In which sport were the total goals scored referenced from the FIFA 2018 World Cup final?

The reference to total goals scored in the FIFA 2018 World Cup final specifically pertains to football, also known as soccer in some regions. The World Cup is a premier international football tournament, where teams from various countries compete, culminating in a final match that determines the champion. In the case of the 2018 World Cup, the final took place between France and Croatia, with a total of six goals scored.

This context directly ties back to the sport of football, as it is the only one among the options that has a format based on goals being scored. Rugby typically scores points through tries and conversions rather than goals, while cricket scores runs, and basketball points are scored through baskets. Therefore, the mention of total goals distinctly marks football as the correct choice in this context.
