Lionel Messi was a victim of serious illness… contract signed on napkin, know the veteran’s ups and downs

highlights In the final, Argentina defeated France in the penalty shoot-out. Lionel Messi just one step away from the Golden Boot. new Delhi. The FIFA World Cup 2022 ended in a grand manner. The trophy came in the hands of the team, which was waiting for the last 36 years. Everyone is aware of Argentina’s legendary footballer Lionel Messi. This player has set a flurry of records.

I like that some sensed people are still able to recognize that whether Erling Haaland or Leo Messi take the award home, it's valid. Changes from all the others ~ wave hand in a general direction ~ people. Not even to mention how past and current football figures agree on it too. Soothes my mind.

Honestly I'm just tired of talking about it, since 1) it's silly 2) it's settled 3) it's simple. Let's make it plain.

"Why not just put the goals?"

There are awards for the best goalscorer. This isn't one of them.

Brief comparison

Haaland had a maddening records breaking season, won the treble, but didn't show up for the semi and finals of those. Messi did an average club season (equal to, if I remember correctly, the "excellent" season of Antoine Griezmann so, there's that.) and an all-time World Cup campaign. It's a WC year; it has since after 2010 (year of change of criterias + voting participants) weighted on the BO's results.

The reason it's a close call this year is cause of the treble (huge weight) balanced by the ghosting of Haaland during those crucial points vs WC all time balanced by the average club season of Messi. Haaland being a 9 means that when he's not there, he doesn't do anything for the team. Stems from his position. Whereas if Messi doesn't score, he still has his passing and playmaking which, picture me surprised, actually make him having more impact as a player for his team.

Look at the pic. Make the needed mental gymnastics. To get to the conclusion that one of them is robbing the other is mental. Both are deserving.

WC's weight

It's ultimately this and the WC's weight (and I sure ain't about to get into an argument comparing the treble, insane achievement that can be achieved every year, to the WC, insane achievement that can be achieved once every four, and being the MOTT of said tournament) that makes it tip towards Messi, even though I expect the votes to be close. The WC has been held over Messi's head for more than a decade. Everyone knew that if he put a consistent season and a good WC campaign, he'd been a strong contender. He had a consistent season and had an all-time, MOTT WC campaign. Point's made.

Criteria : Vital role

Another point: the "vital role in the team and honours" criteria. Haaland makes this City team dominate, not a shadow of doubt. But Kevin de Bruyne is the one that's vital to it. Take away KDB and Haaland isn't there (once again: stems from his position. He's a 9.)

Due to his national team not being in the WC (which once again : he's indeed from Norway, a NT which hasn't much WC history. But, in 2018, Messi single handedly drew Argentina to the WC. Haaland wasn't capable of this.), he couldn't prove himself to be crucial there either. So, Haaland is important but not vital to this City team, whereas Messi was important in PSG (a-fucking-gain, 40 G/A, this isn't an argument) and vital for his NT. There you go, one criteria more.

Sweet sweet "robberies"

When you got R9, Wenger, Henry, some France NT (Griezmann and others, can't recall), Hazard, Silva and co - current/former players who played and know the weight of the WC - saying Messi deserves it; the club coach of Haaland saying they'd both deserve it ; and you arrive to the conclusion that Messi is robbing Haaland (or, for that matter, that Haaland would be robbing Messi), then the true reason of your positionning can't be clearer.

And finally,

Those are what you call robberies. Can't be one when both deserve it. Haaland will be just fine and will have plenty of WC-free seasons to destroy every records available and show up at crucial points. Chill. I'm done talking about this, people are to stuck to their own opinions to be changed atp.

This is a fun night, I'm so ready to make fun of everyone's fit and awkward talk. It ain't that deep. Hope everyone, whether for Haaland, Messi or bloody Musiala has fun!

World Cup headcanons I have for Cars characters although some time has passed since the final match (Argentina VS. France edition because I am Argentinian and I still can't believe we won)

The ones that supported Argentina are: Lightning McQueen, Cruz Ramírez, Danny Swervez, the Weathers family, most of the WGP racers (like Jeff, Carla, Rip, Francesco, etc.), all Radiator Springs folks and some Next-Gens racers (Tim Treadless is a big example) and Chick Hicks.

