The FIFA World Cup is a men's football event that takes place every four years with 32 teams selected. This was the 21st FIFA World Cup.

The World Cup this year had been held in different stadiums in Russia. It took about $14.2 billion, making it the most expensive World Cup in FIFA history. This was also the first World Cup where VAR (Video Assistant Referee) was being used and second where there was the use of Goal Line Technology.

The stadiums were in different cities like Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Sochi, etc. The World Cup Finals were held in the Luzhniki stadium in Moscow. The World Cup started on the 14th of June and ended on the 15th of July.

Isn't the World Cup so cool! So, how about some crazy moments in the World Cup?
