Argentina 2-0 France: South Americans flying as Angel Di Maria doubles the lead
It all comes down to this. After four weeks of thrilling upsets, statement strikes and more, the final two teams at the 2022 World Cup go head-to-head at Lusail Stadium in Qatar.
France, meanwhile, needs a massive readjustment at the break. Griezmann has not found a way to get into the game and Mbappe is a ghost so far. However, this is the reigning champion we're talking about so don't count them out just yet.Approaching halftime now and France has a solid spell of possession with the ball but struggles to move it forward. A strong team talk will be needed from head coach Didier Deschamps.
Messi, of course, takes the ball immediately and sends Lloris the wrong way to put Argentina ahead 1-0.First real opportunity for France as the Europeans have a free kick just outside the box. Talisman Antoine Griezmann sends the ball into the box and it finds the head of jumping Olivier Giroud but the striker sends his attempt over.Another sloppy mistake from France's defence sends Argentina on the break.
The world waits in anticipation now as Argentina and France have officially confirmed their starting lineups ahead of kickoff.
