France vs Argentina: Preview
With both sides evenly matched, and evenly priced by bookmakers, this is a game that could be decided by either a moment of magic from one of the stars on the pitch or a stroke of fortune.
Argentina will be looking for their first World Cup victory since 1986 when Diego Maradona led La albiceleste to glory. Lionel Messi, arguably the greatest footballer the world has seen since Maradona, will be hoping to replicate that on Sunday and finally get his hands on the one trophy that has alluded him throughout his career.
France haven’t had to wait nearly as long since their last World Cup triumph. In fact, they have won two World Cups since Argentina last won one – their first in 1998 and most recently in 2018. The current holders will be doing everything they can to ensure the World Cup Trophy remains in Paris for another four years.
