It is a weekend that will change the lives of 46 players, as the France and Croatia squads face off in the World Cup final in Moscow.
Which will triumph is anyone's guess, with the French speed and clinical finishing up against dogged Balkan determination and skill. It promises to be a real spectacle, so we have Johnny Ward in studio to give us his thoughts on where the trophy will reside. It's coming home, but we haven't quite decided where home is yet.
A big weekend of Super 8s action means we will be previewing the competition with Mike Quirke.
Wimbledon finishes this weekend, having been almost entirely overshadowed by events in Russia. But the focus will be on the Lawn Tennis Association for at least a portion of the weekend, as we look to who will triumph in the male and female games with journalist Jon Wertheim of Sports Illustrated.
