[aussiesportscorner]

One could be forgiven for having a strange sense of deja vu for this year’s FIFA world cup. Australia’s group stage opponents, France and Denmark, were also in our group in 2018. The fourth and final member of the 2018 group C, Peru, was the last hurdle for the Socceroos to qualify for the 2022 edition, a game we eventually won on penalties, 5-4. Back then an own goal against France and a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Peru was enough to send us back home from Russia.

9 minutes into our first game of the 2022 FIFA world cup, like in 2018, against France, a country dared to dream, with Craig Goodwin scoring our first goal that was not a penalty at a FIFA world cup since Tim Cahill’s iconic left foot volley against the Netherlands in 2014. However, 18 minutes later France would equalise, and after that, it was all one-way traffic, as France ran out 4-1 winners, a margin 2 goals bigger than our encounter 4 years before.

4 hours earlier, a 0-0 draw between Tunisia and Denmark would prove pivotal in our hopes of progressing to the knockout stage.

For our second game of the tournament, against Tunisia, a second loss would surely see us go home, but 23 minutes in, Mitchell Duke scored and this would be enough to see Australia’s first win at a FIFA world cup since defeating Serbia 2-1 in 2010, but unlike that tournament in which Australia missed the knockout stage on goal difference, the Socceroos would still have one more game to play, but our defeat to France made missing on goal difference a very real chance yet again.

The equation would be simple, win and we go through to our first knockout stage since 2006, and the so-called golden generation, a draw would see us relying on a France team resting players to defeat Tunisia, something that would not occur, and a loss would see us losing out on spots in the knockout stage to France and Denmark yet again.

After a scoreless first half, anyone awake at 3am Sydney time would have surely been nervous, our fate was in our hands, and with the hero against the French, Craig Goodwin subbed off shortly after play recommenced, Australia was holding out for somebody, anybody, to put them in front, and with 30 minutes of play to go, their prayers would be answered, playing in his third world cup Matthew Leckie would score his first goal in the tournament with Australia holding onto this lead for the half hour that remained, qualifying for the knockout stage for the first time in 16 years.

But what about The first golden generation, how did they fair? After a come-from-behind win of 3-1 against Japan, and a 2-0 loss to Brazil, a 2-2 draw to Croatia would be enough to see us qualify on 4 points for the knockout phase. But Australia’s 2 wins in the 2022 edition would see us make it with 6 points. As manager Graham Arnold said “I’ve been listening and hearing about that golden generation of 2006. They got 4 points and now we’ve got 6.” Suggesting that his team should go down in history as better than that team, and who am I to argue.

Next on Australia’s radar is Argentina, a team we last played in 2007, and have only defeated once in 7 matches, back in 1988. A team that also boasts one of, if not the best player of this generation Lionel Messi. There’s always a chance that we get past the round of 16 teams, but a scoreline similar to that of a game against France would not be out of the question.

[ofprincessesandqueens]

I agree this is one of those WC (my father calls them 1966 bis) where FIFA has a winner in mind (although if the team doesn’t help itself it doesn’t amount to anything. Ex: Brazil at home in 2014). But I disagree that the Arg team behaviour has been constantly despicable. They have their hotheads (De Paul, Otamendi, Paredes, even Dibu) but the others never acted quite like against the Netherlands. It was clearly a (wrong) reaction against something in particular that Weghorst apparently said.1/2

2/2 That would be like calling Zidane a foul player for the well deserved cabezazo he gave Materazzi in the 2006 final. Messi never liked losing, but he was clearly reacting idiotically to something there. On another note, as a Colombian and therefore Boca Juniors Stan I actually liked the Topo Gigio against Van Gal vindicating Riquelme and all other Southamerican players he did wrong. He even replicated Román’s little jump lol. I know it’s petty but I liked it sfdgdfsfdft. Fra-Arg will be CRAZY

Your father has seen things xD. Obviously, teams can be helped to an extent, but I just DESPISE the unfairness of it all and it blows up the game. I love the competition of it, so it annoys the hell out of me when you know not all teams have the same chances. I mentioned the 2002 World Cup for a reason.

For me, Paredes and Messi's behaviour in particular have no excuses. They are not kids in their first WC and as I said in previous asks for me Messi is sort of that player who throws the stone but hides the hand. I will never forget what he did to Villa, so it's not like I'm judging him for a single event!

Messi’s Dream Comes True In FIFA World Cup 2022 After A Long Wait

At the Lusail Stadium on Sunday, Argentina outdid themselves with a magnificent performance to win their third FIFA World Cup title. They prevailed over France 4-2 (3-3) in a penalty shootout to claim the trophy. Lionel Messi was outstanding for the team.

He scored two goals during the first 120 minutes and then coolly put the penalty kick in the back of the net during the shootout to win the game. Messi now has both major international titles, Copa America and FIFA World Cup.

Messi was the first player to step up to take the penalty kick, and he calmly and confidently converted the goal. Gonzalo Montiel, one of Messi's teammates, scored the goal that proved the game-winner, elevating Argentina to their third Football World Cup championship.

