I see many people who want an Argentina vs Portugal final and i just don't get it.
We’ve seen Messi vs Ronaldo at their peak a thousand times, it would be foolish to mock the loser and glorify the winner based on a single match now that both are semi retired.
It's more like wishful thinking tbh. Fifa did give a fixture that would have ensured Portugal vs Argentina in QFs but Portugal messed up.
We have seen 4 matches so far. Portugal is clearly struggling. No way they gonna beat Spain, USA and France in a row.
Argentina vs France/ Mbappe vs Messi one more time would be more hype in the finals than Messi vs Ronaldo in the finals.
Multiple reasons - Top teams in form + last WC final was memorable as it is considered as arguably the best final ever by most + Mbappe and Messi are going neck to neck in this WC when it comes to goals.
People want Messi out asap because he is too dangerous for their fav team.
I am okay with France vs Argentina. As long as both team play like their life are depending on that final.
I am okay with Argentina vs France as well regardless of who wins if we get a banger.
I was watching podcast of Ex England players talking with each other. Everyone said one thing - they don't see this England side going past Argentina in finals. And, if by miracle they do then France / Spain are better side as well.
It would take hell of a team to beat these three to win the WC and as of now we don't have such team in the WC.
