Not only Modric, but there are many other players who are likely to retire from their national team after the 2022 world cup. Ronaldo, Messi and many other top players seem the most likely candidates to retire after this.
Rakitic and Modric are two good midfielders for Croatia, they are great players with almost the same quality. I'm not really sure about Croatia in this world cup, that's because there are other countries that are really good to be favourites, like Brazil, France, Argentina or maybe England too. I chose Brazil as the favourite, they are looking very strong for the 2022 world cup.
It will be an historic moment, and it will allow new stars to be formed. I'll keep an eye on the newer players as well as they're also going to try their best to put their names in the world stage. This is their opportunity.
If you check all the previous world cups, there were a lot of retirements but not names as big as this before, there are no names as big as Ronaldo and Messi, those are the two greatest players ever in history of football and they are retiring on the same world cup, well at least from world cups. That is why we are taking a closer look to all the other names as well. This is why, it’s going to be difficult to watch them, and if they lose which they probably will, it will feel even worse.
There is no doubt that this World Cup is going to be one of the most exciting ever. We are talking about the World Cup after a pandemic and almost the start of the third world war. As a result of this World Cup, a lot of the greats of the game will also be retiring after this tournament.
In my opinion, this will be the most important World Cup in the history of the game. At the very least, this will be the most important World Cup of this century up to this point. There is a good chance that they will lose the game. (About Ronaldo and Messi) It will probably be the last time that we will be able to see them play in the international arena, which is why I am going to watch it.
