Argentina and France will play the FIFA World Cup final tomorrow. Two teams are very strong but 90% people support Argentina.

Where did you even get that information? Source please. I'm looking at the current odds and Argentina is the favorite but only by a small margin. That information may not be enough but I could still use that as basis to say that the 90% support to Argentina is an exaggeration.

......

It looks like Morocco is going to lose against Croatia but kudos to them for reaching the semi-finals. It was a fantastic run so no shame.

I think its an exageration too but all messi fans are supporting them so i would say argentina have more support as for the odds they are almost the same i think its 50 50 but since france may have some missing players argentina are the slight favourite in my opinion.

No one can predict perfectly who will win the final tomorrow. Both teams are strong and you can support whichever team you like. No matter which team you support, you will get good odds.

It looks like Morocco is going to lose against Croatia but kudos to them for reaching the semi-finals. It was a fantastic run so no shame.

The Runner's up of the 2018 world cup has now managed to attain the third position. Congratulations to the Croatian team and fans on this winning.

Now we have one last match left to be played which is the Final of the 2022 FIFA world cup.

I do not see Lionel Scaloni, the Argentine coach, pulling any tricks. It is basically going to be the strategy and tactics they used during their match with Croatia. These are two formidable teams, and I think that the Argentine coach is going to have five men in the defence. Messi is going to play against his teammate Mamaby, and both are excellent players and talented forwards. The way I see it, France will win the World Cup and be the third team to ever win it back-to-back.

Argentina haven't used a system with five defenders even for once since the beginning of this year. It might be a really big risk to take by doing this in a critical match for themselves. They have mostly used a formation like 4-3-3 Attacking so far. They tried new things against Netherlands (3-1-4-2) and Croatia (4-4-2 double 6) as well. Croatia had a solid defense as you know but this formation against them worked really well. This is making me wondering if they would use the formation against France as well.

Because France are another team which have a really strong defense line. As for Argentina defense they have no other choice than being extra careful here. Because even playing with 5 defenders might not be a certain solution.

There is no doubt that the Argentine coach will stick to the basic tactics of football. In the match against Croatia, he played in a formation of 4-4-2.

It would be great if he could try a 4-3-3 formation with either a central defensive midfielder or a central attacking midfielder against France.

Against France, I think the three-midfield formation might be a smart idea. There is no doubt that France have a very competent midfield and the Argentine players will have a hard time getting past them.

Overall, I think that all the coaches will give their utmost effort in order to give themselves the maximum chance of winning the trophy.

Morocco vs Croatia Today's match saw Croatia score 2-1 Morocco.  Croatia performed very well here and their team was placed third.  However, Morocco's passing system is very bad because they pass the ball in small pieces but do not reach the player and they cannot kick the ball inside the D box.  It's a pity that their finishing is so bad that Morocco is responsible for today's result.

Argentina and France will play the FIFA World Cup final tomorrow. Two teams are very strong but 90% people support Argentina. We think Argentina will take the World Cup this time. Now my question is Argentina's Messi and France's Mbappe both play well. If Messi and Mbappe do not play from two teams, which team can win the World Cup?

90% support for Argentina seems like a ridiculous stats although many are supporting Argentina but France has lots of support from some European countries and Ronaldo fan base.

Without both Messi and Mbappe in Argentina and France squad respectively I will dubbe  France to win because overall France have a better squad. Almost all goals for Argentina have come from Messi so without him Argentina can't bite

Now my question is Argentina's Messi and France's Mbappe both play well. If Messi and Mbappe do not play from two teams, which team can win the World Cup?

Even if Messi and Mbappe don't play, Argentina will still be ahead.  Because the rest of Argentina's players also play very well.  Messi is a very good player but he will never play a full 11 player game by himself alone . I am not voting for Argentina as a supporter of Argentina.  I am giving my opinion after watching Argentina's game performance.  However, I think Argentina will win tomorrow's final and Messi will win the World Cup

When Messi is in the team and plays, a kind of winning spirit is created in the hearts of the teammates. Many teams try to surround Messi and pay special attention to him. But France does not want to do that. In Argentina, not only Messi is being looked at seriously. France is taking seriously the fact that the Argentina team has several players who can play a role in determining the outcome of the match. Captain Hugo Lloris has warned teammates to pay attention to others. Yes it's true that give attention to just one player it would not the good side of the team. Because, the final will be between two big countries. So everyone of the two teams should try to play each other with utmost importance.

No doubt Messi contributed enormously to Argentina's victory against Croatia. but I wouldn't play blind at the dirty work done by De Paul, and Paredes. If you review the match against Australia and Croatia, you will see that These two machines worked tirelessly in the midfield. They did more of the marking which helped in winning back the ball quickly from the opponent. I believe a team with few goal scorers and many men that can mark and win back the ball is better than a team with many stars who can score and dribble but fewer ball winners. In comparison, Argentina is the former while France is the latter.

Of course Argentina has other than Messi players that play very well too. Do not let other people convince you to the fact that Messi took them all the way to the finals, Messi is an amazing player and possibly the greatest football player in the entire history of football but it wouldn't be possible for them to be in the finals if you put Messi to Panama or something right?

Like it would had to be some decent team, do you imagine him taking Latvia to world title? Or Estonia? Or Bosnia? Like it has to be at least "some" level around him to get to finals. Argentina was at that level and they still have a chance to win the whole world cup title as well.

Even though Morocco didn't win today, they played very well. The match was very competitive and enjoyable. The performance of both the teams was excellent. Morocco's attack is not strong enough. They won the previous matches only because of strong defense and excellent match strategy. African teams should now look for talented players for their attack. If the attack is strong, they will be able to challenge any European or American teams in the next World Cup.

