Who will bring the World Cup home? France or Argentina?
It goes without saying that millions across the world are in favour of Argentina winning the ongoing FIFA World Cup. Of course, this can mostly be traced back to the massive support for Lionel Messi from all across the world. Messi has been terrific this world cup and has once again shown why he's regarded as one of the best ever in the game of football. In a recent interview held with him, it was revealed that the seven-time balloon do'or winner is primed to retire from international duties after this ongoing tournament if he wins it. However, with France being Argentina's opponents in the final, there's a huge doubt as to whether Messi can lead his country to their first World Cup trophy since 1986. France entered the tournament as a highly rated side but without the trust of fans as title contenders. The major reason for this being that the defending champions were without a good number of key players. Some notable names excluded from the squad were Paul Pogba, Ngolo Kante and this year's balloon do'or winner, Karim Benzema all due to injuries of different kinds. However, inspite of this huge setback, the Les Bleus managed to thrive and have made a huge mark as the first team to reach two straight finals since Brazil in 2002. Based on current statistics, France have better fire power in attack thanks to Olivier Giroud's heroics in filling the role of the injured Benzema. PSG star, Kylian Mbappe has been outstanding as well while Ousmane Dembele has constantly been a threat to opposition defence. Compared to this trio, Argentina's front two of Lionel Messi and Julian Alvarez have been equally impressive with a commendable level of understanding and clinicality whenever in front of goal. Other France stars like Antonie Griezzman and Aurelien Tchouameni have perfectly played their roles and performed at high levels so far. In my opinion, these two provide an additional factor that puts France at a better position to pick up the trophy. France has an array of players with outstanding individual abilities which makes them a terror to any opponent while Argentina has Messi. Of course, he's a potent weapon but just might not be enough to rescue Argentina this time. Whatever the outcome of Sunday’s World Cup final, one thing is for sure: The title will go a long way in strengthening a star’s standing among the greatest to have ever played the game.

An Anti-Messi Agenda
Note: This is a sentimental and subjective piece coming from an Anti-Messi fan. I hope Messi will be so close to the final and eventually lose it. He doesn't deserve to hold the title of the GOAT. You say he is a combo of raw talent and hardwork. Is Cristiano a joke to you? In less than four hours, I wish to see how satisfying his tears will be to feed off his followers who kept feeling at the top of the world right now. Yes! Feel free to say I am filled with bitterness but I can't deny how I feel right now. Moreso, there are several reasons Aregentines cannot bring the cup home, they couldn't achieve it while Messi was at his peak. Hence, he can't achieve that towards the end of his career. It's either you're beginning to love or dislike the truth I am saying right now. In few days to come, the reality of this post will dawn on everyone of us that Messi is not a god in football though his works can't be disregarded. History shows that Croatians has been always schooling the Argentines on the pitch. Meanwhile Messi, the false and self-imposed Goat has always be present to witness the downfall. History will repeat itself today. I'm not a prophet of doom but of truth and reality. Saddle your horses oh ye Messi's fans, it's time to fall out of the race and hand the baton over to the more qualified countries to carry on. This piece is not an attack on the Argentines but to the Messi adherents. See you after the match! chuckles devilishly...😈

El último Argentina-Italia
Bien podría definirse como un duelo entre potencias. Argentina e Italia, dos top cuatro de los que más partidos jugaron en mundiales junto con Brasil y Alemania, volverán a cruzar sus caminos. Cuatro años atrás fue la última vez, el 23 de marzo de 2018, también a meses de una Copa del Mundo, en Inglaterra y con la Azzurra jugando su preliminary encuentro tras no clasificarse, task como sucederá el próximo miércoles en la Finalissima. Aquella vez la Selección ganó 2-0 con goles de Éver Banega y Manuel Lanzini, pero la realidad time muy distinta o podría decirse que totalmente opuesta a la genuine. Jorge Sampaoli time el DT de un equipo que se clasificó por la ventana y gracias an un full go-around de Messi en Ecuador en la última fecha. Y, a diferencia de los actuales 32 PJ sin perder, el último antecedente de aquel equipo time un 2-4 bet Nigeria a fines de 2017... LOS GOLES DE ESE 2-0 Faltaban menos de tres meses para que comenzara Rusia y el descalabro que luego se dio pese a llegar an octavos y caer con Francia. Bet Italia, el DT hizo debutar a Willy Caballero (fue la figura OIé, con 9 puntos por sus atajadas) y se ganó la consideración que luego costaría caro. Fabián Bustos fue el otro que tuvo sus primeros minutos. La victoria se dio con lindos goles desde afuera del área. Eso le llevó a decir a Sampa un "vamos a potenciar cosas que vimos", pero que no ocurrió. Días después Argentina sufriría una de sus peores derrotas, con un 1-6 contra España. Y bet tanta prueba, el que no jugó fue Lionel Messi porque llegaba tocado del Barcelona y prefirió no arriesgar. Paredes y Lo Celso, dos claves hoy de la Scaloneta fueron titulares, pero Leandro luego no llegó a la Copa y Gio no tuvo minutos pese a haber jugado en tasks los compromisos previos. Mientras en aquel 2-0 en el Etihad Stadium de Manchester estuvo por primera vez Lautaro Martínez citado y ocupó un lugar en el banco de suplentes, sin ingresar. El 9 nominal fue Higuaín, quien regresaba tras nueve meses de ausencia. ¿Dybala? Afuera, peleando un lugar. El dato más curioso es que de aquellos 11, Italia repite más nombres pese a fue el equipo que venía de quedarse afuera de Rusia 2018. Florenzi, Bonucci, De Sciglio, Verratti, Jorginho e Insigne y sin contar an Immobile y Chiesa que child parte del real plantel pero no están por lesión. Otamendi, Tagliafico, Paredes, Lo Celso y Di María, los que repiten en Argentina. Y fue la despedida de Gianluigi Buffon tras 176 PJ para dejarle lugar a Donnarumma. El miércoles, en Wembley, Chiellini también dirá adiós. Un juego de likenesses y diferencias. Y una Argentina que va por el triunfo nuevamente pero no quiere terminar igual... ASÍ FORMARON ARGENTINA (4-2-3-1): Willy Caballero; Fabricio Bustos, Nicolás Otamendi, Federico Fazio, Nicolás Otamendi; Lucas Biglia, Leandro Paredes; Manuel Lanzini, Giovani Lo Celso, Ángel Di María; Gonzalo Higuaín. (Ingresaron: Éver Banega, Diego Perotti, Cristian Pavón y Gabriel Mercado) ITALIA (4-3-3): Gianluigi Buffon; Alessandro Florenzi, Leonardo Bonucci, Daniele Rugani, Mattia De Sciglio; Marco Verratti, Jorginho, Marco Parolo; Federico Chiesa, Ciro Immobile y Lorenzo Insigne. DT: Luigi Di Biagio.(Ingresaron: Zappacosta, Candreva, Pellegrini, Cristante, Cutrone y Belotti).
