When Germany was knocked out, we were greatly surprised and astonished. Then Spain, Portugal, Argentina, England. When it came to Brazil, I remember what my friend, the Brazilian teacher, PGM said to me two months ago. He said to me that Brazil was not like before. That golden team we used to know would not repeat itself. We were outwitted and out battled by Belgium. He was logical and I was too sentimental to think about the matter.
That was why I called this tournament of the world cup by that name, the giants' conqueror. I was thinking that either Belgium or Croatia would be the black horse of the world cup owing to their unique style of playing. The French were atrocious and mysterious in their plans and they kept their defending way to win the games, one after the other.
Despite the defeat, the Croatians were heroes and that Croatian midfielder Luka Modric really shone brighthtly. Griezmann and his team breathlessly scored and won the world cup, but the most interesting event about the tournament was the three presidents, Vladimir Putin, Emmanuel Macron and the lovely president of Croatia, Kolinda Kitarovic. They really attracted the attention. One of them took the attention more than the other two. Can you guess that president?
