⚽"ALWAYS" TWO DIFFERENT TOURNAMENTS, WITH THE SAME TWO NAMES

This month there are two major football tournaments besides the World Cup, the European Cup and the Copa America. The European Cup of Nations is held from June 14 to July 14, while the Copa America is held from June 20 to July 14, 2024.

Two different tournaments with different styles, there will be a lot of American dances presented in the Copa America and it is difficult to predict. While the European Nations Cup will show the high quality of the results of a much more competitive competition, it will be presented in very tight matches.

Based on the facts, the European Cup of Nations is much more entertaining than the Copa America. This refers to the fierce rivalry of the varied champions, while the Copa America is never far from the big countries that have a strong football history on the continent. Call It Uruguay and Argentina who have won 15 titles each, followed by Brazil with 9 titles. Even most of the 4 teams that will enter the semi-finals are almost sure to be filled by the 3 countries.

Nevertheless, in almost the last 1 decade the same two names have always been in the limelight and have always emerged as the best football icons of the moment. Two of the same names in each tournament are always mentioned, even though the two tournaments are different and always compared with both.

Who else but Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, two footballers who are the benchmark between hard work and maximizing talent?

Personally, I am a little bored with the two names, but the facts prove that both have different classes than other players. So that the names of other great players such as Andres Iniesta, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Arjen Robben in Europe, as well as Neymar Da Silva, Angel Di Maria, and Luis Suarez on the American continent, are diminished by the news and greatness of the two most successful players in the world.

Now it's time for us to enjoy two different tournaments with the names of other talented players, the era of the two stars entering retirement. Their greatness is only a matter of technique and big names, speed, determination, and physical strength have begun to decline.

This year we will see how his potential is Endrick in Brazil, Alejandro Garnacho in Argentina, and Luciano Rodriguez in the Uruguayan national team. As well as the big names Vinicius Jr., Lautaro Martinez, Julian Alvarez, and several other names.

In Europe, big-name players like Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane, Antoine Griezmann, and Pedri, will be the other headlines. Of course with potential young players such as Jude Bellingham, Jamal Musala, Florian Wirtz to Jeremie Frimpong.

It could be that the deciding rounds in these two different tournaments will present names that are no longer the same.
