Who were the scorers of France in the 2018 World Cup final vs Croatia?
In Russia, France was also a top favorite. They validated their potential with a first place in their group over Denmark, Australia, and Peru. The French then took down Argentina in the round of 16, Uruguay in the quarterfinals, and Belgium in the semifinals to go up against Croatia in the most relevant challenge.
They ended up with a 4-2 on their favor. The scorers for France in the 2018 World final were Croatian striker Mario Mandzukic on an own goal, Antoine Griezmann on a penalty kick, Paul Pogba, and Kylian Mbappe closed the score. Ivan Perisic tied things at 1-1, and Mandzukic got the 2-4 for them. Since both Griezmann and Mbappe are still on the team, they will sure try to repeat that performance.
