Every time will have its own time, in the past there were certain players who were considered top stars and were awaited in the World Cup and Messi and Ronaldo appeared but soon maybe after the 2026 World Cup we will start new era with several names emerging as young stars who will enliven the World Cup.
There is Mbappe with France, Lamine Yamal with Nico Williams for Spain and also Bellingham with England as well as several other young players owned by Brazil who have now carved their names as one of the best young players in European football and of course the new era will always give an impression that is no less than the current era owned by Ronaldo and Messi for Portugal with Argentina.

Messi probably still have any chances to playing at World Cup 2026 this because all of Argentina players still support him but for Ronaldo i highly doubt he will playing at world cup 2026 this because his age will be at 40 years old besides that some of Portugal players are dislikes to him this because Ronaldo is too pushing himself to always playing with Portugal although i am sure Ronaldo has been realize that he was passed his prime

Indeed this is god time for new generation to showed up their skill on world cup 2026 and i am sure the players you were mentioned above will makes their countries to performing well but besides those players above actually i want to see Haaland to playing on that tournament because with his skill Haaland is really deserved to playing on world cup but unfortunately Norway achievement for International tournament is not quite well

No one knows whether Ronaldo will participate in the 2026 World Cup or not because there is no official confirmation, moreover what the other Portuguese players did was bit excessive towards Ronaldo.

Well that why I said that new era will start sooner or later, what is clear is that in the 2026 World Cup we will slowly be able to see it and of course there will be many surprises that will happen, I didn't mention Haaland because he plays for Norway and we all know how Norway is for international competitions like the World Cup, there is no hope at all.

But it seems like we can't find a rivalry like Ronaldo and Messi. And it seems like it only happens once in a lifetime. I think we are very lucky to witness the rivalry of the two GOATs who have written their names in various records in football history. And they both played for clubs with intense rivalry. Both were in the same prime and football at that time was really worth watching. Honestly I think we will see a new generation but a rivalry like Ronaldo-Messi will never happen again. In the past Maradona and Pele were also two GOATs who were compared to each other but they didn't have a rivalry because they didn't play in the same league at club level.

Indeed, after they left Europe there was only chance at the World Cup that could bring them together, Messi played in the Copa America and Ronaldo in the Euro, my only hope is that there will always be young generations who can really play prominently and this will make football still look special in terms of competing.

I used to think Haaland and Mbappe would be the next rivalry after Ronaldo-Messi. But until today I see they don't have the aura of rivalry like Ronaldo-Messi. Right now Lamine Yamal can be said to be the next Messi but he still has to prove his capacity. There is no next Ronaldo yet. To become Cristiano a player must have extraordinary determination and consistency in training. I think CR7 is an example of consistency and determination of a football player that you will never find again at least until today. And to become the next Messi you need a God-given talent that must be honed with continuous training. I really miss Messi's magical dribbling and Ronaldo's speed and shooting power.

The current generation of players seems to focus on looking good in photos and then posting on social media to get lots of sponsors. Unfortunately, there are no players with Messi's talent. We saw Ronaldinho in the past, and then Messi came along. Lamine Yamal has great potential to be the next Messi, but I don't see any player with the potential to be the next Cristiano Ronaldo. Unfortunately, in football, it seems that as the years go by, the talent of the players decreases. I remember that 20 years ago, in Ronaldinho's time, we had many good players, there was Robinho, Kaka, Zidane, Roberto Carlos... The level of competition was very high.

The World Cup without Ronaldo and Messi feels incomplete, both players will clearly be the main attraction if they are involved in the four-yearly event. However, many things must be considered here, considering their age is no longer young. Instead of contributing, both players must ensure that they do not become a burden to the team, and put the manager in a dilemma. Simply put, because of age factors there is not much that can be expected from both of them, although everyone realizes that Ronaldo and Messi can still contribute with different roles for their respective national teams.

