The 2022 FIFA World Cup is finally coming to a close. The top two teams of the tournament, Argentina and France, are set to battle it out for the ultimate soccer glory today at 10am ET at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar.
The last time the two teams went up against each other, the stakes weren’t so high. Defending champion France beat Argentina 4-3 in their last meet back in the 2018 FIFA World Cup round of 16.
Both the teams have had an almost spotless run this World Cup, though. France has won all of its games since the Group Stage, with its single loss coming against Tunisia when it had already qualified for the round of 16. Argentina, on the other hand, gave its fans a bit of anxiety when it lost its opening game against Saudi Arabia, but has since performed impeccably.
Both teams are also looking to bring their third World Cup trophy home, with France having won the highest International Soccer accolade in 1998 and 2018 and Argentina in 1978 and 1986.
