I think this may be the saddest World Cup for many around the world. Because a lot of soccer superstar that we have come to love over the years would be wearing their national team jersey for the last time on a World Cup stage, players like leonel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Toni kross, Sergio Ramos, Neymar, busquet, Alba and many more the list is long, But so far Argentina matches has had the most sort out ticket by fans so far this means that Messi would be missed the most.
This World Cup edition become last time for several star player like Cristiano Ronaldo until Lionel Messi. Fans expected both them could reach until final, between Portugal and Argentina not really interested for discussing because I think noth countries can't achieve good result on World Cup. But very sad will have between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will announce retired from national country after this World Cup edition ended. I really sad with my national country Italy failed reach to World Cup this time.
Di maria also said that this will be his last world cup, he will return to play in the local argentina team, despite the rumors that juventus wants him, I doubt that juventus and Di maria will reach any agreement. about cristiano ronaldo and messi, they will only bet on the main team of their country, they will only leave their places to younger people and will continue to play in their respective clubs, in which case cristiano ronaldo will continue in manchester united and messi will remain at PSG until they retire
I can't imagine a world cup with the absence of some big names in world football,,,the likes of Argentina's Angel Di'Maria,,, Portugal's Cristiano RONALDO,, Argentine's Leo MESSI Brazilians Marcelo,,French's Karim BENZEMA,, Polish Robert Lewandoski,, Uruguay's Luis Suarez and Edison Cavani,, German's Manuel Nuer,, and so many others that will be calling it an end to thier international careers they will be missed but the good thing is that upcoming stars are always available to replace them and that will be advantage to the different national teams that will be affected.. but surely they will be missed... It's gonna be an interesting world cup because this players that might be playing their last world'cup will want to call it an end to their international career with at least a successful world cup outing..
Your statement looks especially interesting against the background of the fact that there will be no reigning European champions, the Italian team, at this World Cup.
By the way, today Roberto Baggio spoke on this topic, saying that such a format is insane and the European champion should automatically qualify for the World Championship. I tend to agree with him, there is 100 percent logic in this.
I agree that the European champion and other continents champions should directly go to world championship, but at the same time do we really want a team that was good enough to win Europe, but then became not so good and just be there for everyone to beat them?
I want them to fight for it and earn it, otherwise what is the point of it? This is why I both agree and disagree, I agree that one achievement should be rewarded, but I think maybe something other than entry to WC right away? Maybe something else, like maybe easier path to WC? Or better things for next Europe one? I do not know, but direct entry to WC shouldn't be it, because one team could get worse between Europe win to WC entry.
The European continent is where you have the most competitive and famous leagues, so it is natural that they also have the best teams for this world, but unfortunately Europe has lost against the American continent when it comes to having great players in the main team, an example of this is that argentina and brazil, which are two strong teams, have more than 70% of their players playing in europe and when it comes their turn to play against a european country they easily win