Every time will have its own time, in the past there were certain players who were considered top stars and were awaited in the World Cup and Messi and Ronaldo appeared but soon maybe after the 2026 World Cup we will start new era with several names emerging as young stars who will enliven the World Cup.

In the past we have heard how two football legends such as maradona and pele were a great attraction in the world of football, as well as the huge rivalry we can see happening between messi and ronaldo previously, so I think every generation have stars that bring their own style in football, at this time, mbappe is considered the successor from Ronaldo with his speed and sharpness in front of goal, while lamine yamal also considered as the successor of messi who have agility speed and also extraordinary technique to play, so indeed at this time we may see competition to become the next GOAT from their, to be honest, I hope can to see a return to the rivalry that Messi and Ronaldo have had over the years from yamal and mbappe, not just at club and country level, but also in terms of individual honours and personal records later.

The Ronaldo - Messi rivalry was on another level. I don't think Lamine Yamal will reach Messi's level ever, but frankly, it is not fair to assume that any player has a realistic chance to get there. What Messi has done is unreal and you can see that even Mourinho today says that Messi is from another planet.

Mbappe is having issues right now. I thought he would take it to the next level himself as soon as he plays his first game for Real Madrid, but no. He barely scores, he is barely successful with his game. I have no idea why because I think he is potentially one of the strongest players out there. I thought he is far better than Vinicius Junior, but maybe he wasted too much time in France. He should have been playing for Real Madrid for years now. PSG was the worst choice he could make apart from the financial incentive.

Messi is surely available for the world cup 2026 with Cristiano Ronaldo is also having good chance of representing Portugal for next world cup because currently he is having target of scoring 1000 goals with already extend his contract with Al Nassr for 2 years or 1 and half year mean he wants to keep himself fit until this world cup and achieving his target as well.

Most chances we will be watch last time these legendary players last time on field because then we will have new generation players those are making their mark and giving their best for having their name in future specially Mbappé, Bellingham, Yamal and Holland because most chances if we have this format successful then more teams and more stars will be able to represent their countries in this mega event in the future.

I have an assumption. Even if Messi retires I think he will still be involved with the Argentina national team either as a coaching staff or as a mentor for young Argentine players. But I think if he doesn't get injured it looks like the 2026 World Cup will be his last World Cup. In fact it will be the last World Cup for both of our GOATs. Argentina is still the best football team in the world based on the FIFA rankings and they still have a great chance to at least reach the semifinals. It would be very memorable if Messi could get his second World Cup even though it is almost impossible.

Yes, if he does not retire, there is a chance that Messi will play again in the 2026 world cup, but in my opinion if he enters the team, he will not play more time as before, because his stamina and abilities have decreased quite a lot, as is the case with Ronaldo, and if that doesn't happen then the second chance to be part of the coaching staff of their national team to equip his younger siblings, and the last scenario is that they will just watch the match and enjoy the match in the stands, with the reason that they no longer want to be involved and in contact with the soccer industry, it could happen for his old age.

Most chances we will have no retirement for Lionel Messi until world cup 2026 because he is currently doing good job in MLS with his performance with his national team is also good so most chances we will be watch his play until world cup then we can expect any announcement about his future.

His performance at club level is impressive because he is having 21 matches 21 goals and 11 assists which mean still playing as quality player while Ronaldo is much senior in age so we are surely going to have them for few more years than we can expect we will have new generation players to give their best after these two legendary.

Argentinian team is having few best alternatives which are also given their best, and they can use them while they are having matches against weak sides which will give them better view about the future of these players because time is running out quickly and things needed some positive changes in national team of Argentina which is going to defend their title in USA 2026.

