We are already at the gates of witnessing the most important game of the year, the grand final of the World Cup 2022 in between Argentina y France which will be held this Sunday, December 18. In the last four years, the confrontation that both had in Russia 2018 has not been a pleasant memory for the South Americans. However, on this occasion, with a rejuvenated team, the ‘albiceleste’ does not intend to back down.
Scaloni’s men did not have a dream debut, but following the defeat once morest Saudi Arabia everything has been indescribable. The forced victory once morest Mexico and Poland led a course that seemed lost. Australia, although dignified, seemed to be one more step in search of glory. Against the Netherlands, initially controlled, the match turned agonizing and glorious. To evoke old ghosts from Russia 2018, Croatia stood up to Argentina, the result was unbeatable.
On the other hand, France, in this World Cup, was able to break the curse that had held the champions captive since 2010: being eliminated in the group stage following winning the World Cup. They finished first in Group D with 6 points. In the round of 16 they beat Poland (3-1) without problems. In the quarterfinals, on the other hand, England made it more difficult for them, but it was not enough (2-1). The surprise selection of the contest also gave the battle (2-0), although France, with its offensive power, submitted it.
In this meeting we will not only see the dispute for the World Cup final; We will also see the face to face between Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé, although colleagues at PSG, everything suggests that the relationship is not the friendliest. It might also mean a change in the paradigm that the Argentine has represented for football for more than a decade.
