This World Cup has been a footballing feast. The big stars have shone, the little guys have punched above their weight, the Socceroos gave us reason to dream and ultimately we will have a highly anticipated final between the top two ranked nations.

In the last few months, Kylian Mbappe has been booed by his club fans, the target of racist attacks from a politician, and is the focus of global expectation, and yet he is gliding through this World Cup with a smile.
