Luka Modric was on the losing side at the Luzhniki on Sunday in Moscow. He was rewarded for his individual performance, however, picking up the Player of the Tournament award. Modric, at 32 years of age, dragged his country to the World Cup final after a difficult group stage and three knockout ties that all went to extra time - two of them went to penalties. The Real Madrid midfielder played every minute of his side's seven games and score two goals. His teammates and manager were talking up his credentials for the award before the final but the former refugee who rose to become one of the greatest footballers in the world was only concerned, however, with lifting the World Cup. He couldn't manage that and the player of the World Cup award might not mean much in light of that but it is a sign of just how influential he was for the underdogs who nobody gave a chance. Mbappe seals Young Player of the Tournament It hardly needed confirmation but Kylian Mbappe sealed the Young Player of the Tournament on Sunday. He scored France's fourth becoming the second youngest player to ever score in the World Cup final and finished the competition with four goals and also became the third youngest player to ever appear in a World Cup final. He became the youngest teen since Pele to score a brace when he did just that against Argentina. He was magnificent throughout and luckily for fans of football, this is just the beginning of what will be a long career of award, trophies and plaudits.<doc-sep>The 2018 World Cup is now officially over after France beat Croatia 4-2 in the final. It was a monthlong celebration of fun football, unexpected results, and an overall better tournament than just about anybody had been expecting. One of the less surprising things was the good showing from Belgium’s Golden Generation, who may not have won it all, but finished third, which is their nation’s best showing ever. In addition to those bronze medals, Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois get to take individual awards home as well. The Belgium Captain was named the second best player at the tournament, winning the Silver Ball. Croatia’s Luka Modrić collected the Golden Ball, while Antoine Griezmann finished third (Bronze Ball? ). Meanwhile, Hazard’s teammate both at national and (still) at club level, Thibaut Courtois was named the best goalkeeper in the tournament, winning the Golden Glove. Other award winners included Harry Kane (Golden Boot with 6 goals), Kylian Mbappé (Best Young Player), and the Spanish national team (Fair Play Award, the concept on which that is based is a load of nonsense if we learned anything in this World Cup, but whatever). Congrats to all, and especially Hazard and Courtois. Now, sign the contracts!<doc-sep>With France winning the World Cup, it's time for some individual awards to be handed out. One of those, of course, will now go to England's Harry Kane, who finished the 2018 Cup with six goals. Only the own goal outscored Kane at this tournament. He was challenged by the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Romelu Lukaku and Denis Cheryshev -- not to mention Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe -- but a dominant group stage put Kane on top.

July 16: France 4, Croatia 2 It was the usual suspects for France, with Paul Pogba (65'), Kylian Mbappe (59') and Antoine Griezmann (38') all netting one for the French. An own goal from Mario Mandzukic (18') makes four for Les Bleus. On the Croatian side, Mandzukic (69') redeemed himself while Ivan Perisic (28') had a gorgeous goal of his own. July 14: Belgium 2, England 0 Harry Kane was unable to add to his World Cup-leading total in the third-place match against Belgium. Thomas Meunier (4') finished a lovely Nacer Chadli cross to put Belgium ahead in the opening minutes of the match, then Eden Hazard (82') put the match to bed late for his third goal of the cup. July 11: Croatia 2, England 1 Croatia is through to the World Cup, and it defeated a potent Three Lions team to get there. England's Kieran Trippier (5') opened the scoring up with a beautiful bending free kick. Ivan Perisic (68'), however, had the equalizer for Croatia in the second half, before Mario Mandzukic (109') scored the eventual game-winner for Croatia. July 10: France 1, Belgium 0 France's match with Belgium was riddled with chances, so it's shocking there's only one goal to add. However, Samuel Umtiti's (51') gorgeous header on an equally gorgeous set piece was the only scoring in this World Cup semifinal was the lone goal of the match. France will now advance to its first World Cup final since 2006. France has won it all once, in 1998 as the host country. Now it looks to do the same against Russia. July 7: Croatia 2, Russia 2 (Croatia wins 4-3 in PKs) Denis Cheryshev (31') put the host nation ahead with a rocket in the first half but that lead