France became the world champions in 2018 when they defeated Croatia 4-2 in the final. There is a huge chance we can see them lift their second consecutive title and third overall (1998, 2018).
Diego Maradona led Argentina to two World Cup triumphs in 1978 and 1986. But this time, Argentina will have to find a way to stop Kylian Mbappe otherwise they will be stuck in the same situation as England.
