Yes, it happened unexpectedly, Ronaldo was a football player that many teams wanted to see in their squard, but this season has changed everything, he cannot now score goals as before, and most likely he will not become such an important player for Portugal at this World Cup as it was before. And Messi for Argentina can become a team leader, because he got used to PSG, it seems he found his game.

At Manchester United he didn't get the ball supply he usually got at his previous team, especially when he was still in Real Madrid's uniform. Manchester United still have problems with teamwork which results in a lack of chemistry up front. Now Cristiano Ronaldo is not like at a young age who can still rely on speed in his game. If he has a good ball supplier then I'm sure he will be able to kill him when he is in the opponent's defense line.

Could be last World Cup for Lionel Messi due his age 35 years old right now and greatest achievement in World Cup lead until final stage on edition 2014, failed totally last World Cup edition on 2018 I think Lionel Messi has bigger ambition in this World Cup get trophies. Argentina is most lucky national country team because all their player fit not got injured like England with many players absent. It seems that Argentina did not experience significant difficulties in the group stage, but Poland and Mexico are also candidates that make it difficult for Argentina to qualify for the round of 16.

We all have to accept that Ronaldo is a legend. But now Ronaldo's performance has no splash of legend. The quality of Ronaldo's game has now become like that of a normal footballer. He has a lot of skills but his age is constantly holding him back. Hopefully he will somehow return to form for the World Cup.

You know, there's something very interesting and optimistic to you and argentinians

EA predicted correctly the last 3 world cup winners, 2010, 2014 and 2018, and according to that prediction, Argentina will play against Brazil in finals
It's something to consider hehehe, it's a good indicator to bet in Argentina.

When you look at his statistics, a big drop in his game, especially in the number of goals scored, this season is obvious.
The last season was not very successful for him either.
He was not even among the top 10 footballers in the selection for the footballer of the year, which says a lot about the quality of his play lately.
His time has definitely passed and it is questionable how much he can help Portugal at the World Cup.
In the qualifiers for the World Cup, Portugal was only second in the group, behind Serbia, and had to play additional qualifiers, and Ronaldo was very bad in those matches.

I don't think Ronaldo's performance has really dropped, I think he hasn't been lucky with the Manchester United squad since this season. At least last season he carried the club on his shoulders and saved them from relegation. The world cup will give him a chance to play where his comfort level is similar to that of Juventus and Real Madrid where he got lots of trophies. The only issue Ronaldo will face is his decline in pace due to age factor but if well feed with good passes i trust him to do quality finishing

I also enjoy Christian Ronaldo's games, but recently Ronaldo's have dropped drastically compared to when he was much younger, actually when he started at manchester united and also real Madrid later going to Juventus he also played well, coming back to man u now his performance have dropped but even at that Ronaldo is still a legend and playing at the world cup I know he will do his best.

Qatar World Cup 2022 – Will Argentina Land Messi With The Coveted International Trophy He Fully Desires?
The pinnacle of international football is nearly upon us. The Qatar World Cup is unique because it’s the first World Cup to be held in the Arab world, and the first held in Asia since the 2002 World Cup which took place in South Korea and Japan.  

Anticipation amongst supporters is building across the globe and many fans will be getting ready by filling their sticker albums, hanging their world cup wall charts, and noting the key dates of when their country will be playing.  

There’s also another special element to this World Cup because it’s likely that we’ll see the final outing for two footballing superstars – Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Both of these players have domestic trophies aplenty, with Messi conquering Spain and the UEFA Champions League, before moving to Ligue 1 in France. Ronaldo has triumphed in the English Premier League, La Liga and in Seria A, whilst also guiding Portugal to a famous European Championship win in 2016.  

Whilst there are many top international teams participating in the tournament, and we expect one of these to eventually win the trophy, there are a couple of factors including the heat and injuries to key players which could throw up some surprise results along the way.  

This article looks ahead and attempts to predict the scores from round 1 all the way to who will be crowned World Cup champions on the 18 December.

We have fancied Brazil to take home the trophy from the very beginning and nothing through the tournament will suggest that any other side can match them in terms of quality. The only issue that could see Brazil falter is their defensive capabilities, which may give the likes of Mbappe and France the opportunity for goals, but in the end Brazil will have too much firepower and will take the title in a World Cup final for the ages. 

especially since argentina won the copa america for the first time in 2021 they should be strong enough to reach the quarter-/semifinals in qatar

I don't think that anyone can say that a certain nation will win the World Cup because it's impossible to predict it. A nation can have the best players, but those players can too have a bad day. And if that bad day happens on the knockout match day, everything is gone.