The ones that supported France are: Raoul Çaroul (obviously), and some others Next-Gens.

The ones that don't care af about football, but still congratulated Argentina are: Jackson Storm and most Next-Gens.

(humanized au, very long text)

Radiator Springs

Everyone was watching on the TV in Flo's café and even there were Argentina themed decoration both outside and inside just for that day. Also, there were some people from Argentina watching and Cruz was chatting with them, laughing and singing with them and Luigi and Guido decided to join them at some moment.

Lightning was watching the whole match with Sally and they also were chatting with some of the Argentinian fans. Tim, Harvey and Danny decided to take some vacations and stay at Radiator Springs and when they saw how things were decorated and at how many people looked hesitant about the match, they decided to join and watch.

In the last penalty, all Radiator Springs was silent, waiting for the results. Lightning and Sally were watching the tv silently, Cruz and the visiting Next-Gens were crossing their fingers and sweating, Luigi and Guido were at the verge of tears. Everyone wanted to know what was going to happen and when Argentina's player Gonzalo Montiel scored, the café was a COMPLETE CHAOS. Almost everyone was hugging eachother, many others were crying of joy (including Cruz, Luigi and Guido), some people like Tim and Harvey were recording with their phones because they have never saw something like that in their whole lives and most people were clapping and shouting: "¡ARGENTINA CAMPEÓN DEL MUNDO!".

At some point, the Argentinian people were in the main street of Radiator Springs and started to celebrate. Obviously, everyone decided to go and join them after some time.

Chick Hicks watched the whole match and on his social media (with the help of some people) he congratulated Argentina.

________________

(random fun fact about me: I headcanon that Francesco has family in Argentina and at his free time, sometimes, he visits them)

Francesco was watching the match at his house with his mother and some friends. At one point Francesco's nerves were such that his blood pressure dropped and he almost fainted (almost like me lol). In the penalties the nerves reached such a point that he was shaking non-stop and when Montiel scored the final goal, he screamed non-stop of happiness and at one point I imagine he hugged his mom and his friends while he cried along with them.

When he calmed down a little bit, he posted something on Instagram saying congratulations to Argentina and sent greetings to all his fans.

_________________

The WGP racers were having divided opinions. Some supported Argentina but others supported France.

Long story short, Argentina won and Carla, Rip,Jeff and Nigel were clapping and celebrating.

Raoul was obviously hoping for his country to win, but at the end he felt very bad and he went silent. Obviously the ones that were celebrating noticed that and they stopped for a moment to try to calm Raoul down, but every effort was useless because after a few seconds he began to cry non-stop and decided to go to his room.

When Raoul calmed down and came out of his room, he smelled a very delicious yet familiar smell in the kitchen. When Raoul went there as fast as possible, he got surprised that Carla, Rip, Jeff and Nigel prepared his favourite foods. He asked why they made such a thing like that for him and Carla said:

"We decided to make this because we wanted to see you happy for something. We know the results made you feel sad and you also haven't ate something for some hours, so…" she was about to finish, but then she felt how Raoul was hugging her.

At that moment, he thanked her and decided to go and eat with them.

FIFA World Cup 2022: Round of 16 Predictions

It’s been a different kind of World Cup so far — and that’s an understatement. While one always expects some upsets and some thrilling finishes, we’ve had more than our fair share of surprises and drama.

Africa had its best ever group stage with 7 wins. The warm climate of Qatar may be a factor. Two African teams have advanced this year; none advanced in Russia 4 years ago. Europe is less represented in this knockout stage than it was last time around. And while South America sent five teams to the knockout stages at the 2014 tournament in Brazil, only two have survived this time.

Favorites Brazil and Argentina are through, despite losses to Cameroon and Saudi Arabia respectively. Defending champions France also have a blemish on their record, but are through nonetheless. Regular contenders such as Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and England are also through.

But stalwarts like Germany, Belgium, and Uruguay could not manage to make it out of the group stage this year. Mexico failed to reach the knockout stages for the first time since 1978. Dark horse favorites Denmark couldn’t make an impact. Instead, surprise performances by Japan, Korea, and Morocco stole the show.

