After nearly a month of World Cup action in Russia, France will face Croatia in the final match.
Croatia beat England 2–1 on Wednesday in extra time to advance. This is Croatia's first World Cup final. England hasn't been in the tournament final since 1966.
Croatia, despite being down 0–1 coming out of halftime, managed to tie the game up in the second half and score with only 10 minutes left in the game.
England scored in the first five minutes with a free kick.
