Who makes it to the World Cup 2022 final remains to be seen, but Argentina forward Lionel Messi will be eager to do so.
Messi, 35, will play in his final World Cup tournament as he heads into the latter stages of his incredible career.
It may also be the last appearance for Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, who is not getting any younger at the age of 37.
The World Cup 2022 final will be played just six days before Christmas, and there may be no greater gift during the holiday season than the World Cup trophy.
A glance back at prior finals ahead of the World Cup 2022 final
The last three World Cup finals have been entertaining, to say the least.
In 2018, France triumphed over Croatia with a 4-2 victory at the Luzhniki Stadium in Russia on 15 July.
A Mario Mandzukic 18th-minute own goal gave Didier Deschamps' side the lead.
Croatia hit back through Ivan Perisic in the 28th minute before Antoine Griezmann scored a vital penalty in the 38th minute.
Paul Pogba (59') and Kylian Mbappe (65') added to Les Bleus' lead before Mandzukic struck the other end in the 69th minute.
France will hope they can reproduce their performances from that year's tournament and make it to the World Cup 2022 final.
THE WORLD CUP FINAL! ⚽️🏆 https://t.co/BrMvCCYta3
It was heartbreak for Messi and Argentina in the 2014 World Cup final.
Germany secured a 1-0 victory in extra time thanks to Mario Gotze's 113th-minute effort.
Spain was the winner of the 2010 World Cup final with a 1-0 victory over the Netherlands through another extra-time winner.
Andreas Iniesta scored in the 116th minute in a scrappy affair that saw Dutch defender John Heitinga sent off in the 109th minute.
