How Argentina get to the final?
Argentina's run to the World Cup final began with one of the most shocking setbacks in the tournament's history. After losing their opening match against Saudi Arabia, Argentina bounced back with a pair of 2-0 group stage wins to finish as No. 1 in Group C.
In the knockout stage, Argentina defeated Australia, the Netherlands and Croatia to reach the final.
Argentina's incredible run to the final begins and ends at the feet of Lionel Messi, the 35-year-old phenomenon selected as the greatest footballer in the history of the sport.
If Argentina wins the final, it will be the perfect seal on the career of a legend. If Argentina loses the final, Messi, arguably the greatest footballer of all time, ends his international career on the edge of the abyss.
How France get to the final?
France's run to the World Cup final began with typical dominance, with definite victories over Australia and Denmark in the group stage. The country's only defeat came against Tunisia in a match that had no impact on the French side.
In the round of 16, France beat Poland, England and newly promoted Morocco to reach the World Cup final for the second consecutive year.
The situation is different in France, the country who won the last World Cup in 2018.
France is led by Kylian Mbappe, a 23-year-old full-fledged superstar leading the next generation of footballers. Mbappe has scored five goals at the 2022 World Cup, tied with Messi for the tournament lead.
After all, France have reached the final in four of the last seven tournaments. A third World Cup is within reach for the French side.
Which country will win the final as favorites?
France, but bettors didn't ultimately give the defending champions the lead.
Compared to previous final matches, France vs Argentina is the closest we've seen in perhaps two decades.