It’s truly a “world” tournament:

Europe - 8

South America - 2

Africa - 2

Asia - 2

CONCACAF - 1

Oceania - 1 (though they play in the Asian confederation)

Still, based on the matchups, I suspect the quarterfinals will end up looking as they normally do. Here’s how I think things will pan out…

🇳🇱 Netherlands vs. 🇺🇸 USA

History The Dutch and Americans have met five times, but never in a competitive match. Of the five friendlies, the Dutch have won four. But the U.S. won the most recent contest 4-3 in Amsterdam in 2015.

Qatar 2022 Neither of these teams have looked great so far. Despite going undefeated in the group stage, the Dutch have underperformed. They benefited from being in the easiest group and yet struggled against Ecuador. The Americans, on the other hand, fought their way through a group that included England and two other teams comparable to them in the FIFA world rankings. And while they demonstrated grit in their must-win match against Iran, they never quite managed to show enough quality to defeat a top-flight team.

But there are rumors about the flu making its way through the Dutch team. I don’t think this will be one of the more exciting matchups, but I fancy the Oranje to come away with a narrow win. The Netherlands is undefeated in their last 18 matches, winning 13 of them. The U.S. win against Iran is their only victory in their last 6 games. This U.S. team is still young and has very little World Cup experience. Such experience counts for something in the playoff rounds.

Prediction: 🇳🇱 NED 1 🇺🇸 USA 0

🇦🇷 Argentina vs. 🇦🇺 Australia

History These teams last played each other in a friendly 15 years ago. Australia has not defeated Argentina since 1988. In 7 contests, Argentina has 5W, 1D, 1L. This will be their first World Cup Finals meeting.

Qatar 2022 Kudos to the Socceroos for impressive wins over both Tunisia and dark horse favorites Denmark! They even came out strong in their opener against France, before finally bowing to them after a 4–1 thrashing.

I think that’s exactly what’s going to happen again against Argentina. While La Albiceleste revealed weaknesses in their stunning loss to Saudi Arabia, they showed their mettle in wins against Mexico and Poland. (The loss to the Saudis is their only defeat in their last 39 contests, dating back to 2019.) This team is now starting to click again and should be in top form to ward off any challenge from the pesky Aussies.

Prediction: 🇦🇷 ARG 3 🇦🇺 AUS 0

🇫🇷 France vs. 🇵🇱 Poland

History France has the historic edge in this contest, with 8W, 5D, 3L. Their only previous World Cup meeting was a thrilling third-place playoff in 1982 from which Poland emerged victorious, 3-2. But France has been the better team since then.

Qatar 2022 France’s B-team suffered a 1-0 loss to Tunisia, but have otherwise been perhaps the best squad of the tournament so far. Their midfield has been on point, and Mbappé has been shining. There were some questions about this team, given their Round of 16 exit from the Euros, and recent losses to Denmark and Croatia. But France have come to play and appear poised to make a good run at defending their title.

It’s hard to see Robert Lewandowski’s Poland overcoming the depth and skill of this French squad. While the French have shown vulnerabilities in their defense (they have conceded in each game), their offensive prowess is simply too much for Poland. Les Bleus should walk away with this one.

Prediction: 🇫🇷 FRA 2 🇵🇱 POL 0

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England vs. 🇸🇳 Senegal

History These two nations have never met in international football. But England has an impressive record against African competition — undefeated in all 20 games they’ve played against African nations. By contrast, Senegal have a 6-5-5 record against European teams, most recently losing to the Dutch in the group stage.

Qatar 2022 The Three Lions looks difficult to beat. If Rashford, Kane, and Saya are on their game, and a spritely Foden can make an impact coming off the bench, they should be able to score a healthy amount. But their goalless draw against the USA was a sign that this team could be stifled if faced with an opponent who wants it enough.

Senegal is Africa’s highest-ranked team, but with their star striker (Sadio Mané) out for the tournament, their path forward is a little more challenging. I’m not sure the energy from their exciting win over Ecuador will be enough to overpower or withstand one of the best squads England has sent to the World Cup in years.

