Qatar world cup Final Predictions

[klidex]

After 36 years, Argentina ended their title drought under Messi. Along with this, Argentine star has taken himself to a unique height by winning this World Cup. Star player who have won the World Cup, Champions League and Ballon d'Or are called the 'Triple Crown' club. Messi became a member of that traditional club by winning the World Cup in Qatar. There was one blemish in Messi's career, and that was the World Cup. Argentina beat France on a tiebreaker in a thrilling final in Qatar to lift the title for the third time. The Qatar World Cup will be remembered by people for a long time than any other World Cup.

Winning the world cup is once in a lifetime opportunity. Messi was fortunate enough to have his name inscribed in world cup trophy. This was his last chance and he managed to win the world cup. At the same time, this was the last world cup (probably) for Cristiano Ronaldo as well. Unlike Messi, he had a rather forgettable tournament where he was continuously humiliated by his own team. Qatar 2022 was probably the last major tournament for these players as well - Pepe, Dani Alves, Thiago Silva and Danny Vukovic. The oldest player was Alfredo Talavera (only player who was aged 40 or more).   

Yes, there's indeed a good chance that the Qatar World Cup was going to be the last World Cup for the both of them considering their age and the timetable of the next World Cup that will be hosted by the United States of America. Although, both of them haven't spoke yet about the likeliness of this matter but I've read an article that said that CR7's last dance will be in UEFA Euro this coming 2024.

Indeed, there have been many articles released saying that Ronaldo played in the last World Cup at the Qatar World Cup because remembering that Ronaldo himself is old and it is impossible to be able to participate in the upcoming World Cup.
In terms of his playing in the Qatar World Cup yesterday, he started to look less good and his skills started to decrease.
I am also sure that in the future Portugal will also have new football players who are reliable and can bring Portugal to compete in the upcoming World Cup.

Yeah, Cristiano Ronaldo playing now in Saudi Arabia was a bit like him retiring from football.

There's nowhere near the level of competition he's used to in his previous clubs, so he will no longer be playing at the highest levels.

Even if he plays the next world cup, he won't be in the best shape.

That's right, because age and stamina no longer support Ronaldo to be able to play well. Therefore, in the last few matches, his enthusiasm was indeed extraordinary, but his playing skills could no longer keep up with Ronaldo's own enthusiasm and determination.
It is possible that the Saudi club is the last football club that will be defended by Ronaldo and after the contract is completed it is possible that Ronaldo will decide to prefer to retire from football and it is very unlikely that he will be able to participate in the upcoming World Cup to defend Portugal.

Ronaldo is already 37 years old and after this contract with Saudi league he'll be more than 40 so that's all for his football career and he should retire.  He has played alot of football and best of his times and 40+ his stamina and energy will definitely decrease.  Although his spirit and enthusiasm us in peak but he can't play after that.

At this world cup he already was benched and his substitute played well better than him.

I don't think he'll be even called to the next world cup to be honest.

It was his last chance, and he just didn't perform.

Ronaldo has not been playing at the highest level for the last few years and in a way he is becoming a problematic player who causes problems and does not benefit his teams, Juve, Manchester or the Portuguese national team.
Ronaldo is a very selfish person who cannot accept that he is no longer the most important player in his teams and because of this there is discord in the teams he plays in and because of this the results of those teams suffer.
Just look at what happened to Manchester United in the first part of the season or Portugal at the World Cup in Qatar.
Ronaldo will never play again in a serious European club or for the Portuguese national team, and he went to Saudi Arabia as a highly paid football pensioner solely because of his marketing potential and to help Saudi Arabia become the host of the world football cup.
His attitude and level of play recently is the reason why no serious European club wanted him.

Well, it's understandable, the holy book said something which I think relate to this, it said "A halty spirit is the beginning of a down fall", meaning is simple, A player as talented as Ronaldo will need to battle himself and defeat his ego in other to stay humble, humility is the only way he could have gone really far, but it's rather unfortunate it seems as though he has failed or failing in this area, and the result of this failure is so glaring to each and every one of us right now.

I am personally happy for him though, I am happy for his achievements, and for the fact that all this is happening at a time he is preparing to retire, but I really hope he will pull himself together and get his acts right, let his story not be told as a very talented player that started really well, but ended very badly because of his arrogance.

