Argentina v France : 3 things to know

Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni officially has a fully fit squad, a rarity at this stage of the competition after a grueling month-long journey to Qatar. The only hiccups were Angel Di Maria and Paulo Dybala , as the former came off the bench in the semi-final against Croatia, while the latter came off the bench for just 16 minutes, making his tournament debut. That's okay because Julian Alvarez has been excellent supporting star Lionel Messi .

France have weathered an early injury crisis with aplomb. Les Bleus are without Paul Pogba , N'Golo Kante , Karim Benzema , Kimpembe , Christopher Nkunuku , and McMenamin , who have all missed the game with pre-World Cup injuries. Then they lost Lucas Hernandez to the ACL he tore in the opening game. However, they have capitalized on their world-class depth, as Lucas Hernandez intervened admirably for his brother, and Olivier Giroud was in front of him in Benzema's absence. Excellent performance.
