LUSAIL, Qatar (AP) - The Latest from the World Cup final between Argentina and France:

Argentines woke up ready to watch the national team play for its third World Cup title amid a national feeling of unity and joy that is rare for a country that has been engulfed in an economic crisis for years and has one of the worst inflation rates in the world.
