Russia 2018 - An Unforgettable World Cup

This is the most emotionally gratifying world event in 28 years of world cups. Because finally, the battle for glory has gone beyond the chosen few. Finally, the children of immigrants, childhoods lost in war brutalities, the homeless and the luckless,, everyone had an equal chance.

*Croatia* was born out of the Balkan wars. Close to 15000 died in the independence war, many of them slaughtered by the Serbian army. More than 5 lacs were rendered homeless in one of the most brutal wars seen by humanity. Croatia's success in this world cup worked as a healing balm for a nation still recovering from ravages of war. *Luka Modric* who has been a real star in this campaign had seen his grandfather Luka executed when he was 6 years old. The house he lived in was burnt to the ground. *His family lived as a refugee for 7 years.* Amidst incessant dropping of bombs, football was a way to escape reality.

This is a story of football but don't you think that the story is also of life.
*It gives message that everyone can dream and hope in times of despair.*
