At 23:00 on the evening of December 18, the final of the World Cup will start at the Lusail Stadium in Doha, Qatar. The French team and the Argentine team will compete for the Hercules Cup . One of the teams will embroider the third star on their jersey.
From a strength point of view, the two teams are actually indistinguishable. Both sides have their own advantages and weaknesses. For example, the Argentina team relies more on Messi . For example, the French team's defense is not too stable, there are too few tactical changes, and Lori is not good at saving penalty kicks.
When neither side is strong enough to overwhelm the other, on-the-spot performance, luck factors and even off-field factors become particularly important. The French team obviously has no advantage in luck. Their core players were injured one after another. Except for the penalty kick against England's Kane, the goddess of luck almost never favored them. And looking at history, they have always been a team that has strength but lacks popularity.
In addition, the identity of 's defending champion will also become the biggest stumbling block to their championship. Why do you say that? This requires mentioning the off-field factors mentioned above. The biggest highlight of this game is Messi vs. Mbappe . The old football king vs. the popular fried chicken. Did the old Messi successfully realize his dream and officially become the king? Or will Mbappe defend his title and be officially crowned the number one active player?
Both of them are from French Ligue Paris Saint-Germain club. This competition is held in Qatar , and the owner of Paris Saint-Germain is the Qatari royal family, so the emergence of this matchup is reasonable. No matter who loses or wins, Qataris are the winners.
In fact, the Qataris must have expected that the Brazilian team would appear in the semi-finals, so that the three leading stars of Paris, Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe, could gather together, and Morocco are both Arab countries. In this way, the semi-finals would be dominated by Qatar. No one thought that , Croatia, would ruin a good thing, so a disastrous defeat to Argentina was their ending.
Originally, the outcome of this final should be a matter that entangled the Qataris. Will Messi or Mbappe win? The palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh, so it’s hard to decide.
But the French team is the defending champion, and several core players in the team, including Mbappe, Giroud, and Griezmann, all won the World Cup four years ago. Even if Mbappe does not get it this time, at the age of only 23, he will still have many opportunities to compete for the championship in the future. Messi has not won the World Cup title yet, and he is already 35 years old. If he cannot win it this time, he will never have a chance again.
Therefore, the French team not only has limited support from fan groups around the world, but also cannot win sympathy points here in Qatar. In the context of the whole world looking forward to Messi winning the championship, the Qataris will inevitably take into account the fact that Mbappe has already won the championship and that he will have the opportunity to win again in the future. When choosing between him and Messi, it becomes easier to choose.
Therefore, no surprise, Argentina will definitely win the Hercules Cup at Lusail Stadium, and Messi will also be officially crowned the world champion. Congratulations to Argentina in advance, and congratulations to Messi in advance for a perfect career.
