World Cup 2022

Odds are truly 50/50 for this one. Exactly 1.92 on each side to win. Still think France are the favourites here.

Better individual quality across the park and from the bench. But, Argies are a team that went trough a lot together and should be more fired up to win it(revenge for 2018, winning it for messi etc).

France midfield is nothing spectacular from a defensive point of view, Morocco were passing trough them with ease until Cardioman dropped deeper in second half to help them. Defense also is not impenetrable.

Attack is were France are clearly better, because they have more options and more speed.

Tough game to predict. But at least we have the two best teams facing off in the final. Both teams deserve to be here.

Yeah its easy money on France. Bet builder of them to win the wc and over 1,5 goals gives 3,6 odds. Or over 1,5 goals for them and a mbappe shot on target 3.55
Or even better mbappe to score, france over 1,5 goals and to win a wc at 6.

Easiest money ever since at worst they will win a 0-2 1-3 type victory.
People will look back on it saying why wre the odds so high for Argentina when it all depends on 35 year old Messi to create?

France has the speed, power, height, versitility in goalscoring and mbappe to hurt Argentina.
If Messi and Argentina pull it off it will be similair to current Atletico beating Manchester city. Big upset for which they will deserve huge credit.

It's not so straightforward. England and Marocco both outplayed France but missed the penalty and few sitters. IMHO this France team is weaker than the one in Russia.

France have that voodoo Madrid aura though. Play like trash but win anyway.

 

[Messigician]

Ngl bros I'm getting second season EV Messi vibes this World Cup

Messi on fire and yet.... close but no cigar

 

[Messigician]

I hope I'm proven wrong anyone but fkn Mpaypal winning another world cup

 

[Messigician]

We need Di Maria to go crazy this World Cup

 

[Horatio]

Yes. We should all convince ourselves France will win. That way the pain will be less and Argentina can only surprise us.


Is it possible for Messi to win balon dor if Mbappe plays shite in final?

Even if he scores twice and they lose somehow without mbappe being significant then the "couldnt win them the wc argument" will rise again. Especially if psg crashes out of cl soon as well.

Exactly, the benefit of having a solid enough defense and goalkeeper to not conceed more than 1 goal yet have the individual quality to put atleast a few last the opponent.

I still feel it will be more like their wc 2018 match but with a score that actually reflects the match. 4-1 france would have been fair.

 

[Horatio]

No. That "couldnt wint them wc argument" will only rise amongst his haters and CR7 fanboys. All football journalists', coaches eyes are on this tournament and seen what he has done. If Mbappe does not score in final think Messi could take down balon dor. But still needs to somewhat deliver rest of year.

 

[Horatio]

It's time for Fati to be done mourning.

 

[Richard.H]

I've been traveling around Asia this entire month and I've missed a good chunk of this tournament due to the very inconvenient time zone difference. Games start at 11 pm earliest and 3 am here. I will not miss the final. Hoping to see the GOAT becoming the objective GOAT.

 

[Daniele]

Yes. We should all convince ourselves France will win. That way the pain will be less and Argentina can only surprise us.

which is not difficult,
to understand how much stronger France is, just consider that they defeated England and Morocco, two teams that in my opinion are considerably stronger than this Argentina.
I say that we must hope that it is not a sensational result against Argentina (such as Spain-Italy 4-0 in Euro 2012)
