This World Cup edition become last time for several star player like Cristiano Ronaldo until Lionel Messi. Fans expected both them could reach until final, between Portugal and Argentina not really interested for discussing because I think noth countries can't achieve good result on World Cup. But very sad will have between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will announce retired from national country after this World Cup edition ended. I really sad with my national country Italy failed reach to World Cup this time.
I can't believe that they have announced that they will retire after competing in the World Cup for their last edition match, we have lost 2 star players at once after the World Cup match ended, I hope they present spectacular matches for each country until the final match.It would be strange if they didn't leave the national team after this championship - after all, it's the pinnacle of a four-year cycle and their age means they won't make it to the next World Cup. It's better to leave on time than when you're dragging the team down. By the way, if I remember correctly, Messi has already ended his career in the national team several times and then resumed it.
But this may be true for Cristiano but for Messi I don't know considering he is like you said and he already has a spare ticket so he is free in and out
