Guys, interested to hear your view on this, something I was debating my friend on. This is more of a ratings/business question that is probably pure soccer:
My friend thinks an Argentina vs. Portugal final would be a lot more lucrative and attractive for FIFA, as it will serve as a final and perfect chapter to the whole CR7 vs. Messi saga.
I on the other hand think, while the match-up above would be a dream final for FIFA and media in general , a Brazil Vs. France would be a bigger success, given that the two are easily the best two teams and have two of the best players in the world, in addition to all the other stats on the respective teams.
Of course , a Brazil vs. Argentina final would also be a dream matchup for FIFA and while it is, I think having Europe on one hand and SA on the other is even more of a lucrative prospect, both from a soccer as well as a business prospective.
