The World Cup final is scheduled for Dec. 18, with the winner taking home the FIFA World Cup trophy. In case you were wondering, there's also a Women's World Cup, which will be held in Australia and New Zealand next July — and Canada will be playing. For the soccer uninitiated, that's three tough matchups: Belgium is currently second in FIFA's men's rankings, Croatia lost the 2018 World Cup final to France, and Morocco was undefeated in its World Cup qualifying run. France, the 2018 champs, are third favourite, followed by England, whose fans are praying for their first World Cup title since 1966. Unfortunately for Canadian fans, World Cup kickoff times are between 5 a.m. and 2 p.m.
