It's a crazy show at Qatar | Vamos ARGENTINA
What an amazing end to the 2022 FIFA world cup, crowning Argentina for the third time. The perfect end to the World cup career of the GOAT Lionel Messi. And the grand finale, oh my god! One of the most dramatic finals ever in the most prestigious sporting event on earth.
So, let's see some highlights of what we witnessed this season. I am not a crazy fan of football, but a fan, precisely a seasonal fan. 😁
Qatar, as the host invested approximately US$220 billion this time using whopping technologies to deliver exceptional experiences to everyone. It's almost 10x than the last seasons.
It was the last World Cup of many legends like Messi, Ronaldo, Modric, Pepe, Lewandowski, Di Maria, etc.
BTS, Jungkook performed the official song Dreamers at the opening ceremony, making BTS haters also unable to resist that.
Germany, Belgium, Uruguay, Denmark, and Mexico (Teams in the Top 15) couldn't go through from the Group stage.
Saudi Arabia defeated Argentina, Japan defeated Spain and Germany, and Morocco team became the most revolutionary team of the tournament.
Morocco defeated Belgium in the group stage, Spain in Round 16, and Portugal in the Qatar final to reach the Semis. They are the first African team to reach that extent. Kudos!
Brazil, one of the favorites in the tournament knocked out in the quarter-finals being defeated by Croatia. So, the dream of Neymar and Ronaldo faded away once again.
Croatia, under the captaincy of legend Modric, became the third in the tournament following being the runners-up in the last edition. Modric is one of the inspirational and best in the business.
The Grand Finale
France and Argentina met each other to fight for glory. It was hard to predict with the talent and chemistry in both teams.
But in the first half Argentina, dominated the field, with two goals from Di Maria and Messi. But Mbappe turned around the match in the 80th minute scoring two goals within just 2 minutes. It was just crazy.
In the extra time, Messi once again scored a goal in the 108th minute. But Mbappe didn't give up. He leveled the scores by scoring another goal in the 118th minute.
The match decider was from Penalties. And Argentina won by 4-2. The goalkeeper Emi Martinez was a hero. His saves in penalties and the save in the 123rd minute kept the dream for Argentina.
- Kylian Mbappe won the Golden Boot. Emi Martinez takes Golden Glove, and Enzo Fernandez won the Young Player award. Messi won the Golden Ball.
Finals and Magical after celebrations
What an incredible time for Argentina. They lifted Copa America in 2021, came unbeaten, and lifted the trophy after 1986.
We couldn't have asked for perfect World Cup.
Until the next time! Enjoy!
Thank you.
Best Regards!

I don't even know what's happening in football. But I watch all the videos of Ronaldo.😅
