I feel like for someone who was that young, he was 19 at a tournament, to do what he did, I don't know how he could have been looked over, especially winning the tournament as well.

But Mbappe won the thing at 19.

And his performance against Argentina was astonishing.

Yes.

But on Modric and legacy, I think that Ballon d'Or obviously helps legacy quite a lot anyway.

But the way he's been kind of the figurehead for this Croatia team for coming up to 20 years, I think says much more than the Ballon d'Or does anyway.

Because everyone just sees him as the staple of Croatian football.

Yeah.

And I think what's been really good throughout the tournament for them is obviously in the Cape Verde game that we mentioned, that Laminia Ma didn't start that game.

He wasn't ready.

So he's someone along with the team who's had to, you know, grow into the tournament and

I'm looking forward to, in terms of Spain and Portugal, the matchup between Yamal and Nuno Mendes, because we know how often Nuno Mendes likes to get forward, how attacking he is.

Will he do the same when he knows Lamine Yamal is going to be waiting for any opportunity to get in behind him or face him up once his legs have got a bit tired in the game?

And also another reason why I'm liking that matchup so much, so much in terms of the nations is

is 2018 Spain versus Portugal, the Ronaldo hat trick.

I think Euro 2012 as well, they played each other and Ronaldo actually had a disallowed goal because Nani stole it off him on the line.

I don't know if people remember that.

Cristiano Ronaldo does.

He definitely does.

But I feel like whenever it's Spain versus Portugal, there is always, you know, big moments.
