This is the one. Spain — the most complete team of the tournament — against Argentina, the defending champions, with Lionel Messi heading into what is almost certainly the last match of his international career. If the match goes to extra time, you can expect a finish closer to 3:00 AM IST. If it goes to penalties, later still.
What to Expect
The third-place match is France vs England — two nations with genuine quality, playing for pride and the chance to finish third at the biggest World Cup in history. Mbappé and Kane can still claim the Golden Boot. They have both won it once before. They have a chance here to make history by winning it again. Mbappé is the leading joint-scorer with Messi, lagging behind only in assists.
The Final begins at 12:30 AM IST on July 20. Spain vs Argentina. Rodri vs Enzo Fernández. Lamine Yamal vs Argentina’s defence. And somewhere in the middle of it all — Lionel Messi, on the biggest stage in the sport, in what may well be his last competitive appearance for Argentina. This is the match that defines the tournament. This is the one people will still be talking about in twenty years.
