Unfortunately, the feedback from most vendors is that their sales objectives are not always fulfilled. First thing to note, is that you not selling as a vendor at an event doesn’t mean other vendors didn’t sell out or achieve their goals.

The 19 year old is the second teenager, only after Pele in 1958 to score in a world cup finals. His goal put the nail in the coffin for any hopes of a Croatian comeback in a match that ended 4-2. Curious to note is that Mbappe wasn't even born when France last won the world cup. France caught a lucky break early with a header by Manduzkic into Subacic net, which was an ill fated attempt to keep the ball out of reach from the prowling French attackers. The second goal came from a penalty taken by Greizmann which was awarded via the virtually assisted referee due to a hand ball by Perisic whom had only just scored to bring the game level at 1-1 Paul Pogba showed his dexterity by scor...

Saint Petersburg's stadium  witnessed one of the most keenly contested matches in the world cup, as France stops Belgium's run towards the world cup final. The Belgian team did a good job of holding onto to the ball, but it was the quick pace of the French team which saw Mbappe, Pogba, Oliver Giroud, Tolisso that put much pressure on Thibaut Courtois on every counter attack.

The Belgians lose with the heads held high and will paly the loser of the England -Croatia match in the 3 rd place match. .........................................
