FULL THREAD about the legendary AFA's Truco Tournament

It is well known, the players of the Argentina national team spent many years playing this truco game when they were enlisted in concentration camps. I tried to trace the history of this tradition, and these are the results.

Trivia: Messi lent 2 of his MOTM trophies to be used as a prop when the winner of the 2014 Truco Tournament, Martin Demichelis and Maxi Rodrigues, took their commemorative shot.

A year later, it's Otamendi & Javi Pastore's turn to win the tournament.

Kun & Messi in 2017.

The AFA pres won the 2018's truco tournament.

And now fast forward to their 2021 Copa America Journey. With the new coach and youngsters joining the Old Guards, the Truco Torneo tradition still lives on.

This marked the first time Messi had not partnered with his long-time best friend/forever roommate Kun, and eventually, the new trio consisting of Messi-Rodri-Lea won the tournament.

Last, the most recent tournament took place in Doha, Qatar. We got to see who was in charge of it (De Paul, Paredes), who teamed with whom, and who wasn't participating (Aimar, El Huevo, and German Pezzela).

The weird thing is, I found several articles that talked about different results about who won the torneo. Some said Tapia won again with Leo becoming the runner-up, others said Tapia won and the runner-up was another AFA's staff, and I too found people who were hyped up about Juli winning the tournament.

Someone on Twitter made a thread about the same topic (Truco Torneo) and from her post, we get to know that Di Maria denied this rumor about Juli.

Thanks to Taglia and Lauti who shared another inside story about the tournament. In their version, after Di Maria-Dybala-Ota team beat them, the trio then beat the Leo-Lea-Rodri team and based on the bracket maybe they (Di Maria-Dybala-Ota) were finally beaten by Chiqui Tapia's team.

Taglia mentioned about the tournament kinda 'lost its sparks' once the favorite team lost. It seems fitting to the one Rodri said as per this OP's post. (Or it could also maybe they wasn't in the mood after the loss against Saudi Arabia).

Well, we're lucky that the topic of this confusing torneo is being mentioned during El Kun's legendary Twitch Stream, although it isn't very clear at all since no one mentioned the opponent who challenged Messi's team.

++ Torneo de Truco UPDATE

According to this recent clip, Lea did admit Ota-Di Maria-Dybala team beat his team and said the winner from the torneo was a team consisting of a manager, utility staff, and a goalkeeper coach.

...

One thing for sure is, 3 of the known loser teams have something to be blamed for. Lauti blamed Foyth, Lea called for the injustice, and then Cuti and Licha joined forces in slandering Molina's truco skill right under his Insta post.

I hope the upcoming docu will reveal the real winner of the 2022 Truco Torneo.

Three months ago, Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on Israel, which swiftly responded with an operation to eradicate the militant group. So far, around 1,200 Israelis and an estimated more than 23,000 Palestinians have died, with many more injured. Amid calls for a cease-fire, many observers are speculating what a “day after” might look like in the Gaza Strip.

Whether or not Hamas can be destroyed is a matter of considerable debate. Regardless, Israel and the United States—its most important ally—have insisted that the group can have no role in Gaza’s future administration. Instead, both have proposed the establishment of a multinational force that would include a role for Arab states—including those in the Persian Gulf. This means that Gaza could become a hot spot for geopolitical rivalries between Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

Qatar is at the center of this conflict. Its capital, Doha, has hosted and financially bolstered Hamas’s political wing since 2012, when it relocated from Damascus—providing Gaza with much-needed humanitarian assistance. Qatar’s support for Hamas is part of a broader geopolitical strategy to back Islamist groups, particularly those associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, along with allies Iran and Turkey. This counterbalances Qatar’s regional rivals, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

The small Gulf sheikhdom fashions itself something of a regional diplomat—and views diplomacy as a way to protect itself in a turbulent neighborhood. Since its traumatic 2017-to-2021 blockade, this has proved effective: Qatar moderated high-stakes talks like those between the United States and Taliban in 2020. It also secured the release of U.S. prisoners held in Iran in 2023.

The United States had previously requested that Qatar open a line of communication with Hamas in 2006 after the group’s legislative victory in the Palestinian territories, which preceded its 2007 takeover of Gaza and the Israeli blockade that followed. Since then, Doha—which does not have official relations with Israel—has actively mediated between Hamas and Israel on at least three occasions: in 2015, 2018, and 2021.

