Analysis: France vs Argentina
France and Argentina are the two last remaining teams at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. One of them will leave the pitch Sunday to become world champions.
Argentina won the tournament’s best match, beating Croatia 3-0 in the semifinals. France defeated Morocco twice to secure a place at the highest soccer table.
France vs Argentina; Lionel Messi against Kylian Mbappe; The current vs. Future. This is the final match for heavyweight that an enjoyable World Cup tournament deserved and was desperately in need of. The odds show that there is almost nothing between the teams.
Both teams lost one match in the Group Stages. France’s defeat to Tunisia and Argentina’s shock loss to Saudi Arabia ruined their perfect records.
Both teams are built around Messi and Mbappe who are undoubtedly the most important storyline in this match.
PSG is a battleground for teammates; Messi, aged 35, hopes to win the World Cup. Mbappe, who is only 23 years old, could win consecutive World Cup titles.
As if this wasn’t enough, both players have scored five goals in the tournament and are currently in contention to win the Golden Boot.
Although it is almost impossible to separate these two players from the game, it is important to remember that each team will have 10 players on Sunday.
To secure their place in the finals, Argentina won their game against Croatia. The team played high, made mistakes, was aggressive on the ball and took their chances in front of goal.
France, on the other hand, was fortunate to beat Morocco. The Atlas Lions possessed the most possession and were the stronger team for the majority of the match. France’s strength is in their lack of precision in front of goal. This was their downfall.
While Argentina was slow to heat up throughout the tournament’s events, France showed against England and Morocco they don’t have to play well in order to win games.
Argentina must make sure that Antione Griezmann is not allowed to touch the ball if they want to win. To me, he has been France’s best player in the tournament.
He has provided 21 goals scoring opportunities for France so far and is a regular on the pitch. How successful Argentina is in shackling the Frenchman will determine how much of the midfield battle is won or lost. This game is just too close to call.
But, like many others, I hope Messi has a happy ending to his story with Argentina. This is Messi’s last song or Mbappe will take over as the biggest soccer star.
This is the World Cup final many aspire to – a duel between two of the best players in the world. Which player will create the magic moment that is needed to win it all. It is likely to be Messi.
