Among the greatest of his era, Messi is a versatile, intelligent, and highly skilled player who is still young.

Brazil striker Ronaldo scored eight goals at the World Cup

At the time of the World Cup, he was considered the best player in the world. But he suffered several severe injuries throughout his career. He stayed committed to the team despite the challenges. He played his final game for Brazil in June 2011.

However, his career had a bumpy ride. After a knee injury, he missed two years of competitive play. A thyroid condition had also plagued him.

Then, he ruptured his right knee tendon in 1999. He subsequently had to undergo two operations. After his return to the Brazil lineup, he scored his first goal in a match against the United States. Afterward, he was named player of the tournament.

Lusail Iconic Stadium will host the most games of the 2022 World Cup

The 2022 FIFA Men's World Cup is set to kick off on November 20, with a match between Ecuador and hosts Qatar. In addition to the games, the opening ceremony will take place at the Al Bayt Stadium. This stadium is the largest in the country, with a capacity of 80,000. It will also be the venue for the World Cup final.

The stadium was built using sustainable construction practices. It is estimated that more than 40% of the water used during the construction of the stadium was recycled. As a result, it conserved 40% more water than other similar projects. This will also help keep the stadium cool, even in the hottest summers.

The sails of a traditional dhow boat inspire the exterior of the Lusail Iconic Stadium. It also features a membrane shaped like a bird's eye ornament. The roof is made from polytetrafluoroethylene, which keeps the temperature low.

Argentina take 20% of penalties at the 2022 World Cup
