FIFA 23 - Argentina vs France - FIFA World Cup 2022 Qatar Final | Gameplay PC

Hello and welcome to a competition of colossal meaning. We're here, just north of Doha city centre, ahead of the

2022

World Cup

final

. My name is Derek Ray and with me to provide expert analysis is Stuart Robson and, as you can imagine, In this occasion, the atmosphere is building very well, it is France against Argentina. Well, what an opportunity for these two groups of players, the opportunity to be

world

champions. Let's hope the game matches the atmosphere. It should be really crazy. I can't wait for this to start. oh here is the team France will go with Hugo Larry says goalkeeper presnell Kim pembe plays alongside Rafael Varan in central defense in gorocante he starts alongside Paul Pogba in central midfield and in attack today Killian mbappe starts with Karim Benzema first foreign team Emilio Martinez is the goalkeeper Ángel Di María starts with Lionel Messi in the wide Midfield positions and leading the line lautaro Martínez and the game begins roselso Marcos Acuña promising position here for Di María the wonderful save how he saved that corner courtesy of Lionel Messi and a little short with the clearance, oh, it doesn't amount to anything in the end, he really should have done more from Karim Benzema, who has played at such a high level in the offensive sense for so long.

Stuart, what do you hope to see from him here? Well, Derek, we know he loves to join in. with other players, but it is when he is in and around the penalty area that he is most dangerous. When he plays little tubes around his marker and then makes the next forward pass to a running back, it could be the key to unlocking this defense well. Hernandez. France are the champions, not many people doubted them coming into the tournament and, frankly, they have stamped their credentials, so they tie the water at the back, flow fluidly in midfield, are fearsome in attack.

Can they be stopped? I'm not sure they can, Derek, I guess. They have been outstanding, they have done everything we expected of them, some of their performances in midfield have been excellent and they have goalscorers in the attacking areas, so I can see them in the second World Cup on the rebound and they are a very, very good team Grant should win this one, he will be delighted to have won the ball after having made that difficult challenge Pogba now Griezmann Paul Pogba Benzema Hernández could jump to the front importance of that tackle it cannot be complicated it is with Paredes Messi must take the lead here first to score in this

final

and it could be very significant, well here you can see what a good goal it is, he hits it so cleanly and the goalkeeper has no chance, it's a great hit, yes, and friends can make the ball go move again. comes with an answer here kante come on France looks dangerous here well, they equalize here Annette is directing it in the face The equalizer in this final what's next the drama?

Well, let's take another look and it's not good enough defensively. slow to react he does not tense enough and does not take care of the situation and the result is on again after the goal that equalized things The same Martínez Giovanni The Elsa will be next Timaria could take the lead and recovered like the tide he had a lot to think about They don't have to do it either only timaria fed in low has only frustrated them only Benzema this is coma and Coleman Cleverly distributing Lionel Messi Rodrigo de Paul now with Messi Messi is this the moment oh it's a Goal A moment of celebration when they jump to the front, well we can have another look now, it's a great interaction between the two to start the move and once he gets to it he just smashes it past the goalkeeper with great technique, what an emphatic finish. is running again 2-1 the score is a high quality well hit pass defending Giovanni Los Elsa Di María is a perfect challenge impressed here Martínez well that is a high quality passive good look like they have attacking momentum but not so much in one minute of injury time, that's what the referees said, so the whistle blows and we're already halfway through the game, so in the second half France will be able to recover after that first 45.

Coleman now with Benzema and the players waiting in the center. Conte, what a vital intervention. and a chance to level it Hernández and he takes it oh well, save, well, the short corner routine, really important tackle Martínez Benzema Conte has it on Benzema for the man now Pogba Benzema is tied if he did it in moments like this on one occasion how are you doing. Just look at this again, it's a really good goal, but no wonder they had complete control here, so the ball runs back to the too old Marcos Acuña Rosel, so they've given him too much space.

Can he do it to get the ball? advantage and a goal advantage again totally deserved, as you can see, in the end it makes everything look easy, but I think it is a good ending that he will be satisfied with, that goes and an excess of goals here 3-2 with Benzema . Now they can make something happen. Well, in the end it came to nothing. Martínez Martínez frustrated them well. They earned themselves a corner and perhaps the chance to add an extra goal for safety. They decided that now is the time to go to the bench.

They fancy a short Dybala, Marcos Acuña, and they are still waiting for the opportunity for the trophy to come to them. Surely well, I have to say this is a really good goal, just look at how well balanced it is. He knows he will be under pressure, but he shows it. great composure to hit the target oh so the current score line 4-2 number 22. Teo Hernández mbappé with him and vape now Paul Pogba excellent assessment of the situation at the back and the conditions seem quite good for the counterattack and he escaped Wonderfully wonderful challenge and a throw-in is coming, he has time to play with us and with that the attack fades Griezmann on Mbappé losing possession only 10 minutes to mess up Pogba a lot of support here well, it didn't go as a plan now comes the end they counterattack clinically and the goalkeeper can gather Benzema well read to relieve the pressure Martínez now Messi oh they have lost him Benzema Giovanni The Elsa take into account all the stoppages Two minutes left to seal the victory yes There were lingering doubts, as you can see , in the end it was a pretty simple ending, but you still have to be in the right place, keep your composure and finish it, and that's exactly what it did right, unfortunately we have to conclude that this hasn't really been a competition, but everything credit to any team committed to scoring goals like this and there the final whistle sounds for the third time in history.

Argentina won the World Cup and I have to say, Derek, they were the best team. in the tournament there is no doubt about that thanks Argentina World Champions they did it in 1978 and 1986. They have done it again in

2022

Stuart well, this is the pinnacle of any footballer's career and what a night it has been for these players and the coach and stuff and of course the fans have the opportunity to finish oh, tremendous save by The Keeper well that's just a wonderful save, how did it stop? Let's see, we should take the lead here, oh yeah, the first to score in this final and it could be very significant. they equalize here the net is directing it in the face the tie in this final what Messi Hernández and he takes it oh good stop Karim Benzema now Pogba Benzema oh a goal that tied was what he did They have also given him too much space and a goal ahead again totally deserved Martinez frustrating them now with dybala and they are still waiting for the opportunity we are taking into account all the stoppages it should be two minutes to add and there is the one that will seal the victory in although
