錄音要點：
The World Cup Final will start soon tonight. I bet France will win the game because they have very few weaknesses. They may not be as exciting on attack as some other squads would like, given the wealth of talent at their disposal, but a second World Cup for this proud football nation would be an excitement enough, whereas, Croatia looked shaky in the first half of their semifinal to win England, and with three periods of extra time in their legs - the equivalent of a whole other match - the final should be a big valley for them to go across. Well, let's wait and see. Hope you will enjoy watching the final of the 2018 FIFA World Cup no matter wherever you are.
