World Cups are monumental feats of event management. Russia 2018 included 11 cities and 12 very imaginative stadia located between Kaliningrad on the coast of the Baltic Sea and Ekaterinburg, at the base of the Ural Mountains. The tournament is estimated to have cost around US$14.2 billion and it finished in Moscow's revamped Luzhniki Stadium with France beating Croatia 4-2 to claim football's greatest prize. A fitting end to a 64-match feast of football.