This time, Qatar is hoping to secure the release of remaining hostages held by Hamas—most of them Israeli—in exchange for a cease-fire or a humanitarian pause. From Nov. 24 to Dec. 1, 2023, ongoing talks resulted in the release of 110 hostages from Gaza and 240 Palestinian prisoners from Israel.

Qatar may go on to support nonmilitant members of the Muslim Brotherhood in Gaza after the war. (These could include members of Hamas’s political—rather than military—wing.) Doing so would satisfy U.S. and Israeli calls for Gaza to be rid of Hamas while also helping Doha to maintain its alliances with Turkey and, to a lesser extent, Iran—countering the influence of the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia has long competed with Iran for Islamic and regional leadership. Ever since the late Saudi King Abdullah launched what he called the Arab Peace Initiative in 2002, Riyadh has also supported the Arab-Israeli peace process. While Tehran—and Doha—financially and militarily back Hamas, Riyadh supports the Palestinian Authority (PA) and might wish to install the PA—which partially governs the West Bank—in postwar Gaza.

However, this could be difficult to implement. While U.S. President Joe Biden has expressed support for a post-Hamas Gaza under what he calls “a revitalized Palestinian Authority,” Israel remains opposed to any PA rule in the territory. What’s more, the PA, which many view as a proxy of Israeli occupation, is reviled by Palestinians—while Hamas’s popularity has soared. For PA rule in Gaza to be possible, Riyadh and Washington would need to do the difficult task of identifying a leader who is both accepted by Israel but also popular enough among Palestinians to dampen Hamas’s—and Iran’s—pull.

One potential candidate is former PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad. Fayyad, a pragmatic leader, received support from the United States and Saudi Arabia during his tenure from 2007 to 2013. He also held talks with Hamas in 2021 in an unsuccessful attempt to form a national Palestinian unity government. In the past, Fayyad has suggested including Hamas under the umbrella of the Palestine Liberation Organization. While Fayyad has not commented publicly about the possibility of leading Gaza now, Saudi media reported in early January that his name has been mentioned by international diplomats in private discussions on the matter.

Before Oct. 7, Israel and Saudi Arabia had seemed to be moving toward normalization. The Biden administration had tentatively agreed to ambitious requests from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, including a NATO-style security pact, access to advanced weaponry, and a civilian nuclear program. The crown prince told U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken last week that normalization was still in the cards after the war ends—provided that there is also a road map to Palestinian statehood.

Saudi leverage in normalization talks might unsettle the UAE. Though the two countries are ostensibly allies—especially opposite Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood—they have stepped up their geopolitical competition in recent years in their respective quests to become the preeminent Gulf power. Both states have vied for regional dominance in the wars in Yemen and Sudan. The Arab-Israeli peace process in general—and discussions over Gaza’s future—could escalate this rivalry further.

Abu Dhabi seeks to wield a moderating influence on the war while safeguarding its own regional interests. In addition to condemning Israel’s attacks on Gazan hospitals, the UAE has been proactive in getting aid into the enclave, particularly at the United Nations. That is in part because the UAE, which balances relations between major powers such as Russia and the United States, has expansionist ambitions. In addition to Yemen and Sudan, Abu Dhabi also backs proxies in conflicts in the Horn of Africa and Libya.

The UAE’s 2020 normalization of relations with Israel was another such strategic move. Yet the country remains cautious of potential shifts in regional power dynamics, and particularly the prospect of Saudi-Israeli normalization. Emirati détente was, in part, an attempt to become the preeminent Arab power that can effect change on Palestine, wrestling that mantle away from Saudi Arabia. If Riyadh normalizes with Israel, it will be able to reclaim the Palestinian file.

Abu Dhabi may be considering Mohammed Dahlan to manage Gaza within the framework of Biden’s “revitalized” PA. Dahlan, a prominent former leader of the PA’s leading Fatah party and a native of Gaza, was once its security chief. However, Dahlan is now despised in Gaza because he spent years battling Hamas. In the eyes of many Gazans, he is no better than an Israeli occupier.

Dahlan has lived in exile in Abu Dhabi since 2011 after allegations of involvement in financial corruption and the assassination of Yasser Arafat, the leader of the Palestinian Liberation Organization. He is thought to have influenced and mediated Israeli-UAE normalization. Although the former Fatah leader has publicly rejected playing a role in a post-Hamas Gaza, Dahlan has also hinted that he is open to leading Palestinian politics in the future. This would bring strategic dividends for the UAE.

