World Cup in Qatar 2022
World Cup in Qatar 2022
Argentina is world champion🇧🇷 Messi fulfills his dream and imitates Maradona. In the final, France were beaten 3-2 after a splendid game that ended after extra time. The goals were scored in the first half by Messi from the penalty spot and Ángel Di María. Then, in the second half, France shuddered and within minutes Mbappé scored twice. Messi and Mbappé scored again in extra time, on penalties. The Frenchman is the top scorer in Qatar 2022. It goes to penalties. Argentina wins. Coman and Tchoumani are wrong. Third title of the Selection. France fails to score an encore, which has remained taboo for over sixty years.
surprise steps reproposes Di Maria from the first minute🇧🇷 The Juventus player had never been used since the start in the knockout stage. 4-4-2 with Messi and Alvarez at the top. In France Upamecano and Rabiot return from the start. The first team is the one that beat England. From the beginning, Seleccion played the game and gave the impression of being more excited and more convinced. It is expected that France will know how to respond to the first initiatives and the imposition of the Argentines, who, however, always win on the field as time goes by and find the 1-0 goal in the 21st minute.
Dembélé’s ingenuity is truly enormous. The Barcelona player lets Di María pass and pushes him. There is a lack. Marciniak decides the penalty. Leo Messi goes for the ball and displaces Llorissixth goal in this World Cup for the number 10 of the Selection, who scores the twelfth goal of his career in World Cups in game number 26 (absolute record).
France does not react and Argentina sinks the blow and folds. The 2-0 is the result of a beautiful action. Ball recovery in midfield, quick restart, Messi launches MacAllister who lets Di Maria make it 2-0. Double lead, like in the 1986 final🇧🇷 Di Maria gets emotional after scoring. Goal and penalty scored. Perfect match for him.
Deschamps tries to stir up the team and makes two substitutions in the 40th minute! Inside Kolo Muani and Marcus Thuram, outside Giroud and Dembélé. There is no shock, neither at the end of the half (with 7′ of recovery) nor at the beginning of the second half. Argentina succeeds, comes close to the third goal twice, but does not close the game.
The French coach changes again. Inside Camavinga and Coman for Griezmann and Theo Hernandez. Always few changes, but suddenly with Argentina more monotonous, perhaps also due to the replacement of Di María, the French find a cue for Kolo Muani who receives a penalty. Make it clean. Mbappé kicks perfectly, Martinez feels, but fails to reach, 2-1. The Frenchman’s sixth goal in this World Cup (tenth in the World Cup), 2-1.
Mbappé carried the team and the crowd and at two minutes with a beautiful volley he scored one of the heaviest goals of his career, 2-2 in the 81st minute. Incredible. France looked almost doomed, helpless, and then suddenly woke up and tied the game. With Deschamps arguing with the Argentine bank.
The last few minutes are very intense. Strong emotions. From the heart and heartbeats. With two sprints by Mbappé, Argentina trembles. Lloris is prodigious in the 97th minute on a great shot by Messi. After almost 9 minutes of injury time Marciniak whistled the end of the second half, it was 2-2. Extra time is required.
At the end of the first extension, Paredes and Lautaro Martinez enter, who takes over from Julian Alvarez. Inter’s attacker gives claw and has two chances, but doesn’t hit the goal. And at 108 minutes the goal arrives. Lautaro kicks hard, Lloris blocks, Messi is there and he can’t miss, 3-2. VAR assesses a possible offside, which however does not exist. It’s a goal! 3-2 yes and Messi’s 7th goal in this World Cup, Leo’s 13th in the World Cup.
But France, much less so if they give up and make it 3-3 in the 118th minute. Montiel hits the ball with his arm in a kick from Mbappé, who this time replaces Martinez🇧🇷 Triplet! Crazy. Only Hurst had done that in a World Cup final. And at 120 minutes Kolo Muani has the matchpoint, but he can’t serve. At the last second, Lautaro hits, but the ball goes out. Go to penalties.
The protagonists can become Lloris and Martinez. The first to kick is Mbappé, because Lloris wins the bid and chooses to let France kick first. Immediate goal, 1 to 0. Messi evens the score. Martinez blocks Coman’s kick. Dybala is perfect, 2-1. Tchouameni kicks out. Paredes makes it 3-1. Kolo Muani shoots well, 3-2. Montiel has the ball to close and score. Argentina is world champion for the third time, having won in 1978 and 1986.
