Man this final is tough to call... have no attachment to either of these countries and am trying to assess the two 11s and I truly could see it going either way. Obviously Messi and Mbappe have been discussed to death, Alvarez looks the next most in form player as far as scoring and so maybe a slight firepower advantage there though Giroud seems to pop up and score at crazy moments even when he's playing badly and Griezmann has been a terrier all tournament.
Central midfields I don't see a lot to pick from, De Paul and Mac Allister have stood out as rock solid box to box players for me as have Rabiot and Tchouameni.
Maybe a bit more physical size and strength in the France backline against those two in form Argentina attackers? But they seem to have some kind of flu ripping through their camp.
What do everyone's predictions looks like?
Throwing a dart I'd probably lean slightly towards Argentina say 2-1 but obviously Mbappe could just go beast mode and blow that away.
I don't even know if I can watch the 3rd place game, hope I am wrong but expecting another snooze fest like their round robin game. Throw in the whistling... that's a toughie. Be nice to see Modric get a goal on his farewell
