Argentina national team fans celebrate in Buenos Aires (from YouTube)
The French team showed up tonight (Sunday) for the 2022 World Cup final with the hope of making history, and becoming the first team since Brazil in 1962 to win two World Cups in a row.
This dream was shattered with a loss in the most painful way possible - 4:2 in a penalty shootout against Argentina.
The tricolors, who did not appear in the first 80 minutes, came back from a 2:0 deficit thanks to a double by Kylian Mbappe, who forced extra time and then also completed a miraculous hat trick, but at the end of 120 crazy minutes that ended in 3:3, no one is talking about him.
Kingsley Coman and Orleans Tshoumani missed in the duel, and the heart of a whole nation was broken.