Both sides showed really an amazing game. Morocco tried really hard in the second half to score and try and turn the game around but just wasnt able to score. Croatia was honestly better in every aspect of the game so far. I dont know how much they will do on next big tournament because they have a really old team

4-3-3 will have been a perfect formation for Argentina but they are things to consider. Once you decide to play a 3 man midfield then one DM will go, both Acuna and De Paul cannot play as a lone DM and if you decide to play a double DM then either Mac Alister or Enzo Fernandez won't start which will result into lack of creativity in the midfield. Lastly the 3 man attack will include Messi and either Dimaria or Dybala because they don't have an effective left winger. Starting either Dybala and Dimaria alongside Messi will less marking because this players have a playing pattern that lacks pressing and if the pressing isn't there France will have the upper hand. Just like how the Saudi Arabia game

Morocco always fails in finishing even though they have so many chances it's just that a striker can't be able to execute better kicks as a result many kicks go off the mark, even though this has been a good job for Morocco but still they have to improve again because this has been a good era for Morocco while Croatia is a European team that has experience in entering important tournaments and they always enter the semifinals and so on.
Croatia's oldest players are Luka Modric with 37 years and Perisic 33 years, it looks like this will be the last tournament for them to defend their national team.
But Croatia has always had a balanced game and players.

[lizarder]

Both teams are playing really open in this period,Croatia is slightly better and is leading as expected. Both teams are attacking really hard as expected for this match. Morocco now is putting high presure but cannot score and even the play. Croatia for me looks like it will win for sure

In the second half, Maroco was unable to suppress the Croatian players. The Maroco players held the ball at their feet for too long and let Croatia take the ball easily. I highlighted two basic weaknesses of the atlas lion?

First: The strikers they have do not have a strong instinct for scoring goals, even when facing one on one with the Croatian goalkeeper they are unable to open up scoring opportunities.
Second: Defender Maroco lost a duel in the air with a Croatian player, so Croatia took advantage of many opportunities through aerial balls.

While Croatia played pretty neatly in the second half, they really controlled the game.
Congratulations to Croatia for finishing in third place. For Maroco this is an extraordinary achievement, as well as breaking a new record for them.

[CLS63]

Gvardiol's first goal was really impressive. It was a well-prepared free-kick organization by Croatia. Perisic made a great assist by a header to Gvardiol and he finished it in the same way. Morocco's goal was an unfortunate incident for Croatia. Because after the cross Majer hit the ball with his head towards their goal and it was easy for Dari to score by a header. Orsic still was there to score the winning goal by a really classy chip shot to the right corner.

Croatia at least finished the tournament as the third team which is still a good success for them.

Now my question is Argentina's Messi and France's Mbappe both play well. If Messi and Mbappe do not play from two teams, which team can win the World Cup?

If you play in Argentina against France without Messi and Mbappe playing, then Franca would clearly win without too many difficulties, that's because Messi is the center of everything in the Argentina team, the guy is a genius who manages to become a player who contributes a lot to the team, when argentina plays messi controls all the players, at least i have observed when messi takes the ball he passes to teammates without needing to look too much at the location of the teammate, this shows that messi before catching the ball ball already noted where each player on your team will be positioned, this is a skill that mbappe does not have, frankly even without mbappe they will play normally, you may notice the number of goals, but in terms of quality of play it will not change nothing if mbappe doesn't play


as I imagined, morocco lost, but at least they managed to stay in the 4th position, something that even big teams like brazil, germany, spain and england were unable to do, so congratulations to morocco and a great pride of africa, they had excellent performance in this world cup

Very simple question in my opinion, but I will give a few answers that are also very simple for this question. If Messi and Mbappe don't play in tomorrow's world cup final, then I'm more sure that France will win, although that doesn't mean I underestimate Argentina. Because Argentina has enormous motivation when Messi can play in the match in the world cup this time. But that is highly unlikely as it will be Messi's last world cup final before he retires from football.

It was a good match. Both teams played smart, but Croatia's ball control was better than Morocco's. Morocco's performance is good here, but they still couldn't gain the upper hand, they had a lot of good chances in the second half but weren't able to score. Croatia is a better team, and they deserved to win. Croatia's play was more active in this match than in the previous one, and the team showed more discipline in their play, which made the difference. They were more aggressive and scored twice in the first half when they had some good chances. I think they deservedly won the third place in the championship.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Thankfully we didn't watch a boring game between Croatia and Morocco. Watching three goals in the first half already was really promising. We didn't watch any other goal in the second half though but there were still many attacks by especially Morocco side. They did their best to equalize the score and maintain their chance but they couldn't. En Nesyri wasted two big opportunities. On one of those chances Livakovic was really great with a good save. Croatia could have also scored the third goal and finish their hopes but they wasted that chance also.

I think this is a well-deserved third place for Croatia. They could have even made it to the final round but Argentina were really great in offense. This is a consistent performance for Croatia in the World Cup lately by finishing it as the second and the third.

Morocco has good teamwork, but they lack creativity and a powerful offensive game, which is why they were eliminated by France. They are playing very good football that is entertaining to watch, but when it comes to goal scoring, they always fall short; if they had good wingers and strikers, they could have eliminated France to reach the World Cup final; but even so, Morocco is putting in a good effort for the World Cup.

[Balmain]

Contrary to expectations, the Croatia-Morocco match was a fast-paced and active match. Clearly, I enjoyed watching it. The Croats got what they deserved, I can say that Morocco scored its only goal thanks to Croatia. But here is a fact that they play a really good team game and a disciplined game. Even the fourth place is a great success in my opinion, this success will trigger new achievements. Now we focus on the finale. A lot of people want Messi to win the trophy, to speak the truth, France is much superior as a team, I think France will win.
