The World Cup Looks a Tournament Too Far For Some Ageing Stars
Despite the hype surrounding the World Cup in Qatar, it will be a difficult tournament for some of the world's best footballers to win. Some will be too old to play in the World Cup and others will be in the prime of their career. Here are a few players to keep an eye out for in the tournament.
Defending champions France have some young players that will be looking to make an impression in Qatar. Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe is poised to play a huge role in France's success. He has been improving in recent seasons and has already made a name for himself. Pape Matar Sarr, who has played for Metz, will have his chance to prove his mettle at a major international competition.
The Netherlands have a strong defensive line and will be aiming to prove that they are among the best teams in the world. Their midfield, led by Kevin De Bruyne, will also play a vital role. The Belgians will need to defeat Croatia to get into the knockout stages. They lost their final qualifier to Morocco, but Wojciech Szczesny kept the game within a comfortable margin. The Belgians may also be able to beat Croatia. The Netherlands are a team that will not be overlooked in the World Cup.

The most expensive footballer in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo, is probably the best-known player in the world. He is the reigning Champions League winner and he has a knack for scoring stunning goals. His goal celebrations are anime-like, and he has the best goal-scoring record in Champions League history. He is also a very conscious and intelligent player. It is likely that he will bow out of the World Cup at the same time as Messi.
Uruguay's Rodrigo Bentancur and Diego Godin have also impressed. The duo have combined for two goals in their last two matches. Uruguay have a strong, attacking side and a good centre-back pairing. They should be fine in the group stages. But they could be embarrassed by any team.
Aside from Messi and Ronaldo, there are plenty of other aging stars who will be making an impact in Qatar. Several of them will be playing their final World Cup, while others will be looking to prove that they were the best players in their respective generations.
The youngest player to ever represent Germany in a World Cup is Jamal Musiala, who joined Bayern Munich in his mid-teens. He has already scored 15 goals in his first 14 Bundesliga matches this season and has a chance to make an impact in Qatar. The 22-year-old could be in danger of elimination if Germany loses to Costa Rica in its second match.
The oldest player in the World Cup is Vinicius Jr., a Brazilian who has established himself as a key player for Real Madrid in the last two years. He will be looking to make a breakthrough at the World Cup. He could challenge South Korea's Son Heung-min.