Prediction: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ENG 3 🇸🇳 SEN 1

🇯🇵 Japan vs. 🇭🇷 Croatia

History Japan and Croatia have squared off three times before, with each team winning once and the other match in a draw. A 1997 match in Japan saw the home side victorious, but a 1998 World Cup meeting in France went to the Europeans. Their 2006 World Cup fixture in Germany ended goalless.

Qatar 2022 The Samurai Blue have been one of the most delightful surprises of this tournament. Their stunning upsets of both Spain and Germany en route to win their challenging group places them as one of the top teams of the tournament. But can their grit and determination be enough to push them past Luka Modrić and a skilled, scrappy Croatia team that were runners-up at the last World Cup?

Get ready for this to be one of the more exciting matches of the Round of 16. Both teams play with an urgency, especially when pushed. As soon as one team takes the lead, they’ll fight to tie it up. I might not usually expect Japan to put more than one into the Croatian net, but they’ve already done that against better teams. Sadly, I think their luck will run out against the more experienced Croatians.

Prediction: 🇯🇵 JPN 1 🇭🇷 CRO 1 (wins on penalties)

🇧🇷 Brazil vs. 🇰🇷 Korea Republic

History Brazil and South Korea have squared off in seven international matches, mostly friendlies. Korea has just one triumph, a 1-0 win in 1999. When the two teams faced off just six months ago, Brazil won 5-1. Neymar netted two in that game.

Qatar 2022 Like France and Portugal, Brazil rested their star players for their final group match and paid the price. But even Brazil’s reserves should have done better. A key issue for the team has been finishing. They need Neymar’s creativity to get their strikers in the best positions. There’s no reason the likes of Richarlison, Gabriel Jesus, Vini Jr., and Raphina shouldn’t be racking up goals.

The Koreans were able to best Portugal’s B-squad to secure their place in the Round of 16, knocking out Uruguay in the process. But other than that, their play has not provided much to suggest that they can beat The Seleção. It seems near impossible to score against Brazil’s top 11. They’ve recorded clean sheets in 22 of their last 32 games. In fact, they didn’t even surrender a shot on goal for the first two group stage matches. If Neymar is healthy, I think we should be prepared to see the Samba Kings break out at last.

Prediction: 🇧🇷 BRA 3 🇰🇷 KOR 0

🇲🇦 Morocco vs. 🇪🇸 Spain

History Spain and Morocco faced off in the group stages at the 2018 World Cup. That match ended in a 2-2 draw, with Spain netting an equalizer in the 90th minute. Their only two other meetings came in World Cup qualifying in 1961. Spain won both.

Qatar 2022 La Roja were the early stars of the tournament after their 7-0 thumping of Costa Rica. But a draw against a lackluster Germany and a loss to Japan have tempered expectations. Morocco, on the other hand, has been one of the most consistent teams at the tournament, even defeating the second-ranked Belgians.

But this is only Morocco’s second trip to the Round of 16, and first since 1986. This Spain team has valuable experience in high-stakes tournaments. They also have exciting young players like Gavi to bring a renewed energy as well. Looking at Spain’s pacing, control, and penchant for possession, it’s hard to see Morocco extending their brilliant run. But I wouldn’t count them out. This one could head to extra time or even penalties.

Prediction: 🇪🇸 ESP 3 🇲🇦 MAR 2

🇵🇹 Portugal vs. 🇨🇭 Switzerland

History One of two all-European battles in the Round of 16, there’s a lot of history between these two teams. The Swiss have a slight edge with 11W, 5D, 9L. The two have seen each other twice this year in the UEFA Nations League, with Portugal winning 4-0 in Lisbon and Switzerland winning 1-0 in Geneva.

Qatar 2022 Portugal joined France and Brazil as the only teams to secure their second-round berths after two games. They made several changes to their lineup against South Korea, ultimately costing them the match. But prior to that, the Portuguese looked strong — fighting off Ghana and controlling play against Uruguay.

