This is it!!! The 2022 World Cup Finals, the biggest game of them all, the mother of all matches, the climax to a month-long frenzy of football fun and fury! Between two of the best sides in the world, with two of the best players on each side, and with two of the most fanatical fan-following in the universe. Come one, come all!
It is Argentina versus France in a game that features 2 of the biggest stars of the game today. Argentina’s Lionel Messi vs France’s Kylian Mbappe. This generation’s best in football against today’s best. Head-to-head. This will be a sight to see. Messi’s skill against Mbappe’s speed; Messi’s guile against Mbappe’s grace. Experience against youth. Messi in the sunset of his glorious career, Mbappe in the sunrise of a beautiful one. And as fate would have it, both are co-leaders in the race to win the Golden Boot (most goals in the tournament) with 5 goals apiece in this tournament. Which would you rather watch? A golden sunset? Or a sunrise and the coming of a bright new day?
One of the most prestigious sporting event in the world, rivalling only the Olympics in glory and glam, the FIFA World Cup 2022, is now down to the Final Four. Played in the dazzling, awe-inspiring Qatar, there should be no more talks of how this kingdom won the controversial bid for this edition of the World Cup. No more complaints on the lack of beer in the stands, or other restrictions in this oasis in the desert. No more talks of rights or the lack thereof in the land. From hereon, let the show on the turf speak for itself, with all the drama, the excitement, the ooohs and the ahhhs as our last four gladiators do battle.
Brazil and Argentina. France and Portugal. These are 2 compelling dream match-ups that could whet the appetites of football fanatics the world over. Neymar meeting Messi. Mbappe facing Ronaldo. Now wouldn’t that be football’s greatest foursome come true? Who you got now?
On 25 August 2023, all eyes will be in Manila, Jakarta and Naha in Okinawa as the 3 cities co-host the biggest basketball extravaganza in the world, the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup. This will be the first time the World Cup will be hosted by multiple countries, namely: Philippines, Indonesia and Japan. With the introduction of a multi-country hosting scheme, the Asian tripartite won the hosting rights over the South American duo of Argentina and Uruguay in the bid conducted way back in December 2017.
The Jazz were jellin’ and jammin’ under the radar. They held the best record in the NBA at 10-3 despite a difficult schedule. With a coveted 10-3 mark, the Jazz were no longer regarded as bottom-packers and likely ‘tankers’. The Jazz officially became classified as a dangerous and legit threat. And other teams have started to prepare for them more seriously now.
Then came the debacles.
