FIFA World Cup 2022 Final: Argentina vs France Schedule

Argentina fans protested outside of FIFA’s ticketing office on Friday.
World Cup 2022 final will be played at the Lusail Stadium.
Fans in the U.S. can watch the game live and on demand with fuboTV.

When Argentina and the reigning champions France square off on Sunday, the 2022 World Cup final will come to a dramatic conclusion. We may anticipate goals from the two World Cup teams with the highest scoring averages (2.63 goals per game) in this competition, especially with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe on the field. However, the tactical choices made by Lionel Scaloni and Didier Deschamps will determine which club wins the championship.

If Argentina needs a goal late on, Angel di Maria might be key. Although it leaves Argentina a little short defensively, his ingenuity up front can pose some difficulties for the French backline. Karim Benzema’s absence limits France’s possibilities to make changes moving forward, but Marcus Thuram has established himself as a dangerous forward against weary defences.

Given the illness in their team, France may very well find themselves at a disadvantage if this game goes to extra time. Emi Martinez, who has excelled in penalty shootouts for Argentina, would start as the favourite against Hugo Lloris despite the French captain having already saved a penalty in this tournament. If France wants to keep their title, they’ll probably need to do the task in 90 minutes.

Final: Argentina vs France

In comparison to the World Cup final, which will feature Kylian Mbappe vs. Lionel Messi in Argentina, there is clearly a notion that the third-place play-off is really an exhibition game.

Argentina prevented Croatia from competing in back-to-back World Cup finals, and Morocco competed admirably against the defending champions France despite losing 2-0.
