What drives us to do these things? I don't know. Maybe it's me signing Last Rose of Croatia (badly) in pouring rain. It's the exact same thing that drives Perisic, Rebic and Mandzukic to do all that incredible stuff. You'll never understand how and why unless you're one of us.
Thanks to everyone who supported Croatia in the final. You supported what's good in this world.
A special thanks goes to England for what turned out to be the best game of this tournament, for playing football like men are supposed to, and for the honest comments by Lineker and Shearer regarding that penalty kick against France. See you soon in the Nations League.
