is the video assistant referee. >> [cheering] >> For France, Hugo Lloris can become the first captain ever to lift the World Cup twice. Dayot Upamecano is fully recovered and reclaims his place from Konaté in the back four. Varane is fine. Adrien Rabiot, who also missed the semi-final, reclaims his place from Youssouf Fofana. Messrs. Griezmann and Mbappé both scored in the last World Cup final. Olivier Giroud is another of five in this side who also started the equivalent game in Moscow 4 and 1/2 years ago. It is the same 11 that started the quarter-final here against England. Mbappé, 11 and 1/2 years Messi's junior, his clubmate, he already has the medal. Two days shy of his 24th birthday, Kylian Mbappé could have two of them. Argentina's number 10, Maradona, Messi, each in his turn there supernaturally great. Maradona won the World Cup. The complete utopian narrative demands of Messi that he also wins the World Cup. High noon on a sizzling summer's day in Buenos Aires. 4:00 on a chill Parisian Sunday afternoon. Nightfall in Doha. The final of the 22nd World Cup. France again or Argentina at last. Each for the right to a third star on their national jersey. Bundles of romance around it, yes, but Alan, what is the nuts and bolts reality of this football match? >> Well, I suppose you would argue that Argentina are under a little bit more pressure. They've got the bulk of their supporters here. Obviously fans are World Cup winners, holders of this competition. They've been there, seen it, done it. For Argentina, there's so much expectation to bring that trophy home for Lionel Messi. >> [cheering] >> Can they live up to the occasion? >> Argentina beginning the World Cup final with a back four. They have altered through the competition indeed within games. That is the first foul by Tchouaméni. At the back of Alexis Mac Allister. >> [screaming] >> Argentina's sixth final. They have won two of five so far. France's fourth World Cup final. They have won two of three. France didn't even qualify in 1990 and 1994. Now four finals in seven editions since. The years spanning the millennium, they have been the world's preeminent force. That is a foul on Adrien Rabiot. >> Yeah, De Paul's playing on this right hand side. Di María actually on the other. Didn't disguise that too well De Paul, but uh thought Ángel Di María might come over onto the other flank. He might well do at some stage. Try and find some space. You know Mbappé doesn't track back. Messi drifting onto that side as well, it could be a potent weapon for them. >> Just want to belly let it roll out. Pick some Messi. And spread adroitly by Messi for Di Maria. And Di Maria can loft it in. Not cleared by Rabiot, taken up by De Paul. Messi. De Paul. Scooped up towards Alvarez. And he was offside. >> He should be full of it, shouldn't he? Alvarez. Two his goals. It's been a little too early. They held the line well, France there. >> Lionel Scaloni arrived here as the youngest coach at the World Cup. >> [cheering] >> It's worth recalling though that Cesar Luis Menotti was younger still than him, only 39 when he first won it for Argentina in 1978. >> [cheering] >> Just a challenge at the back of Messi and a stern look from Szymon Marciniak at Upamecano. >> Well, the opportunity was there that he couldn't resist. Upamecano just leave a little bit on Lionel Messi. >> Pelé won the World Cup three times as a player, Zagallo twice as a player, once as a coach. Didier Deschamps can keep their company if he wins here. Once as a player and he hopes today second time as a coach. Understated, never flashy, never flashy when he played. But boy, he gets it. And boy, he gets it done. Spread by Romero. Delightfully taken by Di Maria. On by Tagliafico and then by Mac Allister. Di Maria, what do you make of his selection ahead of Paredes? >> Well, he started the tournament well and then he he dropped dropped away, but big games, big names and he's certainly one of those. >> Mbappe, Rabiot. Hernandez has gifted it back to Messi. And now De Paul. Gifting it again towards Di Maria seen by Kounde. Has assistance from Dembele and Griezmann. >> That's a thick touch. >> Alvarez, what a pop! McAllister got plenty on it. >> Mhm. Bright start from Argentina and one of the best defending from Griezmann, but they've had plenty of the ball in the attacking third Argentina. >> Mbappe. Hernandez whose brother, don't forget, started the World Cup in that position. Replaced him just 10 minutes into the tournament. And his knee gave way in the concession of that shock early goal against Australia. Feels like a memory now from a distant and different lifetime. Varane. Hernandez rolled off it by Messi who's penalized. >> Coming round on the blind side Messi. His chance to try and nick it. Good enough strike from Alexis McAllister who's had a good tournament. Growing all the time in an Argentina shirt. >> Upamecano selected ahead of Konaté. That would have been a conundrum for Didier Deschamps, as