People of all ages will be discussing tactics (战术) and predicting results (perhaps you are one of them). Wherever you go, you’ll feel the football fever! You’ve probably guessed what I’m talking about: the FIFA World Cup. It’s the world’s biggest single-sport event, and this year, it’s bigger than ever. As many as 48 national teams, up from the previous (先前的) 32, are competing for the trophy. More teams means more matches. Following the first four games played yesterday and today, 100 more will take place over the next 37 days. That’s about ten weeks of Premier League football packed into just over a month. But what truly excites football fans goes far beyond these record-breaking numbers. When it comes to the most talked-about rivalry in modern football, one stands above all others: Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Fans often go wild comparing the two. If Portugal and Argentina play their cards right, we might get to see these two superstars go head-to-head, perhaps for the last time, given that they are already 38 and 41 years old. The path to this potential (可能的) quarter-final clash is the same for both teams: win the group and then survive two knockout rounds. With one of the strongest midfields in world football, Portugal’s chances are looking good. Argentina, the defending champions, are also expected to go far. Younger players deserve attention, too. At 27, French striker Kylian Mbappé is widely seen as one of the future faces of the game. Across two previous World Cups, he has scored 12 goals, just four short of Miroslav Klose’s all-time World Cup record. This year’s tournament offers him a realistic chance to rewrite the record books. Another rising star to watch is 18-year-old Lamine Yamal. The Spaniard is already the youngest player to have competed in and won the European Championship (UEFA Euro 2024). With his talent for creating chances and scoring curling shots from distance, he is expected to help his country chase its first World Cup title since 2010. It’s only Day 2 of the tournament, so it’s too early to say anything for sure. Will there be a dark horse? What shocking upsets will we see? Just make a guess and wait for the surprises to unfold!
