The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 is in the final stages with Argentina facing France in the final on Sunday. Croatia will face Morocco in the third-place playoff. We are at the business end of this tournament with the final two matches remaining.
Argentina and France will both want to win their World Cup. Argentina won the FIFA World Cup in 1978 and 1986 while France won in 1998 and 2018. Moreover, it will be Lionel Messi’s last World Cup game, so the football world wants the Argentine magician to finish his career with the only trophy missing from his cabinet. However, you can’t rule out a team having Mbappe, who can produce a moment of magic like his club teammate Messi and win the match. It is poised to be an evenly contested final without any outright favourite.
