This was the best game of the World Cup.
And one player, the best on the field.
Ivan Perišić.
Out of nothing, header-assisting Croatia into the final.
Tonight, Perišić played the best individual game of the tournament.
Stealing the Modrić -Rakitić spotlight, becoming Croatia’s hero for the night.

Earlier in the second half, he tied the game with one of the best, weirdest goals all tournament.
The Boot of God.
Credit to Perisic for the determination to get there but still can't believe this wasn't called for a high foot. pic.twitter.com/MDSAZqntm9

Then, in extra time, this assist.
"Flexibility is strength" and Ivan Perisic header assist to seal the semi-final game vs. England is a great demonstration of that. #CRO #WorldCupFinal pic.twitter.com/AcSeYzJgvo

Making play after play after play.

Punching a ticket into the World Cup final.