How about Brazil, Germany, Belgium, Portugal, France, they also have players who cannot be underestimated, of the 5 countries I mentioned have experience and even have the most World Cup trophies from the two countries I have listed in Above, of course this will be a World Cup match that is highly anticipated by many people, who knows who will come out as World Cup Champion this year, at least we can't draw conclusions about Argentina to become champions this year, but is it possible Argentina, can? conquering these countries, because the countries I mentioned above already have a good record in this relative World Cup..

I agree with what you said in parts... Unfortunately, Brazil does not have the prestigious team as before (despite having a competitive team).
Of these teams that you mentioned, I believe that France is the team most capable of winning the Cup (even with some injured players)

By the way, Dybala wasn't injured? I was pretty sure he wouldn't be called up to go to this World Cup.

In game form, yes Argentina squad is stronger than Portugal squad. they played very solidly as a team, and we can see that based on the impressive record they have in 35 games without losing. Messi and his colleagues were able to bring Argentina to become CONMEBOL finalists. they have very strong chemistry and bonding when compared to Portugal or France, even though their team is not as star-studded as Portugal and France.
Argentina 2014, is the best in terms of depth of the players. Argentina is currently more capable even though it doesn't have many big names filling in every line.

@Lordhermes Speaking of the French and Portuguese squads, if we refer to their data and statistics on the Nations League. Portugal has the names of qualified players, especially with those of France. however, the depth of players they have is not supported by impressive performances and results.

Brazil, is one of the most favored challengers in the world cup this time. they also have a depth of players that are no less great than France have, and yes Brazil is the strongest candidate in this year's world cup.

note : I don't want to underestimate Portugal, but if Fernando Santos only relies on Ronaldo, his performance is very doubtful.  whether they will be able to qualify for the final round later, let's wait.

i think argentina is stronger than portugal. of course, Messi's best days are over, but with his experience and genius he can be the decisive player in certain moments of the game.
but you are also right ... in the past wc's everything revolved around LM and argentina could not perform well (except 2014 final against germany).

How do you like them? Or is it because of Messi? Don't anticipate much from Messi in this world cup; he will play admirably, but Argentina will disappoint the majority of you. Argentina will only get through the group stage, though. One of these teams—France, Brazil, or Portugal—will take home the trophy.

and now here is the official wc squad of argentina, one of the favorites to win the world cup this year

In football matches there is no golden boy or anything like that, even though this is Messi's last match in the World Cup relationship, it is not quite possible with CR7 which incidentally is the same as Messi, in this World Cup relationship it is not quite possible this is their World Cup match both of you, because we see many strong countries like Brazil, Germany, Croatia, Spain, France, England, Belgium, and many more, among all these countries could have won the World Cup, because there is not enough possibility that Argentina and Portugal will fall from the relationship. In this case, of the 7 countries which incidentally have the most trophies, there are 2 countries that have won 5 or 4 World Cup trophies, including Italy which already has 4 World Cup trophies as well as Germany, unfortunately Italy is not included in the Relatana at the World Cup. in Qatar...

So I think it's very difficult for Argentina and Portugal to win this year's World Cup Trophy, because some countries have strong players in each country.

Mostly I feel Luis Enrique just be biased especially to the Real Madrid Spanish players, Reasons for not picking Sergio Ramos , why?
It may be that he wanta give young players a chance since Ramos is old and has a world Cup to his name already. David De far better than Kepa but I am not the Coach. ................ Dani Alves brings experience and leadership in world Cup like this, I see nothing wrong with him,  old but he is ready at heart unlike some young players.

Among the teams in Group E, Japan and Costa Rica are not very strong teams. But these two teams Germany and Spain are much stronger than them. From Team E, Germany and Spain are the most likely to win and their style of play is very good.However, their game speed is not very good because they do not have good stars in this World Cup. Compared to other groups, Germany is the strongest team in Group E, but Spain was once a very strong team when it had many stars. But there is a possibility of going to Germany in this World Cup, the stars of this team can perform very well.
