Well-known journalist Roberto Morales told what he is waiting for the 2022 World Cup final, in which Argentina and France will play today.
“The French team will try to become the first team in the 21st century to win two World Cups in a row. And in the entire history of the world championships, this happened only twice. First, the Italians in 1934 and 1938 under the leadership of Vittorio Pozzo took the gold of the main tournament of the planet, and in 1958 and 1962 the incredible Brazilians did the same with Pele.
About Argentina, all the talk is in the context of Lionel Messi and his skill and the opportunity to finally take this trophy, because it is not a fact that in four years he will still be able to play in the Albi Celeste. Now the phenomenal ten is 35, even if you imagine him as a player at 39, you can’t believe that at that age he can be as cool as he is now.
Recall that Argentina began these competitions with an incredibly unexpected defeat from the Saudi Arabian team (1:2). Then she took her toll in matches with Poland and Mexico. Until the semi-finals, her path to the play-offs did not look easy, with a minimal victory over a very easy Australia and a penalty-shoot-only victory over the Netherlands. But the semi-finals went perfectly. Croatia in the confrontation with the wards of Lionel Scaloni did not get any chances, and Julian "Spider" Alvarez gave an incredible performance and became in that match no less a hero than Leo Messi.
France went to Qatar as one of the main favorites of the competition. Even all the big losses of the team (Benzema, Kante, Pogba, Menian, Nkunku and others) did not reduce its combat effectiveness. The personnel potential of "Le Bleu" is undoubtedly the coolest in the world. Her defeat in the final round of the group stage from Tunisia (0:1) was definitely not an indicator of weakness. Didier Deschamps guys just relaxed. But in the semi-finals, the Moroccans gave them a full-fledged test and, although not without problems, the current world champions passed it, ”said Morales.
