The Qatar World Cup has come to an end with the victory of Argentina. Argentina beat France in the final on 19 December. It was Argentina’s victory in 36 years. Lionel Messi completed the last World Cup of his life scoring seven goals and leading Argentina to the World Cup Trophy. He set the most trip record of the World Cup, by participating in 26 competitions and a record of scoring in every round. On the other hand, Christiano Ronaldo, the player who used to compete with Messi all the time, failed to impress in the tournament. Aged 37, Ronaldo scored just one goal in the World Cup, with slowed pace and lacking technique. Compared to past glory, he finished his national team career with disappointing result. Luka Modric, Lewandowski, Luis Suarez, and Pepe ended the last dance as well. Modric, the captain of Croatia national team, got bronze medal with good performance. Lewandowski who is one of the best strikers contributed Poland’s advance to the round of 16, which was made in 36 years. Uruguay with Suarez was eliminated from the group stage, unfortunately. Brazil, which was the favorite, unexpectedly lost against Croatia in the quarterfinal. The rising generation also made a good fight. Kylian Mbappe scored eight goals during the tournament. Enzo Fernandez made a great contribution to Argentina’s victory and was awarded Young Player Award. The Qatar World Cup stunned the whole world with the performance of Asian countries and the elimination of European powerhouses. The festival of people all over the world heat up the winter. The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be held in three North American countries: Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
