The football world convened with a lot of excitement in Russia for a month of mouth-watering football. This world cup will go down in history as one of the greatest ever. Many records were broken, new ones were created, and also new stars were born.
The host, Russia, started the whole ordeal by beating Saudi Arabia 5-0 to become the second host nation to score so many goals in its opening match after Italy beat USA 7-1 in 1934. The team even surprised critics by reaching the quarter-finals.
Also, the runner-up, Croatia, managed to reach the final for the first time in its history, while England reached the semi-finals after 28 years. An infographic from Bettingsites that shows visual presentation of England’s defeat to Croatia marked their 100th competitive defeat.
There were also a couple of shocks, such as the early exit of the former World Cup winners and football giants Germany, and the same day knockout of two of the world’s greatest footballers – Messi and Ronaldo.
This has ended many fans’ dreams of ever seeing either one of them lifting the World Cup trophy, considering the fact they have come of age and may retire by the time Qatar 2022 comes around.
More so, the fact that they both failed to score in the round of 16 was quite disappointing.
On the brighter side, football fans saw some of the most impressive goals at this year’s World Cup.
Ronaldo’s hat-trick against Spain made him the oldest player to score one at the World Cup.

Kylian Mbappé came out of this tournament not only as a World Cup winner but also as the second youngest player to both score in the final and to score many goals (three) in the entire tournament. The last player to do this was Pelé who scored six goals for Brazil in 1958.
