Modric never showed his smile during the ceremony. The ceremony was just after the final he lost.

I recalled the similar scene.

Messi won the Golden Ball at the last World Cup in Brazil. He never showed his smile either because of the same reason, it was just after the final he lost.

My article about that;

Golden Glove Award: Thibaut Courtois (Belgium)

Many goalkeepers showed great performance in this World Cup. And I think I said the same thing at the last World Cup.

And, yes, Courtois was great and deserved the award.

Golden Boot Award: Harry Kane (England) - 6 goals

I'm really happy that such a great player exists in the England team.

I have a high expectations of this young guy and the young England team!

Fair Play Trophy: Spain

I don't know well about this award, but it seems to be given to a team which has fewer yellow/red cards and fouls.