didn't last long, as Mario Mandzukic found Andrej Kramaric (39') for the equalizer eight minutes later. That would be all the scoring in regulation, but Croatia looked like it punched its ticket to semifinals on a Domagoj Vida (101') header. Mario Fernandes (115') managed to pull Russia level with mere minutes left. In penalty kicks, Russia lost its composure. Fyodor Smolov tried a cheeky lofted shot to open it, and Danijel Subasic read it well to save it. Fernandez went from hero to villain, missing the goal completely on his opportunity, as Ivan Rakitic sent his team into the next round. July 7: England 2, Sweden 0 Harry Kane was unable to increase his lead in the race for the Golden Boot on Saturday, but England did more than enough to move on to the semifinals of the World Cup. First it was defender Harry Maguire (30') with a brilliant header on a corner kick, then Dele Alli (59') finished a nice ball in from Jesse Lingard. July 6: Belgium 2, Brazil 1 Belgium is moving on to the semifinals after an incredible performance against one of the tournament favorites. That was thanks in part to some help from superstar Kevin De Bruyne finding the back of the net for the first time in Russia. Although Brazil made it interesting in the second half with a goal from Renato Augusto, the Red Devils are heading to their first semifinal since 1986. July 6: France 2, Uruguay 0 France is heading to the semifinals after yet another impressive performance against Uruguay in which Antoine Griezmann (61') buried his third goal this tournament. Raphael Varane (40') opened the scoring with a nifty header on a beautiful ball in, punching France's ticket through. July 3: England 1, Colombia 1 (England wins 4-3 in PKs) England finally broke the PK Curse with a win over Colombia in penalties. Harry Kane (57') started the scoring with a penalty kick goal, and Yerry Mina (90+3') had yet another header that sent the match to penalty kicks. Eventually, Eric Dier hit the game-winner for England in penalties. July 3: Sweden 1, Switzerland 0 That was definitely a soccer match. One of the best things to say about this match for Sweden is that it won, with Emil Forsberg (66') giving the Swedes their only goal of the match. As for whether or not the goal should have been credited to Forsberg, well... July 2: Belgium 3, Japan 2 Belgium gave us the quarterfinal match we expected, but the manner was definitely not according to plan. Japan jumped in front with two goals from Genki Haraguch (48') and Takashi Inui (52'). Belgium, however, stormed back with three goals to stun the Blue Samurai. Jan Vertonghen (69') and Marouane Fellaini (74') tied the match, while Nacer Chandli scored the buzzer-beater that put Belgium through. July 2: Brazil 2, Mexico 0 After a scoreless first half, Mexico wasn't able to hold off Brazil's formidable attack. The first goal came from Neymar Jr. (51') on a brilliant dropoff to Willian. The next was from Robert Firmino (88') on an easy cross from Neymar. July 1: Croatia 1, Denmark 1 (Croatia wins 3-2 in PKs) Denmark's Mathias Jorgensen (1') scored in the opening minute of the match before Mario Mandzukic (4') found an equalizer for Croatia minutes later. Neither team found a breakthrough in regulation and extra time. Croatia went on to win 3-2 in penalty-kick shootout to advance to the quarterfinals. Ivan Rakitic nailed to winning PK to send Croatia through. July 1: Russia 1, Spain 1 (Russia wins 4-3 in PKs) A Sergey Ignashevich (12') gave Spain the early edge before Artem Dzyuba (41') leveled things up for Russia from the penalty spot. Neither team could find a breakthrough and the match went to extra time and penalty kicks. Russian keeper Igor Akinfeev saved PKs from Koke and Iago Aspas to stun one of the favorites to win it all. June 30: Uruguay 2, Portugal 1 Edinson Cavani (7') scored his first of two goals before many people could get comfortable in their seats, giving Uruguay a 1-0 lead it would take into halftime. Pepe (55') leveled things for Portugal on a header delivered from the corner, but Cavani (62') put his team in front for good with a one-touch curler minutes later. June 30: France 4, Argentina 3 The first match of the knockout stage delivered on Saturday when the two powerhouses produced one of the most entertaining games of the cup. It also gave us some some of the prettiest goals so far when Angel Di Maria curled in Argentina's first goal from about 30 yards out. But not to be outdone, Benjamin Pavard buried a potential goal of the tournament of his own at the beginning of the second half. In the end, France's youngest star, Kylian Mbappe put things to bed with a pair of goals on a couple of great moves. June 28: Belgium 1, England 0 In a match that neither team was particularly interested in winning, Belgium managed to find the back of the net to advance out of Group G as the winners.<doc-sep>
