Throughout the tournament, there have been a lot of surprises, including an unexpected win from Japan against German or Brazil, the best country of football in the world, getting defeated by Croatia. However, the greatest match had to be the finals, where Argentina faced France. Even before the actual match started, there was a lot of anticipation and excitement.
