Football fans around the globe will be left in tears after the FIFA World Cup 2018 when some of the biggest names in the game are expected to announce their retirement.
1. Cristiano Ronaldo
One of the best football players in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo once joked about how he wants to play till the age of 41. Next week he turns 37, putting him at his predicted retirement age at the time of the next World Cup. Could FIFA 2018 be his farewell tournament? Ronaldo, please don’t take us seriously.
2. Lionel Messi
Surprisingly, Argentina barely got through the qualifying stage to reach FIFA 2018. Although Messi lost a chance to take victory for his nation because of a missed penalty against Iceland, he still kept Argentina afloat. Ah, that’s okay, we believe even the best players can make mistakes.
3. Luis Suarez
Luis Suarez, the Uruguayan legend and one of the best strikers in the world is still going strong in spite of recent fitness issues. With great defence, attack and midfielders, Uruguay is one of the most balanced teams in this FIFA World Cup.
4. Thiago Silva
At 33 years of age, Brazilian defender Thiago Silva worked very hard and bounced back to get into the Brazil team under tremendous competition. He is now one of the top players in the world and has even been compared to the great Franco Baresi. This year Silva hope for a dream comeback in Russia.
5. Luka Modric
The master in mid-field and an unsung Real Madrid hero, Luka Modric might be playing his last World Cup for Croatia this year. Luka Modric has been leading the team and is an essential player for Croatia. He made a winning start for his team in the FIFA World Cup against Nigeria by his amazing penalty kick.
