The Qatar World Cup has only one final left, between Argentina and France, which will kick off on December 18 (local time).
I just want to see a great match.
Both teams are seeking their third World Cup championship. Argentina has not won the World Cup in 36 years, since 1986. France will be looking to follow up on their victory in Russia, and if they win again, they will be the third nation in history to do so.
The World Cup final, which pits Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe, two of the tournament’s biggest superstars, has attracted the attention not only of football fans around the world, but also of athletes, including NBA superstar LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers, who is expected to be one of the stars of the tournament. On December 17, 2012, the Lakers’ head coach, James Bryant, announced that he would be returning to the team.
After the Lakers’ game against the Denver Nuggets on December 17 (the Lakers won 126-108), LeBron was asked by a reporter about the World Cup finals card: “I get to see two of the best guys I’ve ever played soccer with. I’m sure it will be fun,” he said, excited about the star-studded matchup between Argentina’s Messi and France’s Mbappe.
LeBron added, “I’m not going to choose [between them]. What time is the match? (Reporter answered.) I hope it’s at 7 a.m., that would be great. Then I can stay up and watch. I just want to see a great game like everyone else,” he said, hoping for the best game for the finals rather than a matchup of the best stars.
Lakers players have good relationships with many soccer players, and LeBron is one of the major shareholders of Liverpool in the Premier League and recently became a shareholder of AC Milan, which is currently ranked as the second best team in the league in Serie A.
The NBA superstars are also eagerly awaiting the Qatar World Cup Final. Will it be La Albiceleste (the nickname of the Argentina national team) or Les Bleus (the nickname of the France national team) who hoist the golden World Cup trophy? The match of the century will kick off at 6 p.m. on December 18.
