It Begins Today ( The Fifa 2022 World Cup In Qatar)
The long wait is over, it is finally here, the FIFA World Cup 2022 will kick off today with its host Qatar playing the first match of the tournament against South America's own Ecuador. The world cup is the biggest tournament in the history of sports and football worldwide, this tournament brings everyone from different parts of the world together to enjoy the sport.
My country Nigeria did not qualify for this year's world cup tournament, we lost our spot in the world cup when our brother neighboring country won by a goal at our home stadium. It was not a good day for the country, we love football more than anything and it was sad for the national team to lose their spot but anyway it is not over yet we just have to wait for another four years to qualify for the world cup🥲.
In this year's world cup, FC Barcelona is the only club to have the highest number of players from a club representing their nation in Qatar for the world cup. As a Barca fan, it was a joy to see my player's country recognize their talent.

The country I will be supporting in the world cup will be Argentina, why? Because of Messi. This world cup might be the last for Messi as he approaches the end of his footballing career and I feel he deserves to take home the world cup trophy this year. Messi came close to winning the world cup in 2014 in a final between Argentina and Germany but lost by a goal to the German side. It was heartbreaking and I have seen a lot of pictures of Messi staring at the World cup when he was given his silver medal.
Messi is the greatest of all time to me but as Jamie Carragher said, " For me, Messi is the greatest footballer of all time but I want him to win the world cup title because that will officially cement him there as the greatest of all time". Argentina's form has been good, the team has not lost a match since July 3rd, 2019 for about three years and a half months.
Argentina is ready for the tournament and they have what it takes to win the competition. I will be keeping my eyes on the team during the tournament. So guys I hope you are ready for the world cup as I am, and once again thanks for your support, have a nice day.
Yes it's started, started with a big big opening ceremony 🥳
It was huge my brother.
Indeed!
