After 6 matches, 5 wins, and one loss, two teams have arrived for the occasion of the FIFA World Cup final. This one game will decide if defending champion France will retain the world cup or Argentina will take it from them. In 2018, Argentina was knocked out by France. There is so much in the stack for both teams. One wants to rule the world, and the other wants to give a farewell gift to the GOAT for his last World Cup.
France Will Like To Win The World Cup In Consecutive Years
France won the World Cup 2018 beating Croatia. It was a dream run for France after the 2014 defeat against Germany in the Quarter Finals. They had continued their dream run with a mixture of young talented stars in attack and experienced lads in the back. The way Griezmann, Tchouameni,,and Mbappe are playing, they don’t want anything less than another world cup trophy two years on the trot.
Argentina Want To Win It For Messi
Messi has seen lots of ups and downs in his recent few years. From leaving Barcelona with a heavy heart to get into PSG. Where he was not at his best and got overshadowed by players like Mbappe and Neymar. As a playmaker for both PSG and the National Team, Messi has adapted well to his new role this season. Messi is looking in his prime form and creating lots of chances and other players are also supporting him. This year’s World Cup is surely going to be his last World Cup. Argentina’s National Team and fans want to say a happy goodbye to their legend, Lionel Messi.
