I quit football a few years ago but I have to admit that this final game was exciting and full of "suspense" (I couldn't completely ignore it, I watched the extra time and penalties). I would like to cite a few facts.. 1. Since the 2002 world cup in Japan/Korea, every time, if the winner is European , it got kicked out in the next tournament in the first round. 2002(France), 2010(Italy), 2014(Spain) and 2018(Germany). however, France broke the rule this time and almost won the title! 2. France had lost two finals in its history, both were in penalties (Today, and in 2006 against Italy). 3. Both Argentina and France have won the title two times so far. Argentina won the coveted trophy in 1978 and 1986 while France achieved glory in 1998 and 2018. So this final is: for whom the 3rd trophy goes? it turns out to be Argentina 4. France had the chance to join Italy (1934, 1938) and Brazil (1958,1962) to be the 3rd Team to win two World Cups successively, but failed.
