The 2022 FIFA World Cup Final will feature a showdown between reigning world champion France and an immensely talented Argentina team.
Not even a veteran scriptwriter could have penned it more perfectly. Especially considering the obstacles both teams have endured as they’ve battled to arrive at the Final destination.
Most recently, the French team has been fighting a flu-like virus that sidelined a couple of key players when Les Bleus faced Morocco in the semifinals. And at the beginning of the tournament, Saudi Arabia got a shocking victory over La Albiceleste, which was arguably the biggest upset in World Cup history.
Can Lionel Messi lift Argentina to World Cup GREATNESS over Kylian Mbappé, France?
Alexi Lalas and David Mosse debate whether Lionel Messi can lift Argentina to World Cup greatness by defeating France in the 2022 FIFA World Cup finals.
Both teams were the favorites entering their semifinal matches, and both squads had to prove they were worthy of advancing. Argentina played a Croatia team that was riding the momentum of its upset over Neymar and Brazil. France faced feisty underdog Morocco — a squad that made history as the first African nation to earn a semifinal spot at the Cup.
But decorated soccer savant Lionel Messi & Co. persevered, pummeling Croatia 3-0. Les Bleus bested Morocco in their midweek match 2-0. Now, we’re on the brink of getting the answers to the most pressing questions of the 2022 tournament.
Will Leo, in his last hurrah, capture the one trophy that has eluded him his entire career? Or will Kylian Mbappé and the champions protect the throne and leave Qatar with back-to-back crowns?

Prediction:
We’ve told you before, and we’ll say it again, Kylian Mbappé is a force. And it was his quickness and athleticism that led Les Bleus over La Albiceleste back in 2018 in the Round of 16. In addition to Mbappé, France is stacked with players like Tchouameni and Dembele.
But some reverence has to be given to Messi. Throughout this tournament, he has proven why he’s one of the — if not the very — best in the world. Now he has the chance to lead his team to victory over the reigning champions while capturing his first World Cup in what will be his final match on this global stage.
Both these teams will leave all their sweat on the field in Qatar, but it will be Argentina that escapes with the spoils, with Messi hoisting the championship trophy.
PICK: Argentina, 2-1
