Luka Modric…
– Grandad was shot dead aged 6
– Family became refugees in a warzone whilst growing up
– Coaches said he was too weak & too shy to play football.
– Leads Croatia to their first #WorldCup final
– Wins the Golden Ball

Croatia was the main champion, and her president, who she is so kind and humanity!
Sometimes the wins do not matter, it was important, that #Croatia has won our hearts!
Really they were stronger and better than #FRA, but That was a game,and #CRO was unluck. #WorldCupFinal #Iran pic.twitter.com/tvEFLoqPZq— mrj :) (@MRJprofile) July 15, 2018
