With the 2018 World Cup finals coming up on Sunday, the members of the teams from France and Croatia have been under the public eye recently.
We decided to take a look at the players and give you the truly important news: the most stylish men from each squad.
Here’s what we found.
Team Croatia
Duje Caleta-Car is a center-back for the team, born in Šibenik, Croatia; the stylish 21-year-old made the 32-man squad for the national team for the first time this year.
His go-to look? Sneakers paired with distressed jeans and a casual tee, usually accompanied by a bomber jacket to beat the cooler European temperatures.
Ivan Rakitic, a midfielder, and his wife are a fashion power couple. His Instagram is filled with shots of the two of them (and their adorable daughters) rocking sleek outfits and always a in different pair of trendy shoes.
The 30-year-old seems to love a nice set of white sneakers and definitely has no shortage of the style.
Watch on FN
Midfielder Mateo Kovacic’s style can be described as hipster-chic. (With eyes like that, though, he could honestly pull off any look he tried.)
The Real Madrid player is a Nike rep, with his slip-ons to his cleats decked out in that signature swoosh.

Team France
Presnel Kimpembe is a mean dresser. Seen below in a Versace jacket, the 22-year-old defender ranks in our top three for the men of the French team.
Kimpembe plays regularly for Paris-Saint German and is a Frenchman through and through, as we can tell from his Euro-chic closet.
Florian Thauvin’s Yeezys and Givenchy sweatshirt are just two of many reasons the winger from Orléans, France is a mini style icon.
The Adidas-partnered 25-year-old has the sort of style that one would see all around the streets of Paris Men’s Fashion Week: relaxed with fashion-forward elements incorporated.
Samuel Umtiti, a center-back for the team, actually originates from Cameroon but that doesn’t mean he didn’t adapt to French style standards. Another supporter of Givenchy (Frenchmen love their native brands), the 24-year-old also has a dope sneaker collection.
Seen below in a pair from the Converse x Off-White collaboration, Umtiti has to have one of the coolest assortments of sneaks in the league (also one of the best smiles).
