In less than 10 minutes, the moment will be upon us. A magic moment. A moment like no other. To bring a close to this beautiful game's historic tournament.

50 players. 2 managers. 89,000 crazy fans. United by 1 dream…

…winning the World Cup.

The prize on offer. The FIFA World Cup Trophy.

For Argentines, this moment has been a long-time in the waiting. 36 years to be exact.

‘The God’, Maradona, brought the nation that crowning moment. His successor stands hours away from doing the same.

For the French, it’s deja vu. It has been just 4 years since they won this famous Cup.

But they’re hungry for more.

With footballing phenom Kylian Mbappe in their ranks, they’re hoping to do the unthinkable. Become the first nation to win back-to-back World Cups in the 32-team era.

History beckons for both teams. On another historic final night.

As the sun sets on yet another World Cup, only time will tell which team will be left heartbroken. Left stranded on 2 World Cup triumphs. Whilst the other revels in the moment.

This unpredictability. This uncertainty. These storylines.

Are why this game is so beautiful.

That’s why I.

That’s why we love this game.
