Argentina, Messi And Qatar 2022 World Cup

Qatar's 2022 World Cup is over. Argentina became the champion for the third time. Lionel Messi proved himself. Equipped Argentine legend Diego Armando Maradona. Bringing his country to be the number one in the world for football. The match itself was fierce. Argentina was 2-0 up, but France through Mbappe in 2 minutes was able to score two goals for France so that the score became 2-2. As a result, a time extension was made which was finally both known. The score of the 3-3 draw again. Messi and Kylian Mbappe themselves scored again for Argentina and France so the fight for the champion had to be done through a penalty shootout won by Argentina.Lionel Messi is certainly the most happy person. Together with Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi competed for the best in the last 10 years. The only thing he has not felt was the lifting of the world trophy. Achievement that is a complement to his brilliant football career. If this year fails, there is no longer a chance. At the age now who is now 35 years old, it seems difficult for Messi to return to compete in the next world trophy. And finally everyone knows, Messi beat Ronaldo. Bringing his country to become world champion. Something that Cristiano Ronaldo is unlikely to accompany.

The world Cup is the largest single sporting event in the world. Billions of Earth's population watched the finals held in Qatar. Including the people in the country. For Indonesia, let alone being champions, to qualify for the world cup is also a dream. But at least this month the euphoria of world trophies has also been felt by football people and the Indonesian people. Hope to be a trigger to improve achievements. Everyone feels how the team is favored to return home. Sad because of Germany, the country that won four times won was eliminated at the beginning of the championship. Or how football fans were shocked, Morocco, the country of Africa who became the underdog was able to enter the semifinals. Being the first African country to penetrate the semifinals. Even though then lost to Croatia, Morocco has already won pride and honor with its surprises. Likewise Argentina. Perhaps Argentine supporters were very upset and pessimistic when at the beginning of the championship the champion team lost to Saudi Arabia. But who would have expected it to be at the end to become champions.

And maybe Qatar's 2022 World Cup event could be a lesson for Indonesia, which will host the U-20 World Cup next year. There are many lessons to be learned from Qatar. How can the Qatar government be firm with all the policies taken. Of course, we still remember the policy of banning LGBT campaigns. The firmness, which many have been reviled but respected by participants and other countries. Well, next year when hosting the U-20 World Cup, the question of firmness can be used as an example. Because everyone knows, 2023 is a political year. Ahead of simultaneous elections, of course, football events that become popular sports in the country are vulnerable to being infiltrated by political matters. Or not to be used as a campaign arena for one of the candidates or political parties. Hopefully everyone enjoys sports, especially football as entertainment. Sport event. Hopefully. (*)
