Supporters of Argentina and France - the two teams playing in the finals of the World Cup on Sunday in Lusail stadium in Qatar - would be preoccupied thinking of the match. These are two good teams coming head-to-head to prove which is better. There is an ongoing debate or talk in the town that one is better than the other without any statistics other than wishful thinking. The certainty is that the world shall see authentic soccer on display.
Parts of the display already witnessed leaving France and Argentina as the two that the cap fits for the Sunday Mundial. France defeated Croatia in 2018 and lifted the Golden cup. Would the same be repeated, or would Argentina stop France? It is a difficult question.
Both teams are as good as any team seen on display anytime before now. Statistics about their goal-scoring ability and defensive patterns are undoubtful. Meaning Lionel Andres Messi and his colleagues can cause defenders to quake. The same applies to Hugo Lloris. Defenders on both sides have a lot of work to do.
News reports have inundated the public with news reports about the scoring power of Messi and Mbappe. 5 goals each. Both are candidates for the highest goal scorer. So the world would not only be watching a match between France and Argentina, who outscores who between these goal scorers also would be a matter.
Watching Messi mesmerizing from flank to flank and Mbappe in what seems like a hundred-meter from the middle of the field towards the opponents' goal area can be difficult for an opposing team. France would contend with Messi and Argentina with Mbappe. All would end in the entertainment that soccer offers or represents.
The world is waiting to see entertainment. Supporters are prone to winning and losing situations. Many supporters whose teams fell short of reaching the game's final stage have resigned to fate and accepted the outcome as part of the game. Let the better team win is always the chorus. Coaches and team members leave no stone unturned to be better than others.
Curious soccer enthusiasts say there are times when luck comes into play, and a better one does not always win. They say teams' cohesiveness and fortune play some roles. And whatever happens in a field of play requires keeping an open mind until the end of the final whistle while the entertainment enjoyment lasts.
The question on the lips of people is manifest: Messi or Mbappe? Would Messi stops France, or does Mbappe ends Argentina's advancement to stopping France as a consecutive winner of the World Cup? The answer to these questions would come in less than 24 hours.
