Argentina and France will face off in the 2022 FIFA World Cup Final as legacies are on the line Sunday.
La Selección advanced behind a 3-0 win over Croatia on Tuesday, and Les Bleus clinched a spot in back-to-back finals after defeating Morocco, 2-0, on Wednesday. This will be Argentina’s first World Cup final appearance since losing to Germany in 2014, and France won the 2018 World Cup and are the first team to make back-to-back finals since Brazil in 1998 and 2002.
It will be a battle between two of the top players in the world in Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé, with the former hoping to win his first World Cup and the latter seeking his second. The pair are tied for in the Golden Boot race at five goals, and French forward Olivier Giroud is behind them with four goals. Messi and Mbappé also were among the favorites for the Golden Ball, so there will be plenty of sweats for bettors this Sunday.