well. Griezmann always plays. His 74th consecutive French game. Tchouaméni, here for the sparkling goal against England. >> [cheering] >> Foul on Rabiot. Varane Spelled wide towards Hernández. Played by Molina, collected by Upamecano. Regathered then by Fernández. Sifted through by Messi. Moved on now by Mac Allister. Taken up at pace by Di María. Face-to-face with Dembélé. Mac Allister Fernández Nicked by Griezmann, won back for Álvarez. Now, Ángel Di María. Di María's cut back. Has reached Rodrigo De Paul. DE PAUL STRIKES. SAVE deflection from Varane flies wide. They'll have been sharper in all areas of the pitch in these opening minutes, Argentina. But, Molina run just gives De Paul a little bit of space and time to get his shot away, and that could have gone anywhere. >> [cheering] >> A pretty imposing start from Argentina. Who own the stadium >> [cheering] >> for numbers, noise, and color. Phenomenal support. Here is their phenomenal player. Messi to the near post, away comfortably by Griezmann. Recycled by De Paul. Messi again. He sees Griezmann, who again isn't having it. Now De Paul. Up into the air by Rabiot. Alvarez is competing. Lloris couldn't gather. The referee has intervened, and France have a clearing free kick. I'll talk about forced onto the back foot here, France. They're finding Argentina sharp, hungry opponents. >> [screaming] >> Lloris comes and just gets locked off. Romero actually gets pushed into the keeper. >> [screaming] >> Hard he winded here. Lloris of course, one of those who is a veteran of the last World Cup final. It's his 36th birthday a week tomorrow, Boxing Day. And he may be in action for his club. But he received one in the midriff there from his clubmate. Romero Tomorrow morning, they'll be friends again. >> Yeah, Upamecano though shoved Romero into Lloris. You would imagine it's just winded he needs a a few minutes. This this stoppage won't won't unduly hurt France. They need to just have a little chat, settle down, find the rhythm. Here's on behalf of Didier Deschamps for Hugo Lloris, a 20th World Cup appearance. He's gone past Manuel Neuer. That is a a new goalkeeping record. And he has air back back in his lungs. I don't think he's too happy with that challenge, Lloris, but if he saw what we did, Romero Romero was fairly innocent. It's not of course the only clash of club mates in this game. The other is one of the others is Mbappé and Messi. Good win by Giroud. Up by Tagliafico. Up and in by Rabiot, moved on by Griezmann. Stepping in is Romero who's lost it momentarily to Griezmann. De Paul is there to tidy up as is his want. Fernandez Such a willing runner. Alvarez He'd do that all day down the channels. A target to his teammates. Fernandez De Paul Messi He's seen his friend Di Maria again. Di Maria importantly seen by Tchouameni. Di Maria again to Paul Messi Fernandez charged down Alvarez handled. >> [screaming] >> Well, if Argentina can switch the ball quickly to Di Maria as they've been trying to do and he gets a one-on-one against Jules Kounde France might have problems there. Rabiot Griezmann Kounde Dembélé has picked his way through. Griezmann Dembélé Theo Hernandez Kylian Mbappé where he likes it. Mbappé that's sweet Rabiot Good protection from Martinez. The way he plays those one-twos at times it's almost impossible to stop. They get themselves in the gap in the space quickly. Molina blocks his man off. >> [cheering] [cheering] >> Alvarez instead Rabiot taken back by Alvarez shifted very quickly on by Mac Allister. Sharp ball movement from Argentina. Sharp feet from Di Maria. And here now is Lionel Messi. Cut out by Kunde. Chased up by Tagliafico. It's Di Maria who's offside. >> Well, the alarm bells are ringing for France, aren't they? The way this Argentine team have started, the way they're putting the passes together. >> Di Maria once again featuring out on that left-hand side. >> Now, Di Maria started all three of the group games. Was unavailable for the first knockout round against Australia. And uh since then until now had played just a few minutes right at the end of the extra time period in that crazy game against the Netherlands. >> [cheering] >> Griezmann dispossessed. Alvarez. De Paul. MacAllister. >> France have got to pick up the pace in this game. Again, second best. Slow. >> Tina visibly the lion's share. >> Yeah. And a lot of it in advanced areas. It's going to bring you questions. >> [cheering] >> Difficult to get the ball up to give the Asia room. Defense, they're trying to block the pathway. Hernandez >> on it by De Paul. And here is Messi. And here is Rodrigo De Paul. LIONEL MESSI AND ANGEL DI MARIA. >> It bobbled up in front of him. >> Well, that's the way it's been for France in these early stages. Just not at the races. They get away with it once more. >> A tricky one to take. >> I'm recalling again that wonderful game between these two nations in Kazan four years ago. And Angel Di Maria scored one of the most decorative goals of that