First, the referee's level has lowered the level of competition.
Second, the strength of both teams is one of the worst in history.
Third, the teams whose strength has been reduced on both sides have not played their due level.
First, the referee level is not good.
The referee has no obvious bias, basically 50-50. However, he has too many decisions to play or not to play, which interferes with the rhythm of the game and makes him one of the protagonists in the final. A good referee is invisible, which makes the whole game go smoothly.
Second, the team level is not good.
Just compare the lineup of previous World Cup finals horizontally. Too many players failed to participate due to injury or other reasons. Are Argentina and France really not as strong as their previous teams?
Third, the team did not play its due strength.
The Frenchman didn't shoot in the first half, so he stopped talking. Argentina is used to not exerting its strength in key competitions. Even if it won, it didn't actually play any decent tactics. I only remember that lautaro missed the golden opportunity again and again. Is such a striker really worthy of the World Cup?
To sum up, I watched the game with a wry smile. The two sides are very intense, passionate and fast-paced, but I must say that this is a mutual pecking, and the players, referees, tactics and level are not good.
