Unfortunately in Croatian football, media report, there is a close nearness to fashist and ultranationalist opinion camps, and several Croatian players in the past have shown fashist greetings and sympathised with this ideology and ultranatioanalism, media further write. This gives the success of Croatia at this Cup a foul off-taste.
However,
Les Bleus have a defence that is incredibly tough to crack, and they have the by far strongest offensive in the tournamernt and can switch from defence to all-out attack within splits of a second, it seems.

. France to me is the clear favourite. The Force is strong in them this year.