Dahlan maintains a strong relationship with Egypt, one of the two neighboring countries with official ties to Israel. The other is Jordan. Both must be included in any international diplomatic discussion over Gaza’s future—and could find themselves pulled into Gulf rivalries.

Jordan, which borders the West Bank and occupied the territory from 1948 to 1967, is home to a large Palestinian refugee population. Amman’s 1994 peace treaty with Israel recognizes the Hashemite monarchy’s custodianship of Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem—providing the country with an image of regional prestige, leadership, and religious significance. And in 1979, Egypt, the former occupier of Gaza, became the first Arab country to normalize ties with Israel. Ever since, it has aimed to balance its strategic relationship with Israel with popular support for the Palestinians and the need to maintain stability along its borders.

With most Gazans barred from Israel, Egypt’s Rafah border crossing is their main exit route. The border area also harbors Hamas’s smuggling tunnels. During this war, Cairo has helped control the Rafah crossing and shared intelligence with Israel, while President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has attempted to position himself as a mediator by hosting an international summit. Jordan has similarly convened U.S. and Arab leaders.

But both countries suffer from vulnerabilities that could be exploited by Gulf powers eager to play a leading role in post-Hamas Gaza. They are much poorer than their Gulf counterparts, and their respective economies are in dire states—fueling popular anger even in repressive political environments.

Amman has received relief aid from Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations since 2018 and has become especially dependent on support from the group due to COVID-19 pandemic-induced pressures. Egypt was struggling economically before the pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war, but these crises—and their impact on food and fuel prices—have only made things worse. Sisi is under more scrutiny than ever.

In Egypt, Qatar could wield leverage by urging the government to ease pressure on the Muslim Brotherhood, which won Egypt’s first—and only—democratic election in 2012 and was subsequently labeled a terrorist organization after Sisi’s military took over in a 2013 coup. Riyadh and Abu Dhabi could exert sway Egypt to impact the wars in Sudan, Libya, and in Yemen.

Influence over Jordan would grant Gulf countries access to—and possible control over—the West Bank and East Jerusalem. National Defense University’s Michael Sharnoff argued in Foreign Policy in 2021 that Saudi Arabia wished to displace Jordan as the custodian of Jerusalem’s holy sites. Saudi Arabia’s demand to get this distinction would strengthen Riyadh’s hand in normalization talks with Israel and boost Riyadh’s image of being at the forefront of Islamic and Arab leadership—adding the Al-Aqsa Mosque (Islam’s third-holiest site) to the kingdom’s custodianship of Mecca and Medina (the first two).

Expanded Gulf influence over Jordan and Egypt could prove detrimental to Palestinians’ already fragile existence—and to the increasingly unrealistic two-state solution—by opening up new schisms in Palestinian society. It would also create a quagmire for the governments in Amman and Cairo. Being affiliated with a GCC state that helps displace Hamas in Gaza could bring much needed financial aid at the risk of alienating constituencies that are increasingly supportive of the militant group.

Intra-Gulf competition in Gaza has already begun. Among other actions, Qatar hosted three-way negotiations with the United States, Hamas, and Israel to allow for temporary pauses in fighting and provisions of humanitarian aid. Saudi Arabia was quick to bring forward its own initiatives, hosting a summit of major regional actors and Muslim-majority countries, such as Iran and Turkey, and announcing Chinese-brokered talks for ending the war. An Israeli start-up signed an agreement with the UAE to set up a land bridge to transfer goods from Dubai through Saudi Arabia and Jordan to Israel’s ports following a slate of Houthi attacks on Israeli cargo in the Red Sea.

Israel, the United States, and many Arab leaders are united in wanting to see Hamas’s demise. But in getting rid of one problem, others may arise. The Israel-Hamas war could intensify the growing rivalry among Gulf states—and one source of escalating regional tension may give way to another.

Rafale or Eurofighter? Saudi Arabia can follow Qatar and buy both

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 01/20/2024 - 12:08 in Military

Will Riyadh decide to end negotiations for 54 Rafales now that Germany has suspended the ban on the 2018 agreement for 48 Eurofighters from Great Britain? Or can you follow in the footsteps of your much smaller neighbor, Qatar, and acquire both?

The German government's recent decision to suspend the export ban on Eurofighter Typhoons to Saudi Arabia may impact Riyadh's recent decision to negotiate a potential acquisition of Dassault Rafale fighters from France.

