So today was the last day of the Fifa World Cup, 2022 at Qatar. It is the Argentina who won it 4-2 in tiebreaker round. A fantastic game of football from both ends. Trailing by 2-0 then equalize it, then again 3-2 in the extra time and equalize again. World witnessed Messi and Mbappe duet show and at the last messi become messiah along with the Argentine goalkeeper D.Martinez.

It was even steven in 120 minutes, but it is a game. Somebody will win and somebody will lose it. Fighting spirit and never say die attitude makes you win in life. But today Messi and Mbappe both won it because today game of football won. Fight till the last- this is what life is all about.

So Argentina ends their 36 years drought and win the world cup for the third time. Congratulation Argentina, congratulation Messi. Thanks for inspiring our generation and millions of youth.

Dear Neymar, we love you. If Messi after trying from 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018 can win it in 2022 why can’t Brasil. If they can why you can’t. Why Brasil can’t? Though brasilians are not well acquainted with the game of cricket but I am here to tell them the story. I hope it can lift them up. England who invented cricket never won the world cup till 2019. In 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup they even thrashed by Bangladesh which ensure they are out of the group stage. Yes, group stage. Then they prepare, made a team, put their believe, fight, everything in the team. They won the ICC cricket world cup in 2019 and Icc t20 world cup in 2022. If they can, Brasil definitely can. Just they need to believe. Brasil will rise, not only for them but for all of us; for the game of football and for its art. Argentina lift it for Maradona, messi, Brasil will win it for Pele, Ronaldo and Neymar. Brasil will lift the world cup for its die hard fan across the globe.

But now the question is why I put this title. Today the main difference was Messi and Mbappe. It had become easy cake walk for Argentina untill Mbappe had arrived and become a mountain between world cup and Argentina. He is just 23 years old. He scored a hattrick in the final and all total 4 goals in the world cup final. Won the world cup when he was just 18 years old. After scoring for France, he becomes just the second men’s player to score in back-to-back Finals (Vavá, 1958 & 1962). Vava played for Brasil.Geoff Hurst and Kylian Mbappe, the only two men to score World Cup final hattricks. Now all eyes on Neymar and Brasil and they have to play for them, for us, for samba, for latin america.

Mbappe is genius, I have never seen playing Pele, Maradona. But I am happy that I am witnessing Mbappe’s brilliance and definitely world is entering into new era.

See you Brasil in 2026. Last time U.s.a host it in 1994 and Brasil won it. So, till then..:)
