Players to watch
Kylian Mbappe, forward, France

Mbappe, 19, has been a star prospect for a long time, but he announced himself to the world against Argentina with a glittering two-goal performance. His incredible speed - England great Rio Ferdinand called it "illegal" - combined with his ball control while moving at such pace makes him nearly impossible to defend. And when he has the time and space to put some extra oomph into a shot, it's probably going to find the back of the net.

Modric's world-class play on the ball is what made Croatia so dominant in group play and helped his club team Real Madrid to three consecutive UEFA Champions League titles. Without Modric at his best, Croatia struggles to control the tempo. Teammate Ivan Rakitic said it can feel like Modric is from a "different planet".
