Well said as regards the impact of Messi on the Argentina squad. If they do get to the finals, they might win. Am hoping a stronger opponent like Morocco which has been a revelation for the African side, to face the Argentine side in the finals. France has been there in the finals more. Let Africa be in the finals. They have done well so far for a less dominant Continent.
I guess the majority of people are with Morrocco just because they are first African to reach semis of world cup. It will be so good to see Morrocco winning this worldcup. The two legendary footballers are leaving football after this worldcup, Ronaldo career is over for Portugal. Let's see whether Messi can win the cup for Argentina before his retirement.
Cristiano already said that winning the world cup would be a dream for him, but Portugal had no luck. I don't like Cristiano too much, but it would be a great title for his collection. About Messi, the same, but in this case let's see what happens. Regarding Morocco, I think that many people would like them to win as they are the underdog against historical champions, and it would be nice for an African team to win in Qatar.
The whole world knows his name - whether they are cricket fan or not. But it was heartbreaking seeing Ronaldo in tear. He deserved a better ending of his career.
