The World Cup is coming to an end and with the final approaching, we have created a compilation of some of the players who will be playing in this monumental event.
With fewer players involved, it is important to focus on being able to quickly identify who the French and the Croatian players are. With France being back in the World Cup final for the first time since Zinedine Zidane's headbutt in 2006, this game might be one for the record books. Croatia too has an enormous historical weight on this tiny country's shoulders.
So, in order to make it easier for everyone to recognize the players from both of these teams playing in this historic event, we have put together a list of the French and Croatian players next to their World Cup lookalikes for helpful recognition. From animals to cartoon characters to celebrities, these comparisons will provide another tool to identify players in a more effortless and efficient way during the final on Sunday.
