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

[danadc]

Of course, it's exciting to see who will take this shirt, but sometimes I think about not giving this number to anyone at all, and instead assigning it to Leo forever, even if he never plays, because there are practically no others like him. He has given billions of viewers countless emotions over the years, and that's important. And of course, we will miss him, but we also need to see the positive in this, because life goes on, which means new young rising stars of football will emerge, which is no less interesting to watch, especially in the 2030 World Cup.

Some legends have to leave, there's not much we can do about that, but we also shouldn't close the door on other stars, and I'm sure that more football stars will emerge, perhaps even equal to or better than Messi. Argentina is a factory of great players, and that's something no one can take away from them.

Europe has many talented players on the rise; it's just a matter of seeing when those stars begin to shine. There are many in the world who are incredibly talented but lack the support to excel.

You see this same support you just mentioned. It is also what I believe most African players lack and it’s why they hardly go far as a team but rather as an individual. I understand also the art of soccer was originated from the Europe particularly in England but does such makes them the giants today? You just mentioned Argentina now and Brazil too among other countries like France have also been able to pull up really good and talented yet they are not from England. It is just to address the claims of whether Europe has the best players or not. If the African players also saw any form of opportunity they would choose.  I am not writing off the talented players we’ve had from Europe and off course they are still the best unarguably but I wish other continents can also pay deeper attention to soccer, it will bring the best out of our talented players too especially when we now play as a team not with other clubs as individuals.

Yes some legends do have to leave,
But at the same time coaches do try their best to be careful, because you will have to pick players and that decision do matter a lot on how your whole competition will be like.
So I feel most times they are rather careful to pick players with more experience than that of the rising of new stars, their time will definitely come, if the coach see them play well, I don't think any thing will hold him back to select them to be among the international team.

Yes, football started in England around 1860 and for a long time England dominated world football, but that was a long time ago, the 19th century when there were no football competitions at European or world level, for clubs or national teams.
When the World Cups started, in 1930 in Uruguay, initially 2 national teams dominated, Uruguay and Italy, and in the period 1958-1970 Brazil dominated with 3 world championship titles.
After that, world football was dominated by Germany and Argentina, 1974-1990 and again by Brazil in the period 1994-2002.
After that, European national teams, France, Spain, Italy and Germany dominate world football and win world titles, with the exception of 2022 when Argentina won the world title.
As for African national teams and their players, they have always had great talent, but what they have always lacked was a developed football system, organization and financial support.
However, Morocco has shown in the last 2 World Cups that it can compete equally with the best teams in the world and I believe that it will achieve a good placement in the next World Cup in 2030, which is also being played in their country, along with Portugal and Spain.
Home field advantage is always important in such competitions.

Messi has retired from the Argentina national team. Messi's departure may have a lot of impact on the team, but we may not see this impact for a long time in the Argentina national team. Because Argentina has many good players and if we look at their team, we will see how strong they are and the biggest thing is that Argentina has got a coach who can be called one of the best in the world. Scaloni's creativity and intelligence in team building etc. have a big role in Argentina's success. However, if we see a few big matches, we will be able to understand how much impact Messi's absence has had on Argentina.

Messi made Argentina strong and now that he's no longer with the team, the team will drop form a little bit because he's the play maker and all the attackers depend on him for a better performance. They will miss him but they need to carry on and build a strong team without Messi so that, they can maintain the team standard.

You shouldn't say Messi made Argentina strong. Messi played a wonderful role for the team. He created chances, and he was the best player in the team, no doubt about that, and he is no longer in the team. The truth is that nobody can replace Messi in the team for now, but this doesn't mean it will turn Argentina into an average or weak team.

Argentina still has good players that can keep Argentina among the top teams. The mistake Argentina will make is thinking they can replace Messi with someone else to play the role of Messi.

Yes, the modern rules of football were developed in England. But it is also true that England has never dominated world football for a long time in the World Cup era. England probably won the World Cup once around 1966. From 1930 to 1966, some of the main strong names in World Cup history were Uruguay, Italy, Brazil, Germany. Brazil in particular was the strongest team in world football from 1958-1962. So there are many teams that have dominated more than England.

