After four weeks of intense competition between the world’s best national teams, the World Cup 2022 will conclude this weekend, with either France or Argentina crowned champion.

France was fortunate to escape the France vs. Morocco match unscathed, as the African side fought valiantly but couldn’t break through in the final third. France, on the other hand, is a strong team – remember, we’re talking about the current World Cup holders – and will be eager to win back-to-back World Cups for the first time since Brazil in 1958 and 1962.
Argentina, on the other hand, has its own story to tell. Lionel Messi has won almost everything else that is possible for him to win. Now that he’s nearing the end of his career, he’ll have his sights set on winning the World Cup. Argentina came close to defeating Brazil in Rio eight years ago, when Mario Gotze scored an extra-time winner.
So, what are our expectations for this game? Both teams are naturally attack-oriented. That usually means the game will either be spectacular end-to-end excellence or a cagey, cancelled out affair. With much of the game decided, I’d expect both teams to approach this with a little more caution than their semi-final clashes.
