The match of the day
The final. The most anticipated game. The one who can allow one of the two teams – and the players – to enter into legend. This Sunday afternoon, at 4 p.m., you will have to be in front of your small screen at all costs so as not to miss the clash between Argentina and the France team. After a start to the World Cup marked by a surprise setback against Saudi Arabia (1-2), the Albiceleste, which has not been crowned since 1986, was able to meet the expectations it raised to reach the last step. And for what should be his last World Cup – and therefore his last chance to win the only trophy missing from his incredible record – Lionel Messi should give his all on the pitch, just like his teammates who have shown that they have no not afraid to commit since the start of the competition.
For their part, the Blues, already winners of the World Cup four years earlier in Russia, have the opportunity to lift the trophy for the second time in a row. A feat that only Italy, in 1934-1938, and Brazil, in 1958-1962, managed to achieve. If successful, Didier Deschamps, Kylian Mbappé and others would go a little further into the history of football and even into that of sport.

He will certainly not be a starter. But Marcus Thuram could have a decisive role to play this Sunday afternoon, in the final of the 2022 World Cup. Facing Morocco (2-0), in the semi-final of the competition, the 25-year-old striker ans did a great job defensively to protect the French left side in addition to bringing percussion and movement to the offensive plan. This Sunday afternoon, he could again enter during the match. Both to preserve a result and to make a difference. In any case, it could turn out to be decisive. Will he lift the trophy twenty-four years after his father?
