Rakitic Chooses Country over his own life in the 2018 Fifa World Cup

The 2018 Fifa world Cup 1st runner up with Croatia Ivan Rakitic displayed a magnificent ball play in the just concluded 2018 Fifa World Cup.

The Croatian midfielder and play maker showed the world and his club side that he is a world class midfield marshal, playing alongside the best midfielder in the world Modric.

Ivan Rakitic did one thing that many football players would not have done. It was shocking to hear that a day before the match between Croatia vs England, the Barcelona and Croatian midfielder was seriously sick, and was shaking.

It was serious that the whole technical crew was disturbed, Modric was also disturbed alongside other team mates. Missing a player of his class at such stage, was your car breaking down in the middle of the road where no vehicles passes.

To the greatest surprise of everyone, Rakitic stood up and said "I will play the match" it was a relieve although the team was not sure he will do well.

As God will have it, Rakitic stood up with that state of sickness and played against England, even when the sickness broke him down during the game, he still went on to play.

That spirit motivated his team mates to win England and qualify for the 2018 Fifa World Cup Finals.

That shows that he loves his Country more than himself. After the Fifa world cup, Rakitic went on an outing with his woman.
