    I mean he already is the greatest to majority of people. There isn’t another player who gets called the GOAT more than him necessarily. But yea obviously I hope he wins even though I think he won’t.

    It would be more fun if it was a Portugal-Argentina game

    As far as Morrocco goes: good riddance. And obviously they rioted again.

    Of course, this would be too good to be true but glad one of them made it to the finals in their last WC

    People forget about the 3rd legend that played his last WC: Modric

    For sure. Modric is probably a top 10 midfielder of all time. Just sucks it had to be Cr7 and Messi's last world cup too

    Argentina fans are all over Qatar. They are everywhere. Plenty of South Americans there.

    My experience in Qatar has been nothing but incredible and magical. Amazing. Qatar have outdone themselves. This is easily the best World Cup ever from every aspect... From how organized the host country is and how easy things are there. Public transports such as bus and metro are free for all, from that to the atmosphere there around different cities to the World Cup tournament itself and even the Soundtracks. The FIFA Fan zone area is incredible. I got myself some great souvenirs from the official FIFA store and I had to drink beer for the first time ever just so I could get that Budweiser cup as a souvenir as well. Will post some pics of myself there later.

    Might go back there again tomorrow night. (I live in Bahrain which is the closest country to Qatar) A flight from BH to Qatar is only around 20 minutes, however because due to some political issues since 2017 between the two countries which still have not been worked out, a flight from Bahrain to Qatar or vice versa is not possible for the time being, so the only way for us to get there is by car which is 4-5 hours drive.

    Brazil got robbed by officiating. They had an elite offense. It was rigged to make sure Brazil didn’t go to the finals. A very crooked sport, under my own investigation.