The last move would result in the Royal Saudi Air Force operating three different types of 4.5 generation fighters from three countries. The acquisition of different types of advanced fighters would present the kingdom with certain challenges, but also some advantages.

Qatar only had a modest air force when Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates blocked it in 2017. Since then, Doha has acquired a formidable fleet of the most advanced 4.5 generation jets in the world.

The current fleet of Qatari fighters is composed of F-15QAs, Rafales and Eurofighters.

In less than a decade, the richest country in the world ordered 36 F-15QA (Qatar Advanced), 36 Rafales and 24 Eurofighters, a truly manic accumulation for a country with only 313,000 citizens.

Qatar is considering ordering 24 more Rafales, which would raise the total number of Qatari Rafales to an impressive 60.

Another order from Rafale would also indicate that Qatar prefers Rafale much more than Eurofighter, since it would have bought twice as much.

The Middle East has been profitable for Dassault in recent years. Since selling its first 24 Rafales to Egypt in 2015, the first foreign order of the fighter, France signed agreements with Qatar and the record-record $19 billion agreement in December 2021 with the United Arab Emirates for 80 Rafale F4 fighters. A Saudi sale would only continue this trend of Rafale to guarantee bigger business than the Eurofighter in this arms market.

Saudi Arabia ordered 72 Eurofighters from Great Britain in 2007. Over the decades, the kingdom consistently maintained a fleet of American and British warplanes and never bought French fighters.

Riyadh's decision to negotiate with Paris on a potential agreement with Rafale at the end of 2023 could have been motivated mainly by Berlin's reluctance to suspend the Eurofighter ban.

Demonstrating leverage and alternative options in arms business is certainly nothing new. When the Carter administration decided to sell F-15 to Saudi Arabia for the first time in the late 1970s, there was significant opposition in Washington. In response, Saudi Arabia did not hesitate to enter into negotiations for the main French fighter of the time, the Mirage F1, to show the US that it had viable alternatives.

What will be interesting to see in the coming weeks and months is whether Riyadh will continue to negotiate this agreement with Rafale. This could happen for several reasons.

The acquisition of 54 Rafales and the new batch of 48 Eurofighters would give Saudi Arabia 102 new jets capable of the 4.5 generation. It would also strengthen its fleet of fighters at a time when the United Arab Emirates and Qatar are making considerable acquisitions. And it would be more than equivalent to the comparatively modest two dozen Su-35 Flanker fighters that Iran hopes to receive from Russia soon.

According to an Iranian journalist, Tehran ordered and paid a total of 50 Su-35 before Russia's large-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Even if it receives this number of Flankers, and this is a big if, the Royal Saudi Air Force would still have a larger and more advanced fleet.

Having three types of fighters could represent significant technical challenges and the extensive training needed for Saudi pilots to master a new fighter. At the same time, all three types are built in the West and are compatible in many respects. Incorporating French Rafales into an air force composed of American and British aircraft will undoubtedly be much simpler than introducing Russian or Chinese fighters.

Saudi air power: F-15SA, Eurofighter and Tornado.

There are also political advantages in this diversification for Saudi Arabia. There were brief proposals in Washington in October 2022 to temporarily prohibit the supply of American weapons to the kingdom. At the time, analysts observed that the Saudi Air Force could at least depend on its considerable fleet of Eurofighters if any potential embargo impacted the operability of its sophisticated American F-15SA aircraft.

Greater diversification with Rafales would substantially limit the effect of an embargo of any of these three fighters. For these reasons, Riyadh may not leave the Rafale negotiations and, ultimately, may even acquire its first French fighters.

Ivana Knöll, la croate qui a fait monter les températures au mondial Qatar 2022 avec ses petites tenues vestimentaires dans les stades et sur les plages de Doha. Elle a fait sensation et polémique à travers ses photos et ses vidéos. Elle est née le 16 septembre 1992, en Allemagne, d'un père et d'une mère croates. À l'âge de 7 ans, elle est allée vivre à Zagreb, en Croatie. Mannequin, finaliste de Miss Croatie en 2016 et couronnée Miss Croatie en 2018. Elle a déjà supporté la Croatie au Brésil en 2014 et en Russie en 2018. Elle a volé la vedette aux joueurs mondiaux et ébloui les Qataris dans les différents matchs de son équipe. Quoique connus pour leur rigueur vestimentaire, les photos des Qataris avec cette beauté ne cessent d'enflammer la toile. Elle a déclaré sur les restrictions vestimentaires au Qatar: ''J'étais en colère car je ne suis pas musulmane, et si nous, en Europe nous respectons le Hijab, je pense qu'ils doivent aussi respecter notre mode de vie, notre religion''. Cependant, elle a précisé par la suite que le gouvernement Qatari lui a autorisé de porter ses vêtements parce que c'est la coupe du monde et qu'elle n'avait jamais retrouvé de contraintes. Après la Finale, elle a envoyé un petit message à la Féderation Internationale de Football en déclarant: "La Fifa, vous avez donné le trophée de meilleur joueur à la mauvaise personne! Peut-être que l'Argentine a gagné mais Kylian Mbappé est le meilleur joueur!"

