.
