Final World Cup 2022

Join our writers for the latest team news, previews and colour in the buildup to the 2022 World Cup final at Lusail Stadium in Qatar.

I think there is a bigger story to come out of that once the competition is done and dusted. Argentina have been excellent since their opening match bashing by Saudi Arabia, while France have trudged through to the final two with some acceptable performances. Naturally, if Argentina do win and Messi scores the winner, and a commentator says “you could not write this”, then they should be sacked on the spot. So much so this way of thinking goes that, as a joke to hope somebody would lose, we say “ah, congratulations to the team for having won x tournament” in a way to jinx them. One interesting for France is the absence is Karim Benzema. Having lived in London for the last six years I find it interesting to compare this view with the classic irony of British humour with the “it’s coming home” chant. “Second, as evidenced in how I phrased the potential result above, is the superstition or “cábalas” we Argentinians use. Now it is (to) go step by step and continue at least until Nations League and then we will see.” Reuters So every person here talking about the match will never say something like “we’ll win it” or start celebrating beforehand. I do not know if I will play until the Euros in Germany. It did not take long for Gareth Southgate to stick with England. I need to go step by step,” Modric told beIN Sports.

Stage set for clash of titans as Argentina take on France in World Cup final After 63 matches, the World Cup in Qatar comes to a close on Sunday when ...

Fernandez has caused numerous clubs to stand up and take notice with his energetic displays in the middle of the park and a move away from Benfica looks certain in the near future for the promising youngster. De Paul is a box-to-box midfielder and the 28-year-old is the only midfielder to have started every single game for Argentina in Qatar. The Sevilla left-back has impressed during the World Cup, playing a big role in Argentina getting to the semi-final stage. Giroud notoriously won the World Cup in 2018 without registering a single shot on target but was a mainstay for Deschamps team with his ability to link play and create space for his fellow forwards. The 25-year-old looks threatening every time the ball is played to his feet and has the ability to either beat his man down the wing or cut inside to change the angle of attack. Tchoameni scored a screamer against England from outside the box but his main contribution has been consistently putting in dominant displays in the middle of the park to give France a solid base to build their attacks. While he is yet to score at the tournament, Greizmann also has three assists to his name, the joint-highest in the World cup so far. It’s not uncommon to see Griezmann pop up deep inside his own half to put in a perfectly timed tackle to win back possession and then race forward to help link up the play with his immaculate technique. He showed up as Boca Juniors president who won 17 cups (tournaments),” Ava said. Argentina fought a brief war over the islands in 1982 and lost. The passion you see in Qatar reflects the passion you see for clubs at a local level.” The Qatar World Cup has delivered a rich feast of soccer for the past month, with shocks, great goals, incredible celebrations and record-breaking feats served up by the assembled cast.

On the other side are France led by budding superstar Kylian Mbappe, who are looking to become the first side since Brazil in 1962 to successfully retain the ...

While both Mbappe and Messi will attempt to influence the game, it’s the supporting cast who will be of most importance, and for me the French have a better one. Kylian Mbappe is no lesser of a contender for the title as he attempts to become only the second youngest player to lift two World Cup trophies in succession. The saying about France has often been that Les Bleues are so talented and deep, that a second team comprising a number of bench players was equally likely to make it to the semifinals. All the individual and team awards he has accumulated over the years pale in significance compared to this, and his teammates seem to be equally determined to help him get there, which is a big difference from prior campaigns where he has faltered carrying the weight of the nation’s expectations on his own. One one side you have Argentina who have overcome adversity but have then banded together in an effort to get talisman and legend Lionel Messi to the one major trophy that he has yet to have won, the World Cup. Argentina have previously won the global showcase in 1978 and then in 1986, and a third will bring them closer to continental rivals Brazil who have five titles, and Germany behind them with four.

Deschamps has suffered a difficult few days since France beat Morocco - the first African team ever to reach the last four - in the semi-final. Messi, 35, has collected seven Ballon d’Or awards for the best player in the world, but the last time he reached the World Cup final it ended in the bitter disappointment of defeat to Germany in 2014. It is Messi’s quest that will focus the world’s attention on the 89,000-capacity Lusail Stadium in Doha, the most spectacular of the remarkable venues that the desert state have erected to host the tournament.
