World Cup’s are rare and special, that’s why they do amazingly well. Due to the iconic status of the tournament. It speaks to peoples imagination. It’s filled with wonder. That’s why it also makes a lot of money.
Okay lets do it every single year to rinse the money out of it. If it makes us so much money bags every 4 years, we should maximize those profits!!
Now the World Cup isn’t as special anymore and eventually won’t make as much money.
People have fully lost the plot with Messi comparisons
It’s like they already forgot what prime Messi was capable of
There’s not a single player in the world that back then and right now rivaled the quality of his first touch + dribble + passing + ball control + balance/agility/strength + vision + runs + pressing (yes prime Messi used to press, defend, track back and not just walk around) + assists + goals
Even if someone surpasses his goals and assists they’ll still have a tough time also rivalling the quality of his passing/touches/ball controll/dribbling. Haaland for example COULD rival/surpass his amount of goals. Assists and all those attributes? Nope. Same with Mbappé, same with Vini, same with Bellingham.
Messi also did it from the 2000s all the way into the 2020s. In 2009 I was saying ''if he could keep this up for at least 4 years he’s without a doubt the best ever. Look at us now. He went above and beyond. I swear a lot of people have really already forgotten what it was like pre-Messi. If a striker had a few seasons where he touched 30 goals people were praising them like crazy. Then Messi came around and ‘‘merely’’ scoring that amount would make him into a failure. It’s like Messi’s previous season where he played more like a playmaker and still scored 16 goals and gave 16 assists in Ligue 1. If Zidane used to have a season like that it would be seen as something incredible. While for him it’s been called a failure lol.
A lot of people will keep watching. But it would really be less special and less watched probably. Now every 4 years even a lot of Americans watch it and its something special. If its on tv each year, idk if they would care as much
