⚽ FIFA World Cup 2030: Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay ⚽

Messi and Ronaldo can be compared on several different criteria, the number of goals scored in their career, the number of individual awards won, the number of club trophies won and the number of trophies won with their national team.
Depending on the criterion we choose, we will get a different answer about who is the better player, Ronaldo or Messi.
However, since we are discussing the FIFA World Cup here, Messi has definitely done much more in this regard than Ronaldo.
Messi has led his national team to 2 South American championship titles, Copa América, 2021, 2024 and also led Argentina to the 2022 World Cup title in Qatar, and led them to the final 2 more times, in 2014 and 2026.
On that side, Ronaldo can't be compared to Messi.
Ronaldo has only been European champion once with Portugal, in 2016, and has won a less important competition twice, the UEFA Nations League: 2019 and 2025.
Messi has definitely achieved much greater results with the national team than Ronaldo.

Exactly in every awards groom Messi was on the top of the head weather it's individual awards or it's a club awards or even International too. I know many people has a carry a lot of hate in heart for him but I think they have dull head like they didn't understand that it's football and here love and unity make sounds good. Both have prestigious profile with different nature even their style play are quite different for each other......

However, now it's a dying minutes for both like they are on edge of his career and probably with in few years they will be gone from us and to be honest will discuss then as historical figure. So share a thrilled movement rather quarrel.

Yes, in the end, it seems that Rinaldo will be more successful than Messi only in the number of goals scored, and it seems to me that he is actually "artificially" prolonging his career precisely because he wants to become immortal and be the first to cross the "magical threshold" of 1,000 goals scored in official matches.
Unlike Ronaldo, who is more selfish and focused on his personal achievements and records, Messi is more of a team player and is ready to submit to the team and the team's common success, which was especially evident in his appearances for the Argentine national team in major competitions.
On the other hand, Ronaldo, with his selfishness on the field, has often been a hindrance to the success of his national team.
In any case, both have already become football legends, but I predict that Mbappe will soon surpass them, both in the number of goals scored and in the number of club and national team trophies won.
Mbappe is still relatively young and I think he could play in at least 2 more World Cups and will have the opportunity to win many more personal and team trophies.

FIFA fined Argentina $321,000 and ordered the attendance at Argentina's next match to be halved.

This is just ridiculous. It's literally peanuts for them.

And the attendance "halved" is basically taking a laugh at everyone else. Teams were sentenced to 0 attendance for several games for far less in the past.

But of course the team of FIFA's golden boy is untouchable.

These are trivial punishments. But I'm not surprised at all, I'm too lazy to even find out the details, for example, whether Argentina was punished for the fact that the players waved a political banner about the Falkland Islands after one of the games. This alone would have required major disqualifications, but FIFA chose to "ignore" it.
And naturally, I'm not surprised that FIFA didn't punish itself for violating its own regulations when they succumbed to political pressure and lifted Balagun's disqualification.
I hope that by 2030 FIFA will be cleared of all this trash (like Infantino) and we will see the organization functioning properly.

It may be  the USA was the host country of FIFA, So Trump has taken an additional advantage. Where Trump should not have give attention about such issues or requested the FIFA president. Behind many incidents in this world cup, there were various political issues related to it. That is why there was so much negative criticism about the last world cup. Which may not have happened with any world cup in the past. And the FIFA president is being blamed for all these incidents, which really has enough logic behind it. Because he should have made a fair decision in all cases. But he may not have been able to do it due to various pressures. If Infantino loses in the next FIFA president election, then maybe the 2030 world cup will be seen in a slightly different way in the future. This is the intention of most viewers. But if the new president is elected, how honest he will be is also a matter of consideration. But I want the football to not be influenced by any politics or economy, whoever the president comes.

The only, and absolutely only, solution is if the UEFA steps down and says "game over". That is what counts, nothing else. Make the product worse, that is the only leverage UEFA has against FIFA. And maybe guys like you would still take their remote control and watch.

If something like this happens, things will end drastically, and it's not worth letting a global event end because of corrupt officials. It makes no sense because without UEFA, absolutely everything collapses.

I don't think it's fair that a World Cup should be canceled because evil can't always triumph. I understand that many are outraged, but the FIFA organization must be above anyone who has mismanaged it. It's a shame how things have come to this.

I fail to understand why Infantino came forward with such absurd ideas when a perfectly well-functioning system was already in place.
UEFA is right to object to this situation.
FIFA needs to get rid of Infantino and never elect him again.
During the last World Cup, Balogun's suspension was postponed for no valid reason.
"Cooling breaks"—which were essentially just commercial breaks—were implemented under the pretext of extreme heat.
Situations like these might please sponsors or certain corporations, but they certainly didn't sit well with viewers like us.
As long as Infantino remains in charge, such nonsense will continue.
