Top clips: World Cup final two, Orion returns home and 88 keys under the sea
This week, we’re wrapping up the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
After weeks of thrilling, history-making matches, we are down to the last two teams – Argentina and France.
A win for reigning champions France would make them the third team to win back-to-back finals after Italy and Brazil.
And a win for Argentina would solidify the legacy for one of football’s greats, Lionel Messi.
With kick off at 2 am (AEDT) December 19, early on Monday morning for Aussies tuning in, we’ll just have to wait and see who takes the trophy home.
Also, don’t miss an underwater pianist, a frog takeover, and Christmas cheer for some Queensland pups.
