Argentina vs France FIFA World Cup final.

Fifa 2022 Final

The World Cup final between Argentina and France is taking place on Sunday at the Lusail Stadium. This is the 22nd edition of the FIFA World Cup, and only these two teams have made it to the final. Both Argentina and France topped their respective groups, Group C and Group D. Argentina has won the World Cup twice before, in 1978 and 1986, while France is the defending champion, having won the tournament in 2018 in Russia. This will be France’s third World Cup win, with their first title coming in 1998 when they hosted the tournament. The match will determine which team will become the world champion for this edition of the tournament.

This capital of the energy-rich thumb-shaped Gulf nation has often made you feel that you are in (cleaner) streets of Mumbai or Kochi as Indians tend to outnumber everyone else around. And for a month, a vast majority of them along with the 35,000 visiting Argentine fans have turned this place into a sacred tour of Lionel Messi. His face adores most billboards and the neon buildings that light up the evening skies and every second person in the streets wears a Leo Messi jersey (mostly fake), while the rest rummage through the stores in Mushareib, Souk Waqif, Wakrah or Lusail to pick the last few available ahead of Argentina’s final against France.

The Argentine captain has not disappointed his disciples as he has lighted up the tournament with a sprinkling of sorcery – the goal against Australia, the no-look pass to Nahuel Molina, or his toying of Croatian defender Josko Gvardiol in the semifinal. His greatness has been demonstrated throughout the tournament, but for Doha to build a permanent shrine for Messi, the final act of deliverance needs to arrive. A World Cup trophy from Lusail to truly establish his supremacy.
