The famous Ukrainian journalist and commentator Ihor Tsyganyk made a prediction for the final match of the 2022 World Cup between Argentina and France.
"The game will be very difficult. I watched the France-Morocco match and it didn't give me the impression that the French would be favorites in the final today.
Yes, France looks more promising than Argentina. Everyone is used to believe that because of the presence of Messi, the Argentines can achieve their goal. But Argentina also has a super-motivation to win this World Cup. If Mbappe was already a world champion, Giroud was already a world champion, then no one in the Argentina national team has achieved something similar. They will fight for history.
I think we are in for a very unpredictable finale. The main time of the game will end in a draw and everything will be decided in a penalty shootout. By the way, only twice in history has the World Cup title been decided in a penalty shootout (1994, Brazil - Italy 0:0, on penalties: 3:2; 2006, Italy - France, 1:1, on penalties: 5: 3).
I would venture to assume that we will witness the third such case, and the title of world champion will finally be won by Argentina," said Tsyganyk.