However, if we see a few big matches, we will be able to understand how much impact Messi's absence has had on Argentina.

I believe that with Messi's departure we will need to change the formation, because Messi is that player who allows you to make different types of plays, being a free player, and not having players of this quality in the squad, it is difficult for the team to be able to maintain this type of formation.

You see this same support you just mentioned. It is also what I believe most African players lack and it’s why they hardly go far as a team but rather as an individual. I understand also the art of soccer was originated from the Europe particularly in England but does such makes them the giants today? You just mentioned Argentina now and Brazil too among other countries like France have also been able to pull up really good and talented yet they are not from England.

I think African footballers are not behind in terms of talent, but they do not have the opportunity to properly utilize their talent in many ways, as European players do. Despite having natural ability and skill, many of them cannot even reach a professional academy due to lack of financial capacity. They are behind in almost everything that is needed for their training.

And the countries of Europe are developed and the popularity of football is also very much there. Their countries are in a good position in the World Cup, even winning the final. All this motivates those countries more in the development of football. And those who have the skill and the ability to play for the team in the future are given importance. They are given all kinds of facilities. And the many club leagues are played in Europe. Star players from many countries of the world go there and start playing for a club. This also creates a motivation for European players and makes them more experienced.

And throughout America, star players were mainly limited to a few countries, especially Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia, Chile. However, Argentina and Brazil will be ahead here. Because football has become a part of their tradition in their countries. Football is given priority in all aspects in their countries. And because many star players are there, the people of that country are motivated to become good quality players in the future. And all kinds of facilities are provided there to develop football. For all these reasons, world class players can be seen in these countries.

All of us messi and football fans are saddened by this news because seeing the player retire that was part of the sport and your life for a significant time is not easy, we will all feel empty not seeing messi on the field again in upcoming international competitions and tournaments. This decision was to be taken sooner or later but after his father’s death i believe he took it sooner, atleast i expected him to play the copa america but its his life. He is a part of my life with football and he will always remain so, Farewells to The greatest ?? ?

is normal to see such a talented player retire from his national team and be sad about it. Not for the footballer himself, but for what the footballer represents and has represented for this sport in the last twenty years. is always a sad moment when these things happen.

[aipercoin]

Leo Messi's Instagram post shows who the greatest of all time in soccer is. The video, which shows a payment receipt filled entirely with Messi's travel logs, is awesome.

Like every good story, sooner or later there comes an end, and that's what happened with Messi. A player who made his national team become something great. After Maradona he came very close to achieving the same, with a World Cup won and a final reached.

I think it was the most suitable time to retire from the national team.

[cande86]

They will miss him but they need to carry on and build a strong team without Messi so that, they can maintain the team standard.

Messi has always been a very serious professional and a great player, probably the best in the history of Argentina, but we must say that it was Argentina that made Messi great and not the other way around. And now that he has retired from the national team, the national team will certainly have to find a way to make their team play in an alternative way.

The problem in some South American and African countries is that football isn't a sport that attracts many investors. Just take a look at baseball and basketball, which handle far more money than football, and football is the best sport in the world, right? American football also generates an impressive amount of money.

Investors prefer to put their money into European football because, supposedly, they have the best players in the world. Only the very best make it to Europe, and the difficulty lies in their ability to rise to prominence and be noticed by talent scouts.

And now that he has retired from the national team, the national team will certainly have to find a way to make their team play in an alternative way.

Whether Argentina made Messi or Messi made Argentina does not matter. Before Messi, Argentina won two World Cups, and what Messi did was refresh the glory. The last time they won the World Cup was 1986, and winning the World Cup in 2022 is a big boost for Argentina and their world ranking in sports.

I want to see Argentina without Messi, for years Messi has been the Argentina we supported, everybody played because of Messi, it won't be the same.

