You are funny.... Morocco beats Belgium, number 2 in the world, we thought it was a mistake, beat Spain we started wondering what is going on, went on to removed Portugal. If the same people beat France, what makes you think Argentina is not beatable

You can beat all these teams by playing defensive and countering.. But not with Argentina.

Argentina does not play like Spain or Portugal or Belgium..

Argentina does not play unnecessary crosses like Spain and Portugal were doing.

If you watched yesterday's game, you will know that Morocco can't beat Argentina.

Benzema is set to return

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema could make a shock appearance for France in Sunday's World Cup Final.

Rumours swirling that the Real Madrid forward is flying back out to Qatar.

The Ballon d'Or winner suffered a thigh injury in training on the eve of the World Cup and was expected to be ruled out of the whole tournament.

But France did not call-up a replacement for Benzema and he is still officially registered in their 26-man squad, so could play a role against Argentina if he has recovered, says the London Evening Standard.

Benzema has now returned to full training with Real Madrid and, according to multiple reports in Spain, could return to Qatar after France set up a final against Argentina.

France coach Didier Deschamps refused to rule out a shock return for Benzema after the 2-0 win over Morocco on Wednesday night, saying he "prefers not to answer" when asked the possibility of the 34-year-old re-joining his squad.

Shock return: Karim Benzema is now fit and is still registered with France's World

The Goat and the kid

How many times have France won the World Cup?


France have won the famous tournament twice; firstly in 1998, and more recently in 2018.

In fact, despite France's major reputation as one of the leading footballing nations, they had only ever made the semi-finals three times before their eventual win in 1998, which was their first ever World Cup final. Even in 1990 and 1998, they failed to qualify - which made their win just before the turn of the century more impressive.

How many World Cups have Argentina won?

Argentina has won two FIFA World Cup titles in the country's illustrious footballing history, behind only Brazil's world-best five and level with Uruguay amongst South American nations.

La Albiceleste won their first World Cup title in 1978 as hosts. They won a second title two World Cups later as Diego Maradona led Argentina to glory in the 1986 edition hosted by Mexico. This tournament featured the famous 'Hand of God' goal that saw Argentina get past England in the quarterfinals