Well this will depend on their decision, let's assume Messi will retire before the World Cup so he will not be in the squad as a player. The Federation will certainly pay respect by offering Messi to be one of the staff who will accompany Argentina in the World Cup later.
Now the question is whether Messi will be interested in that or he prefers to rest completely. I think we all will agree that the Federation will give a privilege to a player who has made the country proud. And once again this will be Messi's decision entirely.
sometimes some people will reject such a privilege offer and prefer another way. Like ZIdane for example, how many big teams want him but he still sticks to his position. Maybe this is a different case, but we can still use it as a simple example.

Years ago, we heard people saying the World Cup was not fun without superstar palyers like Pele and Maradona and then after a few years, people were waiting for the World Cup to watch players like Ronaldo and Ronaldinho. I think now Messi and Ronaldo should start working on getting retired and ending their careers because they are old and they are not in the good form anymore.
Maybe if they end their career while they are in good form that's better for them because this is how they can get retired while they remain the memory of people.

Why should someone be working on "getting retired and ending their career"? Messi is at 20 goals in the MLS with an average of 74 minutes per goal. He is by far the best scorer in that league by this metric. He has played about half as many games as the leading goal scorer and only scored 3 goals less. Does that sound like he should be working on ending his career?

Ronaldo has scored in 3 out of his last 4 games in the national team while nobody else has done the same. I understand the discussion about their age, but for as long as they deliver these numbers, are you right with your idea or are they right?

Do you prefer a 25 years old player who scores every once in a while or do you prefer a grandpa who scores almost every game? I can tell you I prefer the grandpa because after all in professional sports nothing else counts for a striker. But I am sure as soon as Ronaldo stops scoring for several games in a row, pressure will be rising for him.

Even though Messi is old, he is still the most important player of the whole Argentina team, even every player of Argentina team respects him. In fact, Messi is the most experienced player in the Argentina team. At the 2014 World Cup, Argentina were unexpectedly defeated by Germany in the final match and missing out on the title. However, Argentina continued their good performance which resulted in them qualifying for the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup as well.

Then in the 2022 FIFA World Cup held in Qatar, Argentina won their coveted FIFA World Cup, basically Lionel Messi's performance in that World Cup was unparalleled. Now a question on the minds of all football fans is whether Messi will play in 2026 FIFA World Cup. I think If he does not retire from football, he may be seen with the Argentina team in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Messi is taking part in the CONMEBOL qualifiers, and he also took part in COPA America. So I guess he has plans to represent Argentina at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. But the question is whether that is required or not. Argentina can easily replace Messi with some of the younger players. The case with Cristiano Ronaldo is a lot different. Portugal still doesn't have someone who can replace him in the squad. For sure they have promising youngsters such as Rafael Leão and João Félix. But the problem is that they are not at a level where they can replace Ronaldo.

Messi seems to still be part of the tango team at the 2026 world cup, in my opinion Messi's opportunity to play in the world cup is still wide open as Ronaldo is now, so far Messi and Ronaldo are still show their greatness as footballers so it will be difficult for the coach to get rid of them from squad, especially since they have had a very vital role in the national team squad, In my opinion, Messi and Ronaldo still have a lot to offer for their national team, their experience and leadership on the field are very valuable, especially in big tournaments like the world cup later, so indeed their presence can also provide additional motivation for young players to learn and develop later, it is inevitable if now argentina and prortugal have players who can replace the role of Messi and Ronaldo, but it doesn't hurt for the coach to keep Ronaldo and Messi in their squad because maybe a balanced approach can be the best solution, where Messi and ronaldo still play a role, but also coach must to give space for young players to perform and develop, the 2026 world cup I think will be the last world cup for the two best players in that the world.

