The world cup of this year has too many unexpected teams to win the ball games. Even this match was called “Twilight of the god”. The traditional top teams like Brazil and Portugal still cannot reach to the final round. It’s proved that football is a group activity that it would be effected by a person. What a pity that we cannot see a game happen between Messi and Ricardo.

Jesse’s version
This year’s world cup has seen a lot of teams win that weren’t expected to. Despite this year’s world cup being named “T…..” traditionally top teams like Brazil and Portugal were still not able to reach the finals. This proves that football is a team sport where the team is much more important than the individual. It’s such a pity that we have not been able to see a game between Messi and Ronaldo.
