Both of their participation in the next World Cup is uncertain, and I wouldn't be surprised if neither of them gets to represent their respective national teams in the next World Cup. They've both reached their peak in football and accomplished a lot. It's time for both of them to go so that we can see the new generation of young people.

The same argument was made regarding Ronaldo for the FIFA 2022 World Cup. But then, world cup happens only once every years and participating in it and representing the country is a dream for almost all the top football players. I am 100% sure that Messi and Neymar will represent their respective countries during FIFA 2026. I am not against giving adequate opportunities for the younger players. But that doesn't always work well. We all saw the case with Portugal during Qatar 2022. At top level football, there is no substitute for international experience.

For Neymar, he still has a chance even though he was already 34 when the 2026 world cup was held. however, the truth is we will never know because it is possible that he will not be called up by the new Brazil coach. because, Brazil currently has many young generations that can be relied on.
Likewise with Messi, he is too old to fight in the 2026 world cup later. he already has what he aspires to be throughout his football career, it is time to be replaced by the younger generation and at the same time test their skills.
Especially for Ronaldo, his existence seems to fade with age. in fact, he is having a hard time scoring goals for his new team at the moment. apart from all that, Messi and Ronaldo are two of the greatest superstars of all time for me. but the time has come for them to entrust it to the younger generation.

There are many young players who'll be in 2026 world cup and they will be on peak of their careers , Ramos , Argentina's Enzo Fernandez, Mbappe, hakim. So the picture of football will be totally different in upcoming world cup.

Seems a long way away but it’ll likely fly by & we’ll be here before we know it. Too early to start predicting who will in it, Messi won’t be playing nor Ronaldo. So much can happen in football in that amount of time. The US actually have a good, young team. They could surprise a few people with home advantage.
France will be there, Mbappe should be in his peak, Spain have some real stars too.
I won’t make any solid predictions though.

For Messi, what is left to achieve? After almost four decades, he captained Argentina to become the World Cup champions. Unfortunately for Ronaldo, becoming a world cup champion will remain as a dream for ever. And now coming to Kylian Mbappé, he is just 24 years old and has at least 3-4 more chances to become the world champion. Out of the three names mentioned here, I guess only Mbappé will be there for the 2026 World Cup (but then France need to qualify for the tournament. Given their volatile form, I am not sure about that as well).

This was the last world cup of Messi and Ronaldo and of Neymar.
It was confirmed even before the Qatar world cup.. The big name like Messi ended up giving another star to the Argentina after Maradona

Do you have the source from where you saw the news about Neymar?
I don't believe it was his last cup, there is still the cup of 2026 that he will be 34 years old, 1 year less than Messi who just won the cup.
But it would be good, Brazilians are tired of so much drama with Neymar.

I didn't know that the first games of 2026 World Cup would be held in Mexico (group stage).

I don't know the criteria yet, but the group stage matches will take place in all 3 countries, not only in mexico.
Canada and Mexico will host 10 matches each one, all in group stage.
After that, only matches in USA.

Quote from: gagux123 on January 30, 2023, 01:36:05 PM

I know that in Qatar it is extremely hot, but my question is how some players will react in relation to the temperatures, for example, a team will have to play a game in Canada (cold), and the next game of that same team will be in Dallas/Houston which for most of the year has a high temperature, could the big difference in temperatures harm or affect some players?

In my opinion, this temperature issue will not be a problem beyond the normal.
The games in Mexico will be at Vancouver, close to Washington, and Toronto, close to New York.

I think Ronaldo being in this one would be very very weird. Dude is already 37-38 years old, meaning by the time we are in 2026, that would make him at least 40, maybe 41 I don't know when it is. So that means he would be much worse than he is right now, and we have seen him not be that great this year already, so the fact that he could play on the next one would be insane, he would be much worse and not worth it at all.

I think it's quite important to remember that the best thing to do would be just making sure that he would be not hurting the team. You could end up with something much better if he was called but not played, it would be like a veteran legend out there helping the players psychologically at the very best case, but not playing.

The Portuguese coach might also not consider calling him into the world cup squad even though he is still playing, because no matter how great a player is age will reduce his ability and by forcing him to remain in the national team will waste opportunities for young players who are likely to be able to contribute better for the team, so a lot of consideration should be needed before deciding to continue to make him a core player or also a substitute player at the next World Cup.

Several people believe Neymar will play the next world cup, including myself.
Neymar will be 34 years old, an acceptable age, unlike Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who will be 39 years old and 41 years old respectively.

Despite the fact that Neymar has not stated whether last year's World Cup was his final, I believe the country will want to persuade him to stay in the national team and compete in the 2026 World Cup again. He is a great player and a leader for Brazil now, and I believe his presence is still needed there given that he will not be very old by the time the next World Cup is played.