As soon as Montiel's penalty kick was completed, Messi was overcome with emotion, and his Argentine teammates rushed over to give him a celebratory hug. It was the first time in the great's career that he could win the Football World Cup.

Throughout the match, Kylian Mbappe of France gave Messi a run for his money to win a golden trophy. The attacker for France scored a hat trick to help the defending champions come back from a 2-0 deficit and then evened the match again after Messi made it 3-2 in extra time. 

Must Read Our Blog On How Kylian Mbappe Ended Up Winning A Golden Boot In FIFA World Cup 2022.

It was commonly believed that the competition in Qatar would be Messi's last opportunity to compete in the Football World Cup because he was 35 years old and approaching the conclusion of his career. And if that turns out to be the truth, he saved the best for last. 

He has now scored 13 goals at World Cup competition, moving him over Pele into fourth place on the all-time list of Football World Cup scorers, tied with Just Fontaine. His seven goals in this year's event exceeded Maradona's five goals in 1986's competition in Mexico.

Lionel Messi's Performance At Football World Cup

The Argentina captain competed in the 2014 final and lost to Germany by 1-0. However, the magic he produced to match in and out during his prime years playing for Barcelona did not appear to translate when he represented his country in blue and white stripes.

After scoring 7 goals and registering 3 assists in the 2022 event in Qatar, there was little doubt about who would be awarded the honor of being presented with the FIFA World Cup Golden Ball. The honor is presented to the best player in the tournament. 

Lionel Messi is the winner of the Golden Ball, making him the only player in the annals of the competition to have won the trophy on two separate occasions. He was selected as the most outstanding player in 2014 when Argentina's team came in second place behind Germany.

The Argentine, who is 35 years old, has won a record seven Ballon d'Or trophies, presented by the French news magazine France Football to the best international soccer player of the year. The Argentine also has a completely loaded trophy case. 

Now that Lionel "Leo" Messi has won the FIFA World Cup, his reputation as one of the best players in the history of his sport is likely to be cemented in the eyes of the majority of soccer fans. The World Cup trophy was the one significant missing piece until Sunday.

Finally, Lionel Messi and Argentina won the penalty shootout against France by a score of 4-2 following an extra-time thriller. However, Messi has never set out to become the player regarded as the GOAT, an acronym that stands for the best player of all time.

Lionel Messi’s Football Career And Achievements 

According to Messi, when he was a kid, he didn't fantasize about being a soccer superstar; rather, he focused on accomplishing small goals, finishing one at a time before moving on to the next. Messi is quoted as saying, "I fought for my dreams." 

Even as a small child diagnosed with growth hormone insufficiency at 11, Messi has always been a good athlete. However, the superstar, who measures only 5 feet 7 inches, is unwavering in his assertion that a strong work ethic has been the primary factor in his ongoing success.

Messi said, "Initially, I wanted to make a living as a professional player. After that, I challenged myself to improve and set fresh objectives for each new year." According to his previous interviews, he puts in long hours of practice to maintain his level of play on the soccer field. 

And even though he had been known for a long time as a superstar worldwide, it took him approximately 16 years and five World Cup competitions until he finally won the elusive title. He has ultimately fulfilled his dream and won the Football World Cup 2022.

Along with the substantial revenue he's raked in throughout his 18-year career, the new trophy is a welcome addition to his already impressive collection. According to Forbes, he has over $130 million in earnings for this year, making him the highest-paid athlete in the world in 2022.

According to estimations provided by Forbes, this figure takes into account a base income of approximately $75 million from his club team, Paris Saint-Germain, and $55 million from endorsements and other off-field pursuits.

Being the best can result in significant financial gain. But Messi insisted that being one of the sport's all-time greats was never his intention; instead, he attributed his success to his efforts over a long period, allowing his natural ability to shine through.

Lionel Messi - The Golden Ball Receiver In The FIFA World Cup 2022

After each FIFA World Cup, various awards are presented to players who have distinguished themselves throughout the FIFA World Cup tournament. The Golden Gloves and the Golden Boot are two of the most significant awards that may be won in this competition. 

The Golden Ball is given to the player with the most impressive overall performance, including the goals scored and the outstanding abilities displayed. The player who finishes the competition having racked up the most points and goals, is awarded the Golden Boot. 

The Golden Ball award for best player in the FIFA World Cup 2022 goes to Lionel Messi of Argentina for his remarkable performance. Messi will not compete in another World Cup after the 2022 FIFA World Cup. So, it was his last chance, and he finally got it. 

The Golden Ball award at the FIFA World Cup was first given out in 1982 alongside the Golden Boot trophy, and ever since then, it has been presented at every football competition. This honor has only ever been bestowed upon a single keeper (Oliver Kahn in 2002).

A FIFA technical committee compiles a short list of players, and then a group of media representatives cast their votes on the candidates from that list. Every player is still eligible for the honor, even if they weren't a part of the squad winning the championship.

Italy, Argentina, and Brazil have all amassed ten victories, making each country the most successful in the competition. Because of the numerous instances of game-winning brilliance they have contributed along the way, Messi and Mbappe were the two leading contenders.

