Well, that was about as exciting a World Cup final as you are ever going to see. Kudos to both teams for not sitting back and playing a boring game, too afraid to make a mistake. And speaking of mistakes, oh man, what a goal by Mandzukic chasing down the goalie. If Croatia could have gotten a third goal after that, the end of the game would have been ridiculously tense. I guess three games in a row going to extra time wore on them too much though, and you could see they had nothing left at the end. Congrats to Modric for getting the golden ball for being the best player of the tournament. Well deserved.