superb match. Benjamin Pavard, you might recall with a simply wondrous half volley. He's on the bench for France today. Scored another. Varane. Dembélé for France who are still to settle. Rabiot. Hernandez. Mbappé. >> Nice exchange with Kunde. The ball is crossed. >> [cheering] >> It is blocked at source by McAllister. You never quite know whether you're going to get an end product off Dembélé. He looks so threatening. Not always effective with that final pass. Hernandez getting it back from Mbappé. >> [cheering] >> And tumbling under challenge from De Paul as he sought to penetrate the penalty area. And France have a free kick. Yeah, De Paul quite obviously has got this job shifting over to the right-hand side. Trying to help with Mbappé. There was challenge wasn't especially pretty either. By this time in Moscow 4 years back, France had taken a lead courtesy of Mario Mandžukić's own goal. >> [cheering] >> And here in Doha is their first window of genuine opportunity. Well, they've got some height, they've got some power France here. Floated in by Griezmann. And attacked at full velocity by Olivier Giroud. He's climbed over Ángel Di María, I think it is. Desperate to get his head on the ball. Well, that is uh a beautiful image of a part of the center forward's heart. Magnificent aerial strength. Whether or not in the end it was deemed a foul by the Polish referee. It would have been it's in. France yet to have an attempt on target. Fernandez, Messi. Alina outside of him. Fernandez. It's pulled through for Di Maria, touched on by Alvarez. Di Maria away from Kounde. HE'S GOT THE CROWD. HE'S GOT A PENALTY. DEMBELE HAD A LITTLE FLICK. DI MARIA WENT TUMBLING. AND ARGENTINA ARE THE FIRST MASSIVE OPPORTUNITY OF THE NIGHT. >> WELL, he's looked lively from the start. Does he clip his heels here? Perhaps just making Di Maria trip up. I don't think VAR are to overturn this. He's He's looked so dangerous on these one-on-ones. I thought Kounde might be in trouble, but Dembele was even in more bother there. Has to stop the Argentine. >> Lionel Messi. Lionel Messi. Goal in the last 16. Penalty in the quarterfinal. Penalty in the semifinal. Messi and the world. A breath. A heartbeat. AND MESSI! >> [cheering] >> A GOAL FOREVERMORE. >> [cheering] >> PERHAPS HIS MOMENT FOR INFINITY. As if predestined. >> Well, they deserve it, don't they? By far the better team so far. And I'm not sure anybody in this stadium thought he was going to miss this. Talk about a cool head. France have not come to the party yet. >> [cheering] >> They've hardly kicked a ball in anger, and they find themselves a goal down. >> [cheering] >> But a long, long way to go here. Whatever the outcome, he has had at least his moments. He and they, tens of thousands of them, millions of them >> [cheering] >> over the parks and squares and bars and cafes of Buenos Aires. >> [cheering] >> His 12th World Cup goal, and that draws him level with Pelé, and his sixth goal of this tournament, which has him at the front of the race for the golden boots. Messi six, Mbappé five, Álvarez and Giroud four. >> [screaming] >> Mbappé, his turn perhaps. >> [cheering] >> Moved out for Álvarez. >> Well, that should certainly wake up France. Argentina came out with much more purpose, aggression, getting to the ball quicker. France just couldn't match them, pushed onto the back foot from the first minute. >> [cheering] >> France's fourth World Cup final, and the first time they have trailed. >> [cheering] >> Find of that. Messi has that goal tally having also missed a penalty against Poland in the group stage. >> [cheering and screaming] >> Di Maria is full of mischief but he's lost the ball. Giroud >> Yeah, Romero just a little over inches to get his toe on the ball there. >> Antoine Griezmann again one of the players of the tournament in charge of a dead ball for France. On the present and mightily gifted. He'll get another go. Few little subplots developing on the edge of the penalty area. >> Yeah. He's got to keep his eyes peeled in those situations. So >> Short. Awkward little dink this for Griezmann. Catch him. In by Griezmann towards Giroud. Out by Romero. Chased up by Hernandez. A pretty hefty collision and an urgent signal from the referee that medical attention is required. Hernandez and Messi. >> Hernandez caught it in the stomach but Messi caught it with his head. That's why there was the urgency from the ref. >> [cheering] >> He's okay. >> [cheering] [cheering] [cheering] >> Argentina failed to score in their last two World Cup finals. Beaten in extra time in Rio de Janeiro 8 years ago. Back in 1990, beaten by a penalty 5 minutes from time from Andy Brehme in Rome. That's their first World Cup final goal since Jorge Burruchaga in the Azteca in 1986. The 3-2 winner against West Germany. Fernandez Messi has drifted wide. Wants to take on Fernandez. He'll happily cash it in for a corner. >> Yeah, he he had to wait for the ref's permission to come on, and he just stepped