Wednesday update: France beat Morocco 2-0 in their Wednesday semifinal to set up a Final with Argentina. This is France's fourth trip to the World Cup Final. They won the tournament in 1998, finished second in 2006, and won the tournament four years ago.
The 2022 World Cup wraps up this weekend, and one of the finalists is punching their ticket. Argentina is crushing Croatia in their Tuesday semifinal match, leading 3-0 in the final 15 minutes. A collapse is possible, but it's safe to say Argentina is advancing to the Final.
They will find out their opponent on Wednesday when France faces Morocco. Les Bleus are a -180 favorite to win the match in regular time and -390 overall to advance at DraftKings Sportsbook. The Atlas Lions are +600 in regular time and +300 overall.

This will be the sixth time Argentina has reached the World Cup Final. They last reached the Final in 2014, where they lost to Germany in extra time.
