Portugal defeated Switzerland 6:1. In that match, Ronaldo was not in the starting lineup. He went on the field after 70 minutes. Santos picked the optimal squad for the match. But it didn't work against Morocco. I think Santos simply underestimated the Moroccans. All in all, this is a good coach who made a small mistake.
I never knew that the world cup trophy is such a unique thing and that no one can touch it.
I read on instagram that Salt Bea is banned - because he touched the trophy.
That's is very new thing for me.
Honestly, I still can't believe that Argentina is the world champion. Lionel Messi's dream of thousands of days has come true, he has repeatedly reached the semi-finals, finals but has not been able to win the title he deserves. This time, through the brilliant performance of Lionel Messi, Argentina went ahead and defeated France in the final and was able to win the World Cup title. Through which Lionel Messi's football career is fulfilled.
Why do you think that's a surprise? Argentina was a big favorite for the title of world champion from the beginning.
Before this World Cup, Argentina played with Messi only once in the 2014 final against Germany and lost.
At the 2018 World Cup, they lost in the round of 16, and at the 2006 and 2010 World Cups, they lost in the quarter-finals, so I don't understand what kind of lost semi-finals for Messi you are talking about.
Of course, we are all happy for Messi, that his dream has finally come true
Argentina's win brought me so much joy. When France almost snatched the cup from Argentina with their equalizing goal in the second half i was wondering if the 23 years old Mbappé will have to win the world cup two times in a roll without any opposition but was delighted when the penalty shoot ended in favour of Argentina and finally Messi won the only cup he hasn't won in his career he can even decide to retire anytime soon.
