Messi and Ronaldo are still icons of world football. Although now their performance is declining in each of the teams they defend. But his appearance is still awaited by most football lovers. Moreover, this is a World Cup where these two players have never lifted the trophy of the biggest party in football. Not only that, disputes between two fans still occur, especially on social media, both fans are still comparing who is better between the two even though there are now many talented young players born.
Even if these two have retired, that won't erase the fact that they are once an icon in the football industry, the same as with Muhammad Ali in boxing. Even if he isn't active in that said sport anymore his names are still everywhere and being talked about up until now. It is normal for their performance to decline over the years because they are only a human and they grow old too where their ability can deteriorate.
The time will come that they will be replaced by a much younger and more skilled player although it is not easy for them to be in the level of those legends that we know. They need to practice and have more experience.
It is very true, I think that at this time it is very difficult for players like them to come out, for now the new generation is not at that level, we will wait another 3 or 4 years to see if the next generations of relief present us with football more colorful, here in our current time we not only have Messi and CR7, we cannot forget Neymar, Salah, they are players who score in some way, Modric himself and Lewandowski, these are very good world figures, and years ago I I really liked the generation that was there, Totti, Nakata, Zidane, Ronaldo, Vieri the bull, Inzaghi, Luis Figo, and after them came Ronaldinho, Messi, CR7, and more, but those who are promising now like Mbappé, Haaland They do not meet my expectations.
There is a possibility that Portugal and Argentina could play in the finals, just like almost most world cups. Which is why I am still holding out hope one last time, I know that 4 years from now it would be quite difficult for Ronaldo to be the striker for Portugal, and maybe Messi won't be there as well. This means this is the last time that we are going to see Argentina and Portugal having a chance of finals against each other to see these two giants.
I know that Argentina does have a chance but Portugal doesn't and they are given low odds but I just hope some pure luck and something happens and we watch that. I guarantee you, in ANY combination of finals, that would be the most viewed finals ever.
Portugal and Argentina had great players before Messi and Ronaldo, and they will have them after them too, don't worry
You are too young to remember Eusebio, but he was the best footballer in the world in his time, better than Messi and Ronaldo, and with him the Portuguese national team was very strong.
And what can we say about Kempes who brought Argentina the title of world champion in 1978 or Maradona who managed to do it with Argentina in 1986?
I'm sure that even after Messi and Ronaldo, new great footballers will appear in Portugal and Argentina and that we will see the two national teams again in the finals of world competitions.
Eusebio was better than Messi and Ronaldo? What are you referring to? And how does that even look like? When Messi makes soccer look as easy as one could ever imagine it to be, how did Eusebio make it look even easier?
I think it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to argue that Eusebio was better. What makes sense though is when someone says times were different and at that specific time player X was the best in the world. I doubt that Eusebio would have ever had better stats these days than Messi if they played at the same time.
I also don't think that a World Cup title decides whether you are a good player or not. When you are born into a county that simply can't win the title, does that automatically mean that you can't be a good player?
Well, without a doubt, stars should appear in the style of CR7 and Messi, for now Haaland and Mbappé are appearing, although for me Haaland is much better than Mbappé, this without a doubt I think that in the World Cup we will meet more young and emerging stars, that It is what is expected in theory and Real Madrid knows it, like Barcelona and the clubs in Europe, it is a pity that Italy is not in the World Cup in Sweden, of those countries there are many promises that do not have the opportunity to have visualization, but surely at some point they will be announced, that is something that is fulfilled, at the end of 1-2 years, we will have more stars, of that I am sure.
It is often hard to tell when you have two players like Mbappe and Haaland whether one is really much better than the other. A major difference between the two is that Haaland comes across as more down to earth and wants the success no matter what. His mind is focused solely on the game and on nothing else. You can literally see it when he is trying to score, while Mbappe often lacks the extra bit of motivation. It will be a lot of fun to have Haaland around for many years.
Well, you are right, France will always be a team that can give a lot to talk about, they are very well trained, Germany also has a lot of power, I also see that Muller is unstoppable, this is going to be very good, although as I said before, I think it would be good if a player like CR7 and Messi they will stay with this World Cup, Brazil is very dangerous, they have a great team and everything to win, besides the Brazilians never look tired and in their country what is breathed is pure football, on the other hand I think that for him The next World Cup will also be very good, there will be more countries and the fact of thinking that we will enjoy football matches much more, that it will be longer, is something that at least excites me.
Surely there will be places where you can find alcohol in Qatar. The only question is whether you should be willing to look for that risk. There can be severe penalties in such countries. I think the weather conditions will be the biggest challenge for most players. The best teams mainly have players playing in top European competitions, and there it is quite cold around November and you can easily have temperatures around freezing. Then as a player you have to get used to if you suddenly have to play football in the sun with 30 degrees. Because of that, we could see some surprises in the group stage. After all, not all of them have the same amount of time to prepare because of the competition that is in full swing.
With regard to alcohol on the courts in Qatar, it is a unique luxury, I really would like to enjoy the games with a good beer in hand and eating some hot dogs, it would not be bad at all, also in Qatar there are other customs, maybe not They don't have Hot Dogs for sale but more regional foods, I don't dislike either, knowing everything that has to do with Qatar is a great way to enjoy this country, the gastronomy and the customs that they have, but as you say, it is good to have in Ceunta qeu will allow this type of freedom, this World Cup will have many good things, I hope to see innovations and more than football.
In this informative article they give much more details:
