The 2022 Qatar World Cup is destined to be extraordinary, life is hurried, the career of professional players is even shorter, and being able to participate in the World Cup every 4 years is also the dream of every player's life. However, this year, there will be a group of players who will bid farewell to the Stage of the World Cup, including our favorite Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. Whether the 37-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo and the 35-year-old Messi can hold out until the next World Cup is not impossible, but it is too difficult.
Therefore, more fans hope to see the peak duel between the two football geniuses in this Qatar World Cup, just like Huashan's sword, to divide the victory and defeat that does not need to be argued.
Existence is reasonable, messi's Argentina certainly has a chance to meet Portugal led by Cristiano Ronaldo, but how big will the odds be? Let's analyze it through the promotion chart.
1. Argentina and Portugal are at the same time in the first group or the second in the group at the same time, and then all the way through the barriers. Then the World Cup winner will be produced in these two teams. (Ideally)
2. Argentina group first, Portugal group second. Or Argentina second, Portugal first. Then there is a chance that the two teams will compete for tickets to the World Cup final. (Guess below)
Argentina first, Portugal second: Messi needs to beat Denmark, the Netherlands. Cristiano Ronaldo needs to beat Brazil, Spain or Germany.
Argentina second in the group, Portugal first in the group: Messi has to face France, England. Cristiano Ronaldo needs to beat Switzerland, and Belgium
3. If any team fails to qualify, then the game is coming to an end.
Ideals are full, reality is harsh, will Argentina and Portugal's opponents in the group stage or knockout round be adult beauty? The Netherlands, Brazil, Belgium, France or England certainly won't say yes easily.
Interestingly, the first World Cup trip of the C Romessi duo began in 2006, in these 4 sessions, which one is the closest to them?
2006 FIFA World Cup, Germany (Messi made 3 appearances and contributed 1 goal.) Ronaldo made 6 appearances, scoring 1 goal)
As long as either argentina and Portugal teams came first in the group and the other team in the second group 1/8 final, Argentina, who finished first in Group C, was defeated by Germany in the penalty shootout in the quarter-finals, starting their nightmare journey against Germany. Portugal, who finished first in Group D, was defeated by the seasoned France after fighting the Netherlands and England.
2010 FIFA World Cup south Africa (Messi 5 full-time, 0 goals.) Cristiano Ronaldo 4 matches, 1 goal)
Argentina and Portugal were in the lower half of the knockout rounds, except that Portugal were eliminated 1-0 by eventual champions Spain in the quarter-finals, while Argentina was beaten 4-0 by Germany in the quarter-finals.
2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil (Messi made 7 appearances, scoring 4 goals. Cristiano Ronaldo 3 matches, 1 goal)
As long as Portugal qualified second in the group and beat Belgium, argentina could meet Argentina in the quarter-finals, but unfortunately Portugal lost too much to Germany (0-4) and was eventually eliminated by the United States with the same points due to the disadvantage of goal difference. Argentina was eventually beaten by Germany in extra time in the final, and Messi is only one step away from the Hercules Cup.
2018 World Cup Russia (Messi 4 full attendance, contributed 1 goal. Cristiano Ronaldo scored 4 goals)
Mero, who was supposed to meet in the quarter-finals, was once again eliminated by Uruguay and France in the quarter-finals
The competitive nature of football determines that he cannot adapt the setting of the script to attract attention like a variety show. Perhaps imperfections and regrets are also part of the world cup's charm. I wish Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo all the best in their journey in this World Cup.
