The World Cup TV ratings are in for the entire tournament, including the incredible World Cup final on Sunday — and they don’t look good for Fox.

It’s already a few days after the 2018 World Cup, and if you’re like us, you're still hanging on to anything that's related to the best tournament in sports.

You would think that all would be well in the country. So much so that one French fan decided to capitalize on all the positivity in the country, as he proposed to his girlfriend.
Heimir Hallgrímsson has announced he will be leaving his position as Iceland manager after seven historic years. Hallgrímsson, a trained dentist, helped the national team achieve goals that were perhaps at one point just fantasies for such a tiny nation.
A kids World Cup final reenactment is going viral on the internet.
It's hardly surprising, since the France vs Croatia World Cup final was one of the most entertaining in history.
