One more sleep, then it’s time!
Since November 20, the desert WM in the Arab Emirate of Qatar. 32 teams are fighting for the big title, Germany already said goodbye in the preliminary round.
Two teams have made it to the final and are now dreaming of the title: Argentina with Lionel Messi (35) and France with Kylian Mbappe (23).
Don’t miss this finale! But football fans, watch out!
While most of the top games of this World Cup kicked off at 8 p.m. Central European Time (10 p.m. in Qatar), the top game of all top games is already at 4 p.m instead of.
A very unusual time! This can probably be explained by the fact that so much of the world can watch the game at a more or less pleasant time. In the USA it is eleven o’clock in the morning, in the final country Argentina the game starts at 12 o’clock, in China at midnight.
The time is not so ideal for Japanese soccer fans or supporters in Australia. There the game starts at one o’clock or three o’clock in the morning.
For German football fans, the motto is: Visit the Christmas market with the family or drink coffee at Grandma’s on the 4th Sunday in Advent before 4 p.m. tomorrow.
The game can of course be seen on free TV. the ARD starts their preliminary reports at 3 p.m. Former national goalkeeper Almuth Schult (31), ex-Stuttgart professional Thomas Hitzlsperger (40) and the 2014 world champions Sami Khedira (35) and Bastian Schweinsteiger (38) are reporting.
Jessy Wellmer (43) and Esther Sedlaczek (37) are used as moderator duo. Tom Bartels (57) comments on the final. Magenta TV, Telekom’s pay-TV service, will also be broadcasting the final.
For superstar Lionel Messi, the missing World Cup title in his collection in the 26th World Cup game would be the crowning glory.
If France wins, there would be a defending champion again after 60 years (1962/Brazil). Didier Deschamps’ (54) team had already lifted the World Cup in Russia in 2018.
The fact is: This finale makes history…
