Eyes around the world will be fixated on their televisions Sunday for the 2018 FIFA World Cup final between France and Croatia. The highly anticipated match pits two of the most talented national teams on the planet against each other on the biggest stage possible.

The match begins at 10 a.m. CT and will be broadcast live on FOX in English and Telemundo in Spanish. There will also be a live stream available on FOX Sports’ website.

Kylian Mbappe and the French team have blown away expectations during their run to the final. Mbappe, 19, looks like one of the premier young talents in the game. Another big effort in the final could solidify his place as one of the world’s next big superstars, winning the World Cup title that’s eluded the likes of Neymar, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in their respective careers.

Standing in the way of the French is Croatia, a country that shouldn’t be brushed aside even though its population is smaller than the state of Indiana. Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic lead a very impressive team that came from behind to beat England, 2-1, in the semifinals. That relentlessness should be a challenge for the youthful French side.

France last won the World Cup on home soil in 1998. This is Croatia’s first appearance in the final and first chance at winning it all. Here’s how to tune in Sunday morning.

Clark Street closures for outdoor dining were great during the pandemic. Now? Not so much.

Businesses and neighborhood associations in River North and nearby want the city to end the dining program because of traffic congestion, delays to first responders and other headaches caused by closing off a major street artery, a local restaurant executive writes.

Amgen plows ahead with costly, highly toxic cancer dosing despite FDA challenge

High doses become routine patient care even when they make patients so ill that they skip doses or stop taking the drugs. “There’s a gap in FDA’s authority that results in patients getting excess doses of a drug at excess costs,” says Dr. Mark Ratain, a University of Chicago oncologist.
