Modric Widely Hated In Croatia
While there is much love for Modric in this thread, there isn't in his own native country of Croatia. Indeed many fans hate him, in part due to scandalous court testimony that may result in perjury charges against Modric win or lose today:

I am a bit fascinated by the large amount of court cases and litigation that arises from professional soccer contracts and transfers. The USA might very well be the most litigious country on Earth, yet we never have the type of litigation in professional football, baseball or basketball that we see in professional soccer. There are never massive fights and pissing matches with taxing authorities, or jail sentences for agents and handlers. I don’t understand what is going on in the Ronaldo/Modric legal situations. To me it’s really simple. You have players who are worth a large amount of money. We all understand this. There is a large pie and we all understand that multiple persons have claims to pieces of that pie. This is all capable of being figured out. In the USA and Canada for the most part we figure it out, we provide our athletes and their handlers and agents with the pie slice based on what well defined sports rules and contracts say they get. Nobody goes to jail. Nobody pisses a large urine stream on the athlete due to tax issues and has the player piss back and leave in a huff. I don’t understand it. Someone from Europe has to explain it to me. It seems to me like totally unnecessary fucking nonsense.
Considering that Croatia has nearly the same population as Montreal i'll be cheering for the Croatian underdogs in this World Cup final.
Modric is so short haha I like that. He is just 2 centimeter taller then me 
I hope it will be a great game that does not finish on shootout please!!
I am rooting for France but not as much as if opponent was germany, or brazil or Italy or any other then I do not like
I do enjoy France's style of play. Usually makes it for great game like against Belgium.
Cheers,

Yellow card on Kante leads to Perisic goal. That foul looked unnecessary, I don’t think Kante was looking at where he was running, was watching the ball.
Nope Persic clearly blocked the ball with his hand. That ball was going in front of the net where France would probably have touch it before the goalie. Good call.
Great game!
BTW ... didn't read all of the above but the closer equivalent to Modric is Pogba, both midfield playmakers. Kante's responsibilities are mostly defensive, to chase-down opponents and break-up their play ....

Absolute joke of a call ... does not react to the ball, is not in an unnatural position, just a foot behind when the ball is flicked on ... absolute joke .... the ref couldn't decide himself; if you need two minutes and several looks at the replay, it's not a pen.
