It's time to set those alarms because the 2022 FIFA World Cup final is nearly here.
After 63 dramatic matches in Qatar, the decisive match will see France and Argentina battle it out for football's biggest trophy.
Les Bleus are aiming to become just the third team to win back-to-back World Cups, while Lionel Messi is looking to bow out of the tournament by winning it for the first time.