For Leo the time has come, and this time he's really retiring from the Argentina National Team, he won't be coming back like before. In the past, when he came back after retiring, he brought titles to Argentina, but this time there’s no comeback. Because it's his time to retire and he's retiring peacefully at the right moment.  

Everything he has given to Argentina has been absolutely maximum. Yeah. Now the question is, what can Argentina do without Messi, because so far Argentina seems helpless without him. My prediction is that Argentina fate might be similar to Barcelona in the early days after Messi left; maybe Argentina will struggle a bit at first after Messi departure, but surely someday players will emerge who are expected to help Argentina rise again, especially since Argentina can always produce top notch players.

There is no one best player in a team, almost everyone in the team is the best in their respective positions. The team's form has not deteriorated with Messi's departure, I think Messi's place will definitely be filled by a better player, but we loved Messi's game, we liked Messi. We were quite satisfied with his performance. However, during Messi's time there was a well-organized team, now the team must be well-organized and give a chance to a good quality player to fill Messi's place, but this is a decision that the team will choose.

It's already in the works. Not sure if he'll ever reach Messi's level but Nico Paz looks like he could be the next #10 for our team. Unfortunately he didn't feature much in the World Cup since he’s the direct replacement for Messi, but many here in Argentina are expecting great things from him. He was already voted the best young player in Serie A last season with Como. Now that Messi has "supposedly" retired, he’ll get much more playing time with the national team and who knows, in four years he might just be the revelation of the next World Cup. At least I hope so!

[Lukakur]

The same thing usually happens in large corporations. Older, "irreplaceable," "star" employees perform well, but simultaneously hinder the careers of younger ones. Everyone believes that business stars are irreplaceable until they retire. But when that happens, new "stars" take their place. This is a normal life cycle, and I am confident that the Argentina national team will be able to transform itself by 2030, and this transformation will lead to the most positive results!?

Yes, it must be admitted that a player reaches peak physical form and performance around the age of thirty, an age that Messi had already surpassed a while ago, but who despite everything continued to maintain a very high level of performance and this was also seen in the last World Cup. However, having reached this age, he realized that continuing to play would be an effort that the body no longer follows.

Messi's playing place may be taken by someone else, while many are saying the name of Nico Pas. But it is doubtful whether anyone else will be able to do the contributions that Messi used to make for the match in the future. Messi used to take the team forward through various contributions including chance creation, assists , dribbling, goal scoring and game control in a match. So it is not realistic to expect such expectations from a young player in the beginning. However, Thiago Almada's name has also come up as Messi's replacement. He is also a good enough player. When the next Argentina match , maybe we will see who is playing in Messi's place. Since Messi will not be there in the next matches. So, the forwards and midfielders should contribute together so that they can be responsible like Messi.

[Daniel91]

Yes, I agree, African players and teams are really very talented and good, but at the World Cups, African teams are not yet competitive and equal to the best European and South American teams, with the exception of Morocco, which was fourth in the world at the 2022 World Cup.
They obviously lack real support, a football system and organization.
When South Korea finished fourth at the 2002 World Cup, I expected it to be the announcement of their new successes, but after that they never came close to repeating that success.
The situation is similar with other continents, Australia and North and Central America, so the same teams from South America and Europe always fight for the world title and that has not changed since the first World Cup in 1930 in Uruguay.
Brazil has been in crisis for a long time and they have not been world champions since 2002, 24 years, which is a very long period for them.
Argentina is now without Messi and I don't expect them to repeat their successes from the last 4 World Cups anytime soon, when they played in the final 3 times and were world champions once. Given that, I think European teams will dominate world football for at least the next 2-3 qualifying cycles, with Spain and France being the biggest favorites and contenders for the title.

We can only predict who will replace Messi since we are not sure. Argentina has so many good forwards, but we will never know the next poster boy until they prove themselves. Getting an excellent free-roaming playmaker in the class of Messi would be good for the Argentine national team. Nico Pas is doing exceptionally well in Como. He is a promising young player who can fill Messi's shoes if he keeps improving.
