With both Messi and Ronaldo playing in their last ever World Cup, as announced by both of them, this could be their final chance in gaining that elusive crown of world champion in their already overflowing trophy cabinet.
However, even before the knockout stages have begun, Messi fans in particular have begun with the narrative that it is always Messi who gets the hard end of the stick as far as tournament draws are concerned.

FIFA World Cup 2022: The Going Only Gets Tougher For Argentina Here And Can They Do It!!?
Argentina faced Australia, whom they beat with a slight difficulty. Now, they face the Netherlands, which is another tough outing in itself. And if they go ahead and win that too, they face the ultimate test before the test, with either Spain or Brazil waiting in the wings for them.
Simple right? Argentina will definitely fancy their chances against all the sides. But the knockout stages are a different cup of tea. And everyone knows what happened the last World Cup where Argentina lost to France after being 2-1 up. Things are never this simple in the beautiful game of football.
That is exactly why we love this sport and have expectations. However, upsets are always a possibilities with such great hopes. And the pressure can surely get to teams. So things are always interesting in any form of sport.

Well whatever it may be, for now the dream is still possible. And for the sake of the entire Football World, we do hope that they get what they wish for.
