However, Kylian Mbappe provided two magical moments late in the second half to force overtime. Later on, Messi gave Argentina the advantage once more in extra time, and Mbappe added his third goal in the waning seconds of extra time.
During the penalties, Mbappe made the first one from the penalty spot, beating Emiliano Martinez while maintaining composure. But later, Kingsley Coman and Aurelien Tchouameni both missed and sealed France’s doom while Argentina erupted in euphoria. It was indeed the best World Cup final that has ever been witnessed.
But now a petition has been circulating calling for a rematch.
A petition calling for a rematch of the World Cup final has 200,000 signatures from French supporters. But does the championship game need to be repeated? It would, at least, if 200,000 French supporters had their way. This is due to the petition asking for a rematch of the 2022 World Cup final having that many participants.
The peition can be signed here.
Why does France desire a rematch for the World Cup championship?
They are stating that they want a rematch as they think Argentina ‘purchased’ the referee in the first place. In addition, they disagree that Angel Di Maria, who was instrumental in the game’s first goal after being fouled by Ousmane Dembele, should not have received a penalty. Additionally, they allege that Mbappe was fouled during the setup of Argentina’s second goal.
In addition to 200,000 signatures, the petition has received more than 80,000 comments.
Will the 2022 World Cup final game be rerun?
There is zero likelihood that the championship game will be repeated. While French supporters may be dissatisfied with Szymon Marciniak’s refereeing in the final, the rest of the world actually thought it was rather competent.
