Bolt heads to Russia for World Cup final

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Sprint legend Usain Bolt is on his way to Moscow, Russia to attend the World Cup final match between France and Croatia on Sunday.

The retired sprinter made a post to his 8.6 million followers on Instagram telling them, “Russia we a go!!! #WorldCupFinals”.

Despite queries from his followers, the sprinter did not say which team he is supporting.

Croatia reached the World Cup final for the first time in its history yesterday, sparking scenes of joy in Moscow and in Zagreb after Mario Mandzukic’s extra-time winner prolonged England’s decades of pain.

Croatia beat England 2-1 in the semi-finals while France won 1-0 over Belgium