The Brazil team will play the World Cup qualifiers again in November. Prior to that, Gabriel, who was strong against the attack defense in the Brazil team, was injured in the last match.
Earlier, another center break, Bremer, was ruled out for the season due to injury.
Brazil's right ringer Rodrigo has been injured in the Champions League stage, Alison Brecker, the regular goalkeeper of the team, has been injured in the Brazil team.
Vinicius was out of the field due to injury in the last World Cup qualifying match. This is one of the best stars of the Brazil team after getting injured after playing a match for Real Madrid.
However, Vinicius jr recovered before this World Cup qualifying round.
Vinicius jr recovered but another Brazilian ringer Rodrigo was injured during the Champions League. It is not yet known exactly how long he will be out of the field.
Gabriel suffered the injury while playing for Arsenal against Liverpool. Meanwhile, Brazil's main goalkeeper Alison Brecker, who is injured, has been injured for a long time. This Liverpool star last played for Liverpool on October 5 and left the field after playing 79 minutes. Due to a hamstring injury, there is no guarantee when Alison will return to the field.
Meanwhile, Bremer of Juventus ended this season due to injury
Brazilians are worried.
All in all, the Brazilian team is plagued with injuries. The return of Neymar Jr. among them is good news for the Brazilians, but Neymar Jr. is back in the team after a year. Old matches that have not been played yet, there are a number of injuries again.
I am hopeful that the Brazil team will recover from injuries and come back in formidable form in this year's tournament. Will win the hearts of fans with their game.

Neymar will take a few months to perhaps return to being what he was, I still think he should expose himself less in the plays and try to retreat his positioning on the field and try to be a kind of classic number 10, the one who sets up the plays for the attackers to finish or else try to be a finishing center forward... if he continues playing as he is used to, he will get injured again... a serious injury like his if it happens again at his age will be the end of career.

Neymar has just return to play with Al Hilal recently after got long term injury and he can bringing Al Hilal to win from Al Ain at Asia champion league but on that match Neymar only playing for 13 minutes and regarding his chance to joining again with Brazil National team recently i found a news that Neymar will be absense when Brazil facing Venezuela and Uruguay

The main reason why Dorival Junior didn't calling him for those matches because Dorival Junior don't want to pushing Neymar to playing more because he doesn't want Neymar got the injury again besides that Dorival Junior want to ensure that if Neymar playing again with Brazil then he has a good fitness and probably Neymar will defend Brazil on March 2025

Even though Messi is old, he is still the most important player of the whole Argentina team, even every player of Argentina team respects him. In fact, Messi is the most experienced player in the Argentina team. At the 2014 World Cup, Argentina were unexpectedly defeated by Germany in the final match and missing out on the title. However, Argentina continued their good performance which resulted in them qualifying for the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup as well.

Then in the 2022 FIFA World Cup held in Qatar, Argentina won their coveted FIFA World Cup, basically Lionel Messi's performance in that World Cup was unparalleled. Now a question on the minds of all football fans is whether Messi will play in 2026 FIFA World Cup. I think If he does not retire from football, he may be seen with the Argentina team in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Messi is taking part in the CONMEBOL qualifiers, and he also took part in COPA America. So I guess he has plans to represent Argentina at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. But the question is whether that is required or not. Argentina can easily replace Messi with some of the younger players. The case with Cristiano Ronaldo is a lot different. Portugal still doesn't have someone who can replace him in the squad. For sure they have promising youngsters such as Rafael Leão and João Félix. But the problem is that they are not at a level where they can replace Ronaldo.

Lionel Messi is still the best player in Argentina and if he wants to play in the 2026 World Cup, Argentina will make him the team captain without any second thought. But it remains to be seen whether Lionel Messi will play in the 2026 World Cup. He has won the 2022 World Cup and there is no guarantee that he will win the 2026 World Cup so he will definitely want to remember the last World Cup achievement of his career forever

Winning the world cup is very very difficult. After failing in the 2014 world cup final Messi needed 8 years to play in the final again and luckily he was able to win it. That is a very long time. I agree with you that there is no guarantee that Messi will win the world cup again. Even the record for most world cup winners is currently held by Pele with 3 world cup titles and no player has been able to break it. But I think Messi will still be an important player for Argentina in the 2026 world cup. He may be old but I am sure he will be called up for the 2026 world cup. Unless Messi chooses to retire.
