The showpiece which has been the talk of the soccer world for months now will see the football greatest; past and present (in fact, I can say 'living and dead') grace it thanks to its uniqueness and majesty.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are the finest players of the game right now as they have won almost everything to prove this point - only for the two to be missing out on the World Cup trophy. What have they gotten in store for the edition that could as well see their last attempt? Stay with me, bud.
Both the Portuguese and the Argentine have won everything available on the club level - both individually and for the club they make appearances for. But that thread that ties the football greatest players of all time as one has not stretched to their side. Could one of the two lay their trophy laden hands on that golden crown in Russia? Why not!
Lionel Messi has had a better World Cup outings compared to his rival but still missed out in the final match against Germany four years ago. Cristiano Ronaldo has never been to a World Cup final, he has however won an honor with his national team when he guided Portugal to a surprising European Championship triumph in 2016.

Argentina might have arguably the best player out there on their side, but they do not possess a team of outstanding players like Brazil, Spain, France and even Germany do. It is verily not going to be easy for them to reach another final consecutively.
And Portugal? Don't even go there, bud. It was such a shock to the football world to see them lift the European Championship two years ago despite the quality of players in their squad. Ronaldo is the best out there, yes, but he wouldn't be attacking and stopping shots at the same time, would he? He's no 'Splash' to cry out loud. But like the Real Madrid talisman said to his team, "in football, everything is possible!" And you know, World Cup tournament always come with its pack of surprises.
