“It will be a very difficult game. I watched the match between France and Morocco, and I didn't get the impression that the French would be the favorites in the final today.

Yes, France looks more promising than Argentina. Everyone is used to thinking 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 world champion, Gira was already world champion, then no one in the Argentina national team achieved this. They will fight for history.

I think that a very unpredictable ending awaits us. 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 the entire history of the world title was 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 suggest that we will witness the third such case, and Argentina will finally win the title of world champion, ”said Tsyganik.