Switzerland is much more comfortable with a slow, defensive style of play. They’re a team that ekes out 1-0 and 2-1 victories. (Their 3-2 win against Serbia was their first time scoring more than 2 goals in over a year.) But as Brazil was able to dictate the flow of their game against the Swiss, I suspect Portugal’s offense will do the same. But don’t count the Swiss out. They were still able to hold mighty Brazil to one goal, so Portugal will have their work cut out for them. I think Ronaldo and his team will prevail, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they had to go through extra time or penalties to do so.

Prediction: 🇵🇹 POR 2 🇨🇭 SUI 1

No upsets?

I realize that, in each case, I’ve predicted the favored team will win. While I really do think these are the most likely outcomes given how the teams have played so far and their histories, this is the World Cup, and there’s bound to be a surprise or two (or three). If an upset is to happen, here’s who I think is most likely to do it.

Most likely upsets

USA (16) over Netherlands (8)

Japan (24) over Croatia (12)

Morocco (22) over Spain (7)

Switzerland (15) over Portugal (9)

Senegal (18) over England (6)

Poland (26) over France (4)

Korea Rep (28) over Brazil (1)

Australia (38) over Argentina (3)

Last night was one for the record books after a brilliantly fought match between the Les Bleus and the Albicelestes, France vs. Argentina, which ended with a 3-3 draw at the end of extra time, and a 2 -4 penalty shootout in favor of Argentina who became the winners of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. It was only in 2010 that I watched the World Cup in its entirety and I am an ardent supporter of the Argentine team. Needless to say, I was overjoyed with Argentina and more importantly Lionel Messi's win. Argentina was denied by Germany in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and as such, finally they had their moment to shine. Mbappe fought valiantly to give France a third title, but it was not their time.

How to watch Qatar 2022 : World Cup Guide

The World Cup's first match between the host country and Ecuador will kick off Qatar 2022 in less than a day. The footballers are putting the last finish on their preparations for a tournament that has generated controversy since it was given to the Gulf nation in 2010. The on-field action is expected to be unexpected and exciting even as off-field topics like the deaths of migrant workers and the conditions many of them faced in Qatar, LGBTQ and social equality, and the fact that alcohol will not be sold in stadiums continue to make headlines. Competition loves Only eight countries—many of which are favorites this time around—have previously won the men's World Cup. Brazil now holds the record for most championships, having won the trophy five times. The new generation has a good chance of adding another title, which would be the first for the nation in 20 years. There is a skill all over the field, not least in defense, where the seasoned Thiago Silva of Chelsea and the talented Marquinhos of Paris Saint-Germain will probably act as a barrier for Allison, the goalkeeper for Liverpool. With 28 of its last 29 games ending in victories or draws and only one loss, against Argentina in the Copa America final in 2021, Brazil too boasts an exceptional record and will be optimistic of progressing to the knockout stages. Its group-stage opponents are Switzerland, Cameroon, and Serbia, all of whom it should easily defeat. France is a necessary component alongside Brazil. The defending champion cruised through qualification without dropping a match, and Kylian Mbappe is developing into a world-renowned athlete. However, several injuries in crucial positions could jeopardize its prospects. On the eve of the competition, star striker Karim Benzema has been ruled out, while midfielders Paul Pogba and N'Golo Kante, who were so important to its success in 2018, are also out. Raphael Varane, a center back, has rejoined the team though, having recovered from an injury. Players to watching The world's top athletes will be on display in Qatar, and for many, it may be their final opportunity to win the coveted trophy. Despite being two of the greatest players to ever play the game, neither Messi nor Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved victory on the largest international platform. Because Ronaldo will be older by the time the next World Cup rolls around—over 40 years old—he has already declared that this will be his final appearance. Both players have a good possibility of doing well in the tournament as they are currently the leading goal scorers in their respective countries. With the majority of its players spending their entire careers in the country's top division, Qatar is a relatively obscure entity in addition to competing in its first World Cup. The attacker, Akram Afif, is the exception. Afif has eight assists in just seven appearances in Qatar's premier league, having made 11 assists during the team's 2019 Asian Cup victory. In the first game, he'll be someone to watch. Japanese player Takefusa Kubo is another emerging star. The playmaker, 21, received his education at some of soccer's most esteemed institutions. Prior to joining Real Madrid in 2019, he spent time in Barcelona's development system. When is that? On November 20, Qatar and Ecuador square off in the tournament opener at the Al Bayt Stadium. The elimination rounds begin the following day, December 3, and the final is on December 18. How do I watch it?