Seeing people get mad at Dibu for that moment of silence in the locker room and holding a baby doll with mbappe's face (💀) taped to it during the parade like??? first of all, pretty sure someone in the crowd threw that at them, second????????? they're on top of the world right now, i sincerely doubt there's any malice behind ANYTHING. leo and dibu both hugged and spoke to mbappe after the match. accounts keep posting that doll pic for reactions like?? ok post crowds chanting xenophobic bs and burning argentine falgs in france. post the establishments placing messi's psg and argentina jerseys at their door, telling customers to wipe their shoes on them on the way in. and so much more like everyone so unwilling to admit that argentina played better for most of that match and of course the 'bathrobe' discourse. a guy honestly went around doha asking actual argentines what they thought of it and everyone said they don't mind and it's obviously a sign of respect and honoring messi/argentina. is it only disrespectful and 'classless' when they're not european? if they were, i'd bet anything they'd be laughing about it, calling it banter and shithousery and whatever else. give me a break honestly.

that's way longer than i thought, i'm sorry 😭😭. sincerely though, ur egyptian bestie 👋

HEY EGYPTIAN BESTIE🤩

Omg never apologize for a long message, I love hearing from you💞🤧 but you are SO RIGHT! I’m not mad at it, because like Jamie Vardy said “chat shit, get banged.” Mbappé ran his mouth and this is it coming back to haunt him🤷🏾‍♀️

Argentine fans are having fun with it but it’s not like Dibu made that doll💀 and remember when back in 2018 France made a song about Kanté stopping Messi and they kept singing that🤔 because I do……I remember that clearly.

Remember in 2014, when the German players were celebrating in Berlin, they were singing songs about: "This is how the gauchos walk, the gauchos walk like this," chanted the Germans, mocking the South Americans as a hunched-over, short and little people.

Then came the Germans.

"This is how the Germans walk, the Germans walk like this." Back straight. Tall. Proud.

So people truly need to get over themselves. A teenage mutant ninja turtle teddy and a doll with his face on it is truly tame compared to how Argentina have been mocked over the years😒

#and see!! I knew argentines were not upset #I saw a headline that said ‘Messi lifted the World Cup and it’s the worst moment in history’ AND THE ARTICLE WAS ABOUT THE BISHT!!?#it was literally British media #FIFA even said they had one prepared according to Hugo Lloris’s size as well - they were going to do it regardless #the racism and islamophobia is disgusting #anon

Simone Arianne Biles (born March 14, 1997) is an artistic gymnast. With a combined total of 32 Olympic and World Championship medals, she is tied as the most decorated gymnast of all time. Her seven Olympic medals tied for the most Olympic medals won by an American gymnast. She is considered one of the greatest and most dominant gymnasts of all time. At the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, she won individual gold medals in the all-around, vault, and floor; bronze on the balance beam; and gold as part of the US team, dubbed the "Final Five". At the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, she won bronze on the balance beam, as well as silver with the US team, after struggling with "the twisties", a temporary loss of air balance awareness. Her partial withdrawal, focus on safety, mental health, and perseverance was praised. She is a five-time World all-around champion (2013–2015, 2018–2019), five-time World floor exercise champion (2013–2015, 2018–2019), three-time World balance beam champion (2014–2015, 2019), two-time World vault champion (2018–2019), a seven-time US national all-around champion (2013–2016, 2018–2019, 2021), and a member of the gold medal-winning American teams at 2014, 2015, 2018, and 2019 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. She is a three-time World silver medalist (2013 and 2014 on vault, 2018 on uneven bars) and a three-time World bronze medalist (2015 on vault, 2013 and 2018 on balance beam). She is the gymnast with the most World medals (25) and most World gold medals (19). She is the female gymnast with the most World all-around titles (5). She is the sixth woman to win an individual all-around title at both the World Championships and the Olympics, and the first gymnast since 1996 to hold both titles simultaneously. She is the tenth female gymnast and first American female gymnast to win a World medal in every event, and the first female gymnast since 1988 to win a medal in every event at a single Olympic Games or World Championships, having accomplished this feat at the 2018 World Championships in Doha. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #womenshistorymonth https://www.instagram.com/p/CpxNIvWLbaL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Colin’s notes and interpretation

After collaborating twice with SUGA, IU choose V to star with her in the MV for her song “Love wins all”.

