[골닷컴] The corresponding Park Moon-soo = South America and Europe will bet on the pride of the continent and engage in one-on-one confrontation.
Argentina and France face off. The two teams will compete on a single deck for the World Champion position at the “Qatar 2022 World Cup Final” at 0:00 on the 18th.
Argentina advanced to the finals of the World Cup for the first time in eight years, following the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. France aim for a second consecutive title after the 2018 World Cup in Russia. It is the first time in 20 years that a reigning World Cup champion has advanced to the final twice since Brazil in 2002. Going further, the France national team are targeting a second consecutive World Cup victory in 60 years, since 1962 with the Brazilian national team.
Even in the entire history of the World Cup, there have only been two consecutive defeats in the tournament. Italy in 1934 and 1938 and Brazil in 1958 and 1962 are the protagonists.
The point of watching this match is the old and new confrontation between Messi and Mbappe. Both players belong to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Messi was the ruler of his time. Mbappe is the new ruler who will succeed Menaldo.
At the same time, it is a comparison with the pride of South America and Europe. After Brazil’s victory at the 2002 World Cup, South America hadn’t been at the top of the world for 20 years. From the 2006 World Cup in Germany to the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the winners of the World Cup have been European countries.
So far there have been 10 meetings between South America and Europe in the World Cup finals. Seven of these were won by South America and three by Europe.
Argentina, who have won two World Cups, recorded 2 wins and 2 losses in the final against the European team. In 1978 and 1986 they won respectively against the Netherlands and Germany. However, both in 1990 and 2014, they were captured by European teams.
France have so far won both World Cup finals. At the time of the 1998 World Cup in France, which recorded the first championship, the opponent was Brazil. In the last World Cup in Russia, they beat Croatia 4-2.
The team with the most victories in the final against European teams is Brazil. Brazil have recorded 5 wins and 1 loss in their 6 finals against European teams. However, after winning the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup Final against Germany, they have not won a single tournament against a European team.
Coincidentally, the team qualified to break Europe’s South American jinx is Messi’s Argentina. If only France are defeated, they will win the World Cup for the first time in 36 years. It is Messi’s first World Cup victory since he was born.
On the contrary, this time too France represents Europe. Just as they defeated Brazil 24 years ago, they are also aiming to win against Argentina this time around. Even in the match four years ago, France have good memories of the 4-3 victory against Argentina.
