The World Cup is an opportunity to show skills for young players who have the potential for a bright future, they will show their talent to steal the attention of elite clubs in Europe. Players will change over time, because they can't fight the movement of age. We used to be able to watch the beautiful game of Ronaldinho, after that it was Messi and Ronaldo. Maybe in the future other talented players can be born to replace their role. Losing the two gridiron legends will not reduce the interest of football lovers in the 2026 world cup, because generations of players will continue to change.

Players may come and go. But for my generation, Messi and Ronaldo are like legends. They represent the sport of football for an entire generation, as they have been playing for more than 15 years. Obviously in the next world cup (2026) some new player may take their place. And it is quite possible that some of the younger fans back then won't recognize how good Messi and Ronaldo were. For my parents' generation, Diego Maradona, Zinedine Zidane, Peter Schmeichel, Romário and Roberto Baggio were the heroes. But I don't feel nostalgic for them, because I was a small kid back then. For me, my heroes are Messi and Ronaldo. For the next generation, it maybe someone else.

Well, I also think the same as you, for my other generation to come out like these two is very difficult, now the replacement generation is in charge of Haaland, of Mbappé and I think that these players do not have enough level to reach that of Messi and CR7, the only thing missing for them is to have or lift a world cup, this year could be the world cup for CR7 or for Messi, although Messi has let go of a world cup final, that at that moment he was so disappointed and what he said that he was going to retire from football, at that time Barcelona made him change his mind, and it is because of this that he still gives us those master moves at PSG, I sincerely would like Portugal to win because of the series of rudeness they have given CR7 .

World Cup hosting rights were granted to Qatar in a hurry and without much introspection from the part of FIFA. Even back then, there were allegations that the Qatari officials were openly bribing poor members to vote in their favor. And ever since they won the bidding, there have been serious allegations of mistreatment of migrant workers and LGBT individuals within Qatar. FIFA has taken no action to this date, to ensure that adequate compensation is provided to the close to 6,000 migrant workers who died during the construction of world cup stadiums.

The same doubts existed in the case of awarding the World Cup to Russia 2018 and of course FIFA covered everything up and nothing happened.
FIFA is actually a commercial company and the only thing they are interested in is the expected earnings from the World Cup, and Russia and Qatar obviously offered more money than other competitors, and that was the only thing that mattered in the decision-making process.
Sports motives, honesty, fight against corruption? Don't be ridiculous, FIFA is one of the most corrupt organizations in the world, just look at who the members of the FIFA executive committee are and everything will be clear to you Grin

Football is no longer just a sport, but exclusively a business.

There is no doubt FIFA is commercial company, and they are doing this all very good because with this they are having enough funds and good marketing which is helping them for having enough funds and other facilities which are giving them good access to all other things which are fruitful for this game soccer, and they are also good in their system and rules which are helping to stay completely neutral in many cases and if any federation is doing anything wrong they are capable of ban them even punish for better results for others and going strong into their system which is very important for this game's development.

Just no FIFA is the most corrupt organization we have too many but right now they are world's most popular, so peoples have more updates about this and I agree with their this all way of business because this is good for game and future of this game.

Well you have to understand something, FIFA has always had a very broad business model, many acts of corruption were discovered, fixed matches, drug cases that were allowed to pass, a whole world of corruption, and there must still be some acts, but that it is more difficult to discover them, everything is more armored, however I have seen corruption even with the VAR itself when they have robbed some teams until the classification due to favoritism that now is not worth mentioning, I only know that there is still corruption, and I don't only in football in all sports is there corruption, the football business has a lot of money involved, and this is something that is unfortunately above sport.
