FIFA World Cup 2022 Final + Play-off ** spoilers ** [17th - 18th December 2022]

But Argentina deserves to win this World Cup

Why do Argentina deserve it more than France? Neither of them has been brilliant throughout. I would say that its a complete toss up between the two of them. Perhaps Mbappe will finally turn up in one of the trickier games and win it for them. Perhaps we will see a final Messi masterclass on the international stage.
 
Here we go:

Argentina XI: Martínez; Molina, Romero, Otamendi, Acuña; De Paul, Enzo Fernández, Mac Allister; Di Maria, Messi, Álvarez.

France XI: Lloris; Koundé, Varane, Upamecano, T. Hernandez; Antoine Griezmann, Tchouaméni, Rabiot; Dembélé, Giroud, Mbappé.
 
I can’t imagine the amount of pressure the players in the Argentina camp will be feeling right now, they want it for Messi more than themselves. Messi can only do so much, I really hope they he gets it.
 
Di Maria recalled and the two French illnesses back, only changes I can see.

I'm still surprised Scaloni starts Acuna over Tagliafico, I think the latter looked far better.

I have absolutely no idea who will win this, a shed load of quality on the pitch for sure .... my gut says its going to pens.

France has already won once not long ago ;)
It will be boring if France wins again
Argentina haven't won in a long time
And Messi never
 
You started bringing up United as if that had anything to do with it. And no we offer wages far less than the big clubs so no, we can't attract the best. Poch would have to take a pay cut and possibly Tuchel would too. Those two (even if they were interested) are going to win it in two years are they? Based on what? Neither have ever managed internationally, neither are English (our record with foreign managers is dire), neither have any pedigree in international football and Poch in particular has never won anything notable. Can you put your hand on your heart and say those two are more likely to get success in 2 years or are you just saying those two because you've read them in the paper?

Based on being great coaches? Tuchels record speaks for itself and those in the know rate Poch highly. And I'm saying it because I don't rate Southgate at all and doubt we'll never win anything with him in charge. He's now had 2 shots at it and come up short and got relegated to League B. Having a good record against minnows is hardly anything to shout about

I'm torn, I want them to win it, as you say for Messi. Then on the other hand I despise the way they reacted in the Netherlands game after they won the game. Having said all that, my boss is French so come Argentina :p

To be fair if you watch the other videos you can see why Argentina reacted like they did. Holland we’re just as unsportsman like, although nothing can compare to an angry south American though…!
