Good afternoon, and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the World Cup Final! Yes, the day is here - France face Croatia as the greatest show on earth draws to a close.

Subisic claims that one, though, picking it up low. There have been questions over whether he's actually fit today after seemingly picking up a hamstring knock of some type in the semifinal.

Fakir is fouled by Rakitic, and he's looking a bit bemused. Free kick to France. They won't hurry to take this. It's wide on the right and Pogba is preparing to take it.

Rakitic takes an elaborate pratfall after the referee prevents him from taking a quick free kick. When he's finally permitted to whip it in, Lloris claims without challenge.

And Pjaca gets his first touch, running in towards the far post, but his first touch lets him down. Meanwhile, poor Strinic is limping his lonely way round the pitch.

And Strinic is replaced by Pjaca. A change apiece.

Fekir is coming on for Olivier Giroud.

Mbappe on the break again, and Croatia put a stop to it but can't break with the same speed they had earlier - that extra 90 minutes they've played throughout the tournament might be taking their toll.

The official stats now say that Croatia have had 14 shots on target to France's seven.

CLOSE! Rakitic gets his shot through a forest of France legs but wide of the post.

There are now scores of security people lining the perimeter of the pitch after thata earlier invasion.

Modric, bless him, is trying to launch an attack from the back and orchestrate it all himself.

Lovren slips on the touchline and concedes a throw to France.

Is that error on Lloris's mind? He looks reluctant to claim the ball now, and is tentative in the box.

Pogba, who's really grown into the game this second half, gives away a free kick in the midfield, and Croatia are ready to break.

Again, France are trying to slow it down and see the clock run its course.

Matuidi is replaced by Tolisso.

Rebic is replaced by Kramaric.

That was simply bizarre!
