World Cup Final: How to Watch Argentina vs. France

I thought Brazil was the best. Where is that team?

Brazil was the favorite going into the tournament but lost to Croatia in the quarterfinals.

How about the Americans and Canadians?

The United States made the round of 16, a reasonably good performance for the team, but lost there to the Netherlands. Canada, playing in its first World Cup since 1986, lost all three of its preliminary games.

What’s next?

In club football, the Champions League Final is scheduled for Istanbul on June 10. It may include Paris St.-Germain, the wealthy team that includes Messi, Mbappé and Neymar, Brazil’s biggest star.

The women’s World Cup will be played in Australia and New Zealand starting next July, with an expanded field of 32 teams (up from 24 in 2019).

The next men’s World Cup, in 2026, will be in North America with games in the United States, Canada and Mexico and an expanded field of 48 teams (up from 32).
