Gary Lineker 'spots' Diego Maradona in the clouds as Argentina aim for World Cup glory

As we approach the 2022 World Cup final, plenty of people will be looking for signs that France or Argentina will emerge victorious at Lusail Stadium in Qatar.

After wins to nil in the semi-finals, both of the remaining teams will fancy their chances. Argentina's 3-0 victory over Croatia means they have already beaten one of the 2018 finalists while gaining revenge for their group stage loss in the same competition, while France's triumph on Wednesday night broke Morocco's resistance after an eye-catching run to the last four.

Logic can go out of the window ahead of big games, though, with England undone by a psychic lion in the quarter-finals. France will hope the Drake curse helps them prevail over Argentina, amid worries about illness sweeping through the squad ahead of the final, but Gary Lineker has found an even more tenuous omen in the other direction.