World Cup 2022 Final Prediction

live score World Cup 2022 Final Prediction The world cup is fast approaching and with it, the expectations of teams are high. Belgium is one such expectation, but with Eden Hazard's decline and the worrying injury record of Kevin De Bruyne, they have little chance of hoisting the trophy. However, there is a great deal of exciting young talent coming through the pipeline. While the current crop of players may not be peaking, they still have plenty of talent to take the trophy home with them. Besides, luck plays a massive part in World Cup final predictions. Portugal With a win in Group H and a draw in the other, they are sure to reach the World Cup 2022 final. The team will then face either the Group H winners or the Group G runners-up, and it is entirely possible that they will be drawn in a quarter-final. If Portugal is able to win its group, it will face either Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland, or Cameroon. If Portugal is not able to win the group, they will be playing the runners-up of Group G or the Group C winner. However, Portugal may also face any team from Group D or Group B. Brazil With the World Cup final scheduled for 2022, the question becomes: Who will win? Three countries have a legitimate shot. In the past, countries like the Netherlands, Belgium, and Portugal have not won the tournament. While these countries do have potential, none have won the World Cup before. Belgium and Netherlands both boast a solid side that has the potential to win the tournament. France, which won the World Cup trophy in 1998, is another team that has a legitimate shot at glory. Argentina With Lionel Messi leading the way, the Argentines should win the World Cup for the first time since 1986. The team has never looked good enough to win another major trophy. While Messi won his first international trophy this season, Argentina has lacked star power and depth. The defending champions are -180 favorites to win Group C. The oddsmakers aren't sure which team will reach the final, but Argentina is one of the top bets to win the World Cup. Spain After winning the World Cup in 2010, Spain hasn't quite lived up to the hype. After two straight European Championships, the team underperformed at the last two World Cups. In Euro 2020, Spain reached the semi-finals, while in the Nations League, they reached the final. So, the Spanish are back and looking to win the World Cup 2022 in Qatar. Here are some predictions for Spain vs. England. Denmark Denmark are 33/1 to win the World Cup in 2022. The Danish football team finished top of their qualifying group and will face France, Tunisia and Peru in the knockout stages. Their performance in the last EURO 2020 tournament has given them a big boost, and they will be hoping that momentum carries them to the World Cup. But first, let's look at how the odds of Denmark winning the tournament work.

England With a squad of young, upcoming talents, who is the best bet to be the best England team in 2022? Is Harry Kane the right choice to lead the line? We'll find out in the World Cup final. But what about the other key players? Is there a better choice than Kane? And what about Kyle Walker, Jordan Henderson, and Trent Alexander-Arnold? France After winning the Nations League Final in October, it is difficult to make a definitive prediction. France's squad is deep and talented, and their young stars could be the difference in this tournament. However, Didier Deschamps must worry about Paul Pogba's future at Manchester United, as the midfielder has regularly looked better for France than he has done for the Red Devils. It remains to be seen if the talented youngster can make the jump from youth to professional football. Uruguay If you want to bet on a World Cup final, Uruguay might be the team to beat. The 2010 semifinal team included star players like Luis Suarez, Diego Godin, and Fernando Muslera. The squad is also full of young talent, including Edinson Cavani and Darwin Nunez. But will the team be able to overcome their age? Let's look at some of the key factors for Uruguay to qualify for the knockout stage. South Korea In South Korea's World Cup 2022 final, there are several potential players. Lee Jaesung is a versatile passer and defender who has been with the KNT for several years. He should easily make the squad for this tournament. Meanwhile, Kwon Changhoon has battled injuries for some time, but he is fast, physical, and skilled. Both should be considered for the squad. Ghana Among the teams that have qualified for the World Cup, the Super Eagles have the strongest chance to win the tournament. The Super Eagles have won the last three FIFA World Cups and have the best record against their opponents. In addition to this, Ghana has won 25 of their last 56 meetings with Nigeria, drawing 19 of them. The Super Eagles last played Nigeria in the 2014 African Nations Championship semi-finals.
