Is This World Cup SCRIPTED? France Goes Home and Messi Faces Yamal | EP 7

from The UMB Footy Podcast · host UMB Footy Podcast

The final is set and it's a La Masia showdown. Ulysses, Matt, and Beato break down Spain suffocating France to reach the final, the Tuchel disaster class that sent England home heartbroken against Argentina, and Harry Kane throwing his manager under the bus on the way out. Then it's on to the big one, Spain vs Argentina, Messi against Lamine Yamal, and the baby photo that has Matt convinced this whole World Cup might be scripted. We debate whether a good final makes Yamal a shoo in for the Ballon d'Or, who's most likely to see red for Argentina, and each drop our script for how the final plays out. Our picks are in. Listen to hear who we've got.
