The 2022 World Cup is left with one unique final four. So what does that mean for the potential final? avicreditor ranks the remaining possibilities for Sunday's title match
Argentina and France? Sure. Makes sense. Then it gets a little off the beaten path. Croatia’s return to the semifinals after a surprise run to the final in 2018 and a significant player overhaul certainly wasn’t expected. A semifinalist coming out of Africa wasn’t entirely out of the realm of possibility—before, reigning Cup of Nations champion Senegal was a popular pick—but few outside Marrakesh saw Morocco’s ascent coming.
So how do the potential finals stack up? At risk of being grossly wrong again, we’re here to rank the four possibilities for the neutral viewer:1. Argentina vs. France They’ve met four times since France’s 4–2 win in the 2018 final thanks to the UEFA Nations League, with France holding a 2-1-1 edge in those meetings. Croatia won the most recent one, a 1–0 result powered by a Luka Modrić penalty kick in June, although the personnel in that match was markedly different to what would be on the field in this one.
