It was indeed a football final of epic proportions as the curtains came down on the FIFA World Cup 2022 at Qatar. Football experts and fans alike consider it the greatest football match that was ever played. Argentina deservedly were the winners, but then France did not deserve to lose. Obviously the game of football was the ultimate winner. Argentina have gifted the World Cup to Lional Messi who after the finals reportedly said that this will not be the last match of his career for Argentina but that he will continue to play for his country for some more time. While praising the Argentina football team one should not forget Diego Maradona who was instrumental in winning the World Cup in 1986, the same year Lionel Messi was born. The United States will host 60 matches, including every match from the quarterfinals onward, while neighboring Canada and Mexico will each host 10 matches. The next World Cup will be the first hosted by three nations. By that time many great players will have called it a day.