In 2026, I imagine Messi will have the conditions and ability/skills to participate in the world cup, unlike Cristiano Ronaldo, who will be 41 years old, for me, he will not be able to participate in the next world cup

I do not think this is going to be the last world cup of Neymar. Neymar is surely playing the next one. And I am also quite sure that even Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will also be able to play in the next world cup. But they are obviously not going to have as good of an effect as they probably should have. And the way the career of Cristiano Ronaldo is going on I believe he might actually not be able to play the next one. And if both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo end up missing the next world cup it is going to be a big loss for the football world.

Lionel Messi's Argentina is the champion of this World Cup. We all may not know if a legend like Lionel Messi will play in the 2026 World Cup. But I personally see the possibility of not playing.

This was the last world cup of Messi and Ronaldo and of Neymar.
It was confirmed even before the Qatar world cup.. The big name like Messi ended up giving another star to the Argentina after Maradona

Messi has indicated that he still wants to play a number of matches in the shirt of Argentina. I don't think you can plan such things very far in advance. One footballer stops when he is 33, the other only when he is 39. I don't know how fit Messi will be in 3.5 years, but it doesn't seem to me that he will still be physically able to participate actively in the World Cup. He could perhaps have another role in the team, but he is not waiting for that. Ronaldo is already out of the Portuguese national selection, and since he has gone to Saudi Arabia to play football there, he will no longer be included in the selection. Not for the European Championship next year and certainly not for the World Cup in 2026. Still 3.5 years before that starts. That sounds so far away.

Me I don't see Messi has a world champion but Mbappe is the one and Messi might be Argentina champion. 35 years person is still strong enough to play football if the person doesn't face any health challenges. Therefore, of Messi is physically fit then he can play for Argentina even the next world cup. There major part uses in football are the two legs. And if Messi know that he can't withstand the pains after the retirement from football he should leave now. Because the legs will definitely pain him after the retirement. Those who left football game early lives long and those who left it late die early.

I think Ronaldo signing up at Saudi Arabia was basically him retiring of high level competition.

There's no chance he's even called to the next World Cup, even if he wanted to.

Even in Qatar he was substituted and the substitute played way better than him.

There's only downhill from now, getting older and playing for years in a lower quality competition in Saudi Arabia. Not a chance he plays the next world cup.

regarding changes in temperature that will affect player performance, of course this is no longer a big problem for professional players at the world cup because they must be able to quickly adapt to the temperatures around the field

The US and Canada seem cold and cool, only in Mexico is it possible that some of the players competing there have to adjust to the temperature there

I think Qatar weather is very hot, and if player's were able to adapt to the weather in Qatar that of Mexico/Canada/USA won't be a problem. Weather has never been a problem to player's, they will always adapt in any environment they find themselves. Weather in Canada is always favourable to sport men.

The event which was held at the world cup yesterday in Qatar, was designed in such a way that the air temperature inside the stadium was cool because the organizers had taken it into account and prepared long before the show was held and Qatar had successfully held it despite the controversy surrounding it.
Likewise with the World Cup in 2026, at least the organizing committee, namely the host, has planned as much detail as possible for the convenience of the players and visitors who will witness this most prestigious event. Qatar is one of those who have successfully held it, and so far none of the players have complained about the weather conditions after the world cup ended.

As for the world cup later, the temperature or weather in the three countries is not as extreme as in Qatar. after all, as professional football players they are used to playing in any conditions. like one of them when Africa hosted, Japan and South Korea with cold temperatures, as well as Qatar. so, we don't need to worry about temperature and weather issues especially in Mexico, Canada, the US, the temperatures are not too extreme for the teams that will compete later.

Because the world cup is held in 3 different countries. For example, in Canada we know there is a cold country (generality), but on the other hand, in Dallas, Houston and even Mexico, temperatures tend to be warmer than in Canada, could this be a problem and could it harm some teams ?

Canada and Mexico will only get rations for the group stage and after that all matches will be played in the United States that I know and surely teams playing in Canada will need adjustments, lucky for teams playing in Mexico because they will get relatively the same weather as the United States. And you're right, the cities in Canada that will hold matches will be relatively colder that month than cities in Mexico or in the United States, you can see examples on this website.
Weather adjustments can be detrimental but they can't complain about that as happened during the World Cup in Qatar which was relatively hotter than the previous host countries.

Thanks for your contribution guys...

I didn't know that the first games of 2026 World Cup would be held in Mexico (group stage).
I believe like this way some teams will ""have an advantage"" in relation to temperature, travel/distance and others.

But I have no doubt that this will indeed be a challenge, because it will be the first time, the World Cup will be hosted in 3 different countries.

I know that in Qatar it is extremely hot, but my question is how some players will react in relation to the temperatures, for example, a team will have to play a game in Canada (cold), and the next game of that same team will be in Dallas/Houston which for most of the year has a high temperature, could the big difference in temperatures harm or affect some players?
