The just concluded FIFA world cup in Russia was a spectacular one though full of surprises... I personally didnt follow up all the matches to avoid hypertension.
I didnt completely miss everything tho'because l was always updated with all the happenings in Russia through Superspot,social medias,radio shows and on a discord channel.
So below is the overall break down of what went down in Russia,as well as some historic adventures of the world cup:
