Hello, guys however it will end this will end of an ERA.
Most likely it will be the last world cup for Messi and Cr7.
Anyway, another big will skip the cup, bye bye Mane.
The two living legends of today are Messi and Ronaldo. But they still can't touch the World Cup. However, the brutal truth is that the Portugal team is not strong enough. They are more dependent on Ronaldo's performance. So, if Ronaldo continues to perform well, Portugal will do well in this World Cup.
On the other hand, Argentina team is very strong in this World Cup. I forget the last time they lost a game. They are consistently playing well. And Messi is in very good form. So we can expect a good performance from Argentina in this World Cup.
It's sad for Sadio Mane. Also I am not sure if Senegal can perform well without Sadio Mane. Sadio Mane is the most important player in the Senegal team.
Portugal has been in crisis for a long time and is playing badly.
In the qualifiers for the World Cup, they lost at home to Serbia and took only second place in their group, so they had to play additional qualifiers.
Ronaldo also played in all those matches for Portugal, but he did not really help the Portuguese team.
Honestly, I think his time has passed and Portugal would be better off playing without him. Manchester United started playing much better when they got rid of Ronaldo.
Argentina is currently a much more complete and better team than Portugal, and Messi plays much better than Ronaldo, so they have a much better chance of a good result at this World Cup.
Senegal with Mane and without him are two completely different teams. I'm sorry that such a good player misses the World Cup due to injury.