onto the pitch. He didn't go any further, so he found himself in a bit of space. >> In by Messi out I think by Giroud from the near post and now Messi is offside. Much better corner this one from the earlier one. Giroud doing his job. He's had a super tournament too. As oddly he did four years ago. I say oddly because as France's center forward he failed to score a goal in Russia. That hasn't been the case here. And by Kounde, Dembele snatched back by McAllister. Fernandez made himself time and Molina once more can advance from full back. Alvarez and Messi once more Di Maria is wide. Messi picks his way through the middle. McAllister. Now Di Maria. Slightly clipped it unusually. >> Yeah, he did. Saw the good run of Alvarez. Tried to pick him out. But we are yet to see a reaction France to that goal. Tchouameni Giroud, Mbappe They've got a nice firm grip on things at the moment Argentina. They bounced themselves Alan. Returning to one of the early conversational points that the selection of Di Maria right now by Scaloni looks inspired. >> It does, yeah. It does. Really sharp. Ball exchanging Messi. >> [cheering] >> And Messi again. Mac Allister, Messi. Full pirouette. Asked a lot of Di Maria. >> [cheering] >> And Di Maria has come up with a very clever answer. Fernandez. Mac Allister, Alvarez. Fired wildly. They're just looking inspired though, Argentina. Bit between the teeth. So sharp. Contrast at the moment, France looking lethargic. Messi. >> [cheering] >> Upamecano got enough of it for now, but it's coming back. Fernandez, Alvarez. Fernandez. De Paul. Kounde watchfully out and very further clear. But it's coming back again. Right now, Argentina have France where they want them. It's as well as I've seen them play this first half an hour or so, Argentina. What was a good tackle. Upamecano. Had to be. Recalling too that he gave them the lead from the penalty spot when first they played on this ground back on the 22nd of November against Saudi Arabia. And we all recall what happened thereafter. >> [cheering] >> Whipped it forward by Rabiot. Not from Romero's header. Nine of the last 10 teams to score first in the World Cup final have gone on to win it. Exception, France. Who were one up courtesy of a Zidane penalty in Berlin in 2006. You may recall Zidane didn't complete that game. In this game, France have yet to have an attempt on goal. >> They've just not got going and they're struggling to get a foot on the ball, to find any rhythm at all. >> Messi super pass. Di Maria Messi scratched out by Kounde. So, Fernandez He's been one of the unsung stars of this tournament for sure. >> Yeah, only young but more than willing to take responsibility. >> Loose from Romero and there's Mbappé away from Romero but there's Fernandez. That's a large part of the job he does. That's a fire he put out before it began to rage. Messi >> Oh, lovely. >> Delightful. Alvarez, here's McAllister. DI MARIA IS THE SPARE MAN AND HOW DI MARIA GLORIOUS GOAL. ARGENTINE GOLD. >> [cheering] >> THAT IS JUST BEAUTIFUL. >> [cheering] [cheering] [cheering] >> One of the goals of the tournament in terms of team work. No surprise that Lionel Messi's involved. What about that for a little two touch? And afterwards, you knew McAllister had seen his man. You knew he was aware of where Di Maria was and you knew Di Maria was going to finish it. That's exquisite. It has seemed an inevitability about this. They've just been too much for France. The France can't cope with it. They cannot cope. Absolutely brilliant. >> Ángel Di Maria who scored the goal which made them continental champions last year at the expense of Brazil has come up with another iconic Argentine moment. Tears. He blinks back the moment. And France have yet to land a punch. And France are on the canvas. Have they what it takes to bounce off the canvas, bounce off the ropes, and make this final a contest? >> [cheering] >> Well, the good news is there's still a large portion of this match to go, but >> [cheering] >> they've got to double their efforts. They've certainly got to sharpen up front in every department of the pitch. >> It's been a a huge shock to see Argentina this superior. But, we all came into this game expecting a really tight, even contest. It's so one-sided so far. >> [cheering] >> McAllister downs by Kunde. >> [cheering] >> Hernández, Griezmann. Mbappé. It's a really good, firm, clear, fair challenge from Romero. And Messi's turning on halfway. >> [cheering] >> Two-goal deficit in the World Cup final has not been overturned since 1954 West Germany and Hungary. Varane Kounde, Griezmann France just cannot progress. De Paul almost toying with the French, aren't they? Argentina teasing them. And I truly hope wherever you are in the world, that you are getting a a flavor for the mood here. That you're getting a taste of the color because in an Argentine dominated stadium it is quite something. And France are about to make a couple of changes. That is the extent of the emer