More details about the concept were shared in an interview with the MV director (Eng translation, original article). V’s character is partially blind, IU’s character can’t talk, the camcorder shows the filter of love, and the square symbolises discrimination.

IU’s custom wedding dress was designed in the Korean haute couture house Dénicheur (Instagram post), props were provided by The Prop (Instagram post), and they filmed at Freya, an abandoned beach resort in Yangyang (rental website, with pictures).

DÜNYA KUPASI ARJANTİNE GİTTİ

Katar'ın ev sahipliği yaptığı Dünya kupası Doha nın 88 bin kişilik en büyük stadı Lusail'de oynandı 2022 FIFA Dünya Kupası'nın finali Arjantin ile Fransa karşı karşıya geldi bu zaten beklenen bir tahmındi

mücadeleyi Polonyalı hakem Szymon Marciniak yönettı ama bence muhteşem iş çıkardı diyebilirim maçın dakika dakıka oynanmasından çok takımların ve futbolculuklarından bahsedecegim.

Katar Dohada tam 32 takım mücadele ettı daha sonra 16 takım kaldı sonra 8 sonra 4 derken kupanın en flaş takımı bence Fas oldu bu da dünya 4 .oldu 3. Olan Hırvatıstanda çıkış yapan iyi takımlardandı .

Avrupadan kimler elenmediki Almanlar ;Hollandalılar .İspanyollar ,portekızlıler ve İngilizler güney Amerika dan Brezılya bunlar favorı takımlardı zaten İtalya kupaya bile gelemedi.

Sonuca gelelim isterseniz musabakanın normal süresi Arjantının 2 farklı öne geçmesine rağmen Fransanın Mbpanesı 2 dakıkada iki gol atınca 2-2 bitti uzatmalarda Son dakikalarda Arjantın öne geçsede yine bir penaltı ile Fransa oyuna dengeyi getirdi sonunda maç Penaltılara gitti iki penaltı kaçıran Fransa dünya ikincisi oldu Arjantınde dünya kupasını Arjantıne Güney amerikaya götürdül muhteşem bir final yaşadık diyebilirim.

Fransa, Rusya 2018'in ardından Katar 2022'de de şampiyon olsaydı ama olmadı.

tarihte üst üste Dünya Futbolcu ve teknik adam olarak Dünya Kupası şampiyonluğu yaşayan turnuvadaki tek teknik adam Fransanın hocası Didier Deschamps ayrıca, Deschamps Dünya Kupası'nda bir ülkeyi üst üste finale çıkaran dört teknik adamdan biri oldu.

Daha önce Vittorio Pozzo ile İtalya Carlos Bilardo ile Arjantin ve Franz Beckenbauer ile de Almanya bunu başarmıştı.

Turnuvanın adanı Messi oldu Messi, Arjantin ile Brezilya 2014'te final gördü ancak Almanya, Götze'nin dakikada attığı golle şampiyon olmuşdu.

Messi Kulüp kariyerinde uzun yıllar formasını giydiği Barcelona ve Paris Saint-Germain ile kazanmadığı kupa kalmayan 35 yaşındaki Messi'nin, final oynadığı halde şampiyon olamadığı tek turnuva Dünya Kupasıydı onuda aldi.

Dünya Kupası finalinde Pele'den sonra gol atan en geç futbolcu unvanını elde eden Kylian Mbappe, ninde hakkını yemeyelım inanılmaz bir futbolcu .

Rusyaki dünya sampıyonasında 2018'de 7 maçta da forma şansı bulan Mbappe, biri finalde olmak üzere 4 gol atmıştı Fransız yıldız, Katar 2022'de de bütün maçlarda forma giydı , şu ana kadar bu maçda dahıl 7 gollük performans sergiledi.

Mbappe ve Messi, 7 şer golle 2022 Dünya Kupası'nda krallık yarışında zirveyi paylaştı.

Tüm ülkeleri ve şampıyonu kutlamak gerek .