Kylian Mbappe, the renowned French attacker, was tied for first place with Messi for the most goals scored in this tournament with five goals. In addition to scoring goals, Mbappe has been able to assist his teammates on two separate occasions. 

Kylian Mbappe was a great possibility to compete for the Golden Ball because he had an accuracy percentage of 83.4%. But, unfortunately, the award can be won by only one person. And this time, Messi got that luck and finally received the prestigious Golden Ball Award. 

Final Words 

Overall the Football World Cup 2022 Finals in Qatar was a heart-throbbing, thrilling match full of excitement. Football lovers will remember the team's contribution along with Messi's performance. Keep waiting for the next round of excitement in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.

FC 25 Best New Icon Rating Leaks - Angerer, Buffon, Bale and more

With EA SPORTS FC 25 releasing on September 27, 2024, there have been rumors about which icons will be in the game. This is usually a big part of EA's football video game.

This icon pack features one of the all-time greats and their stats have been upgraded, which makes them a must-get for Ultimate Team. Parts of their cards that receive an upgrade are their dribbling, pace, passing, shooting, defending, physicality, skill moves, weak foot accuracy, and playstyles. So make sure you keep an eye out for when these icon cards will be released.

Nadine Angerer - 92 OVR

Angerer has played for Frauen-Bundesliga clubs Bayern Munich, Turbine Potsdam (with whom she won the 2005 UEFA Women's Cup), and FFC Frankfurt. In 2008, she played for Djurgårdens IF of the Swedish Damallsvenskan and she spent two periods on loan with Brisbane Roar of the Australian W-League in 2013 and 2014. During her extensive international career, Angerer was recognized as one of the world's best female goalkeepers.

Germany won the UEFA Women's Championship on each of the five occasions Angerer was involved and won the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2003 and 2007. Their best finish at the Olympics was third in 2000, 2004 and 2008. Angerer is a penalty-saving specialist, having stopped Marta's kick in the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup Final and both Trine Rønning and Solveig Gulbrandsen's during the UEFA Women's Euro 2013 Final.

Gianluigi Buffon - 91 OVR

Gianluigi "Gigi" Buffon is a former Italian professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. Widely regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, and by some the greatest of all time, he is one of the few recorded players to have made over 1,100 professional career appearances and holds the record for the most appearances in Serie A.

Buffon was named by Pelé in the FIFA 100 list of the world's greatest living players in 2004. He is the only goalkeeper to win the UEFA Club Footballer of the Year award, which he achieved after reaching the 2003 Champions League final; he also won UEFA's award for best goalkeeper that year and was additionally voted into the UEFA Team of the Year on five occasions. Buffon was the runner-up for the Ballon d'Or in 2006 and was elected part of the FIFPro World11 three times. He was the first-ever goalkeeper to win the Golden Foot Award and was also named the IFFHS World's Best Goalkeeper a record five times, alongside Iker Casillas and Manuel Neuer. He would go on to be named the best goalkeeper of the 21st century, of the past 25 years, and of the decade by the same organization.

Aya Miyama - 90 OVR

Aya Miyama is a Japanese former footballer who played for the Japan national team starting in 2003, and from 2012 to 2016 served as captain of the team. She appeared in four World Cups between 2003 and 2015 and was part of the team that won the 2011 World Cup for Japan. Miyama also led Japan to a silver medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

At the 2011 World Cup in Germany, Miyama scored the winner – a curling free kick – to help Japan beat New Zealand, and netted Japan's first goal in the final against the USA. Miyama also scored Japan's first penalty of the eventual penalty shoot-out in the final which ended 2–2 after extra time. Her team won 3–1 in the penalty shoot-out, making them the first Asian team to win the World Cup. In the moment of victory, Miyama did not join her teammates in celebration but instead went to the American players to hug and congratulate them. This has been reported both by Hope Solo and the Japanese media as evidence of Miyama's sportsmanship and respect for her opponents.

 Gareth Bale - 88 OVR

Gareth Frank Bale is a Welsh former professional footballer who played as a winger, most notably for Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid, and the Wales national team. He is widely regarded as one of the best footballers of his generation and one of the greatest Welsh players of all time. He was known for his explosive pace, athleticism, and powerful strikes from a distance.

One of the fastest footballers in the world at his peak, Bale started out as an offensive left-back or wing-back at the beginning of his career. It was at Tottenham Hotspur that his manager Harry Redknapp decided to utilise Bale's pace and played him as a left winger, where he developed into a world-class player. He was predominantly known for his speed, strength, stamina, and heading ability, but also possessed good technique and ball control. His skills, combined with his acceleration and physicality, allowed him to get past defenders regularly and make runs into space, where he was able to score or create. Bale was also a free-kick specialist and was known for employing the "knuckleball" technique (popularised by Juninho Pernambucano) when taking free kicks. As he moved further forward onto the wing, he began to score goals on a regular basis with powerful strikes from outside the penalty box. In addition to his athletic and offensive capabilities, Bale also drew praise in the media for his work rate and defensive contribution off the ball.
