62 matches after, it’s down to the final two games; more important of which is the final of the biggest football event known to mankind.

It’s been an eventful tournament so far. From a number of goals being scored to shocking exits, surprising score-lines and all, the journey to this final has been worth the while.

Although the countdown to the Qatar 2022 World Cup will resume starting next week, the final between France and Croatia will have to take centre stage first this Sunday.

It can be said that this has been a surprising World Cup… one that has produced two surprising finalists in France and Croatia. As we anticipate the final, here are five things you need to know about this final:
