Jakarta, CNNI Indonesia —
World Cup 2022 in Qatar he will present the ‘ideal final’ which he will bring together Argentina versus France, Sunday (18/12) evening WIB. There is an interesting memoir of that fight.
The final match at Lusail Stadium will bring back memories of the 1978 World Cup Final that brought together Argentina and the Netherlands as Team Tango emerged victorious.
In that match, both the Netherlands and Argentina were the losing teams in the group stage.
In 1978, Argentina, commanded by Mario Kempes and Daniel Pasarella, reached the final with a defeat in the group stage, when they were defeated by Italy 0-1.
Meanwhile the Netherlands were beaten 2-3 by Scotland at the same stage that year. A run of minor results forced both teams to qualify in second place for the knockout stage.
Now history is repeating itself in Qatar, when the finalists are the big names who suffered defeat in the group stage.
Argentina were beaten 1-2 by Saudi Arabia in Group C, and then France, who had to be beaten by Tunisia 0-1 in their final Group D match.
It will be a new story since 1978 that the World Cup final will be played by two teams who have both lost in the group stage.
The final of the World Cup is confirmed to France after the victory over Morocco 2-0 in the semifinals. The day before, Argentina blocked their tickets for the final after beating Croatia with a score of 3-0.
Thanks to this result, Morocco will then face Croatia in the third-place match of the 2022 World Cup which will take place on Saturday (17/12) at the Khalifa International Stadium.