At Ronaldo's age and his achievement in football, I don't see what he is loosing based on his proud attitude and ego. If he had gone to any club,he wouldn't be the world highest paid player and all the attention Saudi Arabia is given him wouldn't be there too. There is nothing for him to achieve again after the world cup due to his age and incapable to perform like the young Ronaldo. I see his move to Saudi as an achievement to him.

To me he is already a made footballer, therefore he can decide or do whatever he like because the way I see him now he doesn't care about anybody but only himself and he wants to always be the player that brings attention to himself in any kind way.

Sorry but read your statement again...
Football is all about a team of players working together for one common goal, and that goal is winning..
A player can not win football game on his own, he needs his team on his side, but when such a player(due to pride and ego) refuses to work hand in hand with other players to achieve their common goal, the whole team suffers.
Ronaldo on his own might not have anything to loose but think about the young and up coming players who are just building their career up the ladder, think about what Ronaldo's arrogance and refusal to work hand in hand with them has cost the entire team.

By the way, we all are in this world to live for one another, not to live for ourselves alone.

The world cup ended with the farewell to so many great players like Messi - Ronaldo and Neymar.
Now Ronaldo is coming to KSA - and they have changed their law to allow living relations legal. That is how success speak!

The law isn't modified. He isn't a citizen of Saudi Arabia. When he's given citizenship this will be taken into consideration. It is really good that he have chosen the Asian country to train and grow football.

Portugal is a country that has great talent in football players, why do they have to rely on Cristiano, Cristiano is old and I see many young talents who have talent and high enthusiasm than him. Cristiano will definitely not be called up again by the Portuguese national team for the 2026 world cup. but i think there is no more reason for us to discuss world cup qatar, it would be better if this topic is locked, hope others agree with me.

Regardless of the poor performance at the World Cup in Qatar, Ronaldo, together with Messi, has provided great games for Real and the Portuguese national team for years, and we have to thank him for that. Messi and Ronaldo raised the interest in football and took it to a higher level.
He was European champion with Portugal, but he failed to win the title at the world cups, unlike Messi and Argentina.
Such great football players usually have a big ego and because of that they don't know how to recognize the right moment to stop playing and retire from football, the moment when they are no longer the best.
Portugal had a very good national team in Qatar, even without Ronaldo, but due to the conflict between Ronaldo and the coach, relations in the team were damaged and because of this, the team did not achieve the expected result at this world cup.

I've heard about the rumors as well and I'm somehow inclined that both CR7 and Messi will not play anymore in the upcoming World Cup because instead of being an asset to their respective team, they will become a reliable as their age will pose a disadvantage to them. I'm just glad that I have been born in the time and witnessed their greatness during their professional years because in the upcoming years, these two will be an icon in the history of football.

[BobK71]

Argentina defeated France in tiebreaker in the thrilling final to win the title for the third time. The legendary player Messi told Qatar World Cup - is the last World Cup of his career. Messi will be 39 in 2026 World Cup. At that time, Messi's arrival on the field to play the sixth World Cup is uncertain. The situation changed after Messi won the World Cup in Qatar. The players of the Argentina team are now loudly saying that they want him in the World Cup after four years.

Let's forget about age first. Ronaldo's performance in Al Nassr will determine if he can still play in the next world cup. If through out his stay in Al nassr is not bad then he can still play in the next world cup.  If he still remain consistent till then,  age won't be an obstacle for him not to play.

Even if Ronaldo will still be in active football till the next World Cup, Portugal will not field him to play active role in the world cup. They may take him along incase they will be able to win the World Cup and Ronaldo will have it added to his profile.
Ronaldo has given us his best in football and I must confess he is among the greatest that football has produced.
Now let us enjoy his brand and influence.

There's just no way back to being part of the team for Ronaldo, we saw him not performing his best already in the last World Cup, his replacement performed way better.

I think we will only see Ronaldo in the next World Cup as we saw Pirlo in this one, in the ads.

The funny thing is that probably he will be able to make the same, or maybe even more money doing ads instead of playing football anymore.

Ronaldo is one of the football stars that has become the most known in the football world.  And he barely got a chance to show performance in the last World Cup.  But Ronaldo may earn the most in advertising, but his heart is lost in the world of football.  Due to a partial partiality, he participated in the football game for some time, but during this time, he could not show his performance, due to which the possibility of him not playing for the team is very high.  A star has various sources of income out of which the advertising field is different.
