During the FIFA World Cup 2022, the senior national teams of member associations of FIFA are competing for the title.
Lionel Messi
Having never won a FIFA World Cup, Argentina’s Lionel Messi has set his sights on winning one in Qatar next month. And if he succeeds, it will be his last major international tournament.
The 35-year-old is one of the most celebrated players in world football, and it is no surprise that he was invited to be a global brand ambassador for the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. The Argentine star has been a fixture in the country’s national side since he was a teenager. His talent and leadership have inspired many of Argentina’s recent victories.
Messi hasn’t won a World Cup, but he has played in four final tournaments, scoring six goals in the process. He has also helped his country win the Copa America, which was held in Brazil last year.
The World Cup is Argentina’s first major tournament in four years, and the Argentines have been in great form since winning the Copa America last year. They’ve lost just once in their last 35 matches and will play Mexico and Saudi Arabia in Group C. They’ll also play Poland on the 1st of December.
Manuel Neuer
Having played in three World Cups, Manuel Neuer is considered one of the best goalkeepers of all time. He has been compared to Russian goalkeeper Lev Yashin. And although he’s 35 years old, he’s a contender for the best goalkeeper in the world.
Neuer has been a member of Germany’s national team since 2009. He went on to win multiple titles with Bayern Munich.
The keeper has been in the news lately due to an injury. He has missed five games for Bayern Munich this season but hopes to be back in time for the World Cup. He is expected to be in the squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Although Neuer is injured, he has said that he wants to play two more Bundesliga games before the World Cup. In addition, he wants to be part of Germany’s 2022 World Cup team.
Luka Modric
Having played for the Croatian national team for more than sixteen years, Luka Modric is a player who will be remembered for his achievements in the international game. He was awarded the Golden Ball for the Best Player at the World Cup in Russia and won the Ballon d’Or for the best player in the world in 2018.
The 37-year-old midfielder has been a key player for Real Madrid since he joined in September 2015. He helped the club to win both La Liga and the Champions League last season.
Thiago Silva
Despite the fact that Brazil is currently on international duty, Thiago Silva is likely to be their captain for the FIFA World Cup 2022. Silva’s stats are in and he will be a big part of Brazil’s central defense. He has already kept four clean sheets this season and will be tested by opponents in the finals.
There are several reasons for Thiago Silva to be the best player in Brazil. His fitness has impressed Brazil’s coaching staff. He can read a game and position himself well. His ability to cover flanks could be crucial to Brazil’s success in the World Cup.
He was a key member of Brazil’s backline at the World Cup. His ability to read a game is also important to Brazil’s success.
Karim Benzema
During his career, Karim Benzema has remained an integral part of the Real Madrid attack. The French striker has won 23 trophies with the Spanish giants. The 29-year-old is regarded as one of the best strikers in the world.
As a member of France’s 2022 World Cup squad, Karim Benzema is expected to play a key role in the country’s success in the tournament. The striker has 97 caps to his name and is one of the most experienced players in the squad.
Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappe will form the strongest attack in Qatar. The pair will compete in the first group games against Australia and Tunisia on November 22 and 30, respectively. They are expected to compete in early fixtures, but Benzema will have to perform well to ensure France makes it to the quarter-finals.
Hugo Lloris
Defending champions France are about to embark on their quest to defend their title in the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. The team will face Australia in their first match on 22 November. They also face Tunisia and Denmark in Group D. They will also have their last training camp before the tournament begins.
The France federation’s president Noel Le Graet has said that players have been put under pressure to make statements on controversial matters. He said that players should focus on what they can do on the pitch instead of attempting to push a political message.
FIFA chiefs have encouraged federations to keep their focus on football and ignore the politics of Qatar. They have also asked their officials to avoid making statements that could be seen as an endorsement of Qatar.
Luis Suarez
During his career, Luis Suarez has been involved in four World Cups. He is a member of the Uruguay national team and is expected to play in the tournament in Qatar. He has played for Nacional in the South American country.
Luis Suarez is the captain of the Uruguay team. He has made his way to the final list of players for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

He has also been part of Uruguay’s team in the 2010 World Cup. He scored four goals in the 4-0 win over Chile. Uruguay reached the semifinals in 2010 and reached the quarterfinals in Russia last year.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Ronaldo is on track to break the record for most World Cup goals, which was previously held by Eusebio. The former Real Madrid forward has already scored three goals against Spain in the group stage, and could extend that record at the 2022 tournament if Portugal advances to the quarterfinals. Currently, Ronaldo has 11 World Cup goals, two fewer than Eusebio’s record of seven in 1974.
Cristiano Ronaldo is 35 years old and will be 37 at the time of the World Cup, so it is important for him to stay fit. While most footballers slow down in their mid-twenties, Ronaldo has proven that he can still play at the top level. He has guided Portugal to two international trophies and two UEFA Nations League triumphs, but the World Cup is his goal.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the leading international goal scorer with 117 goals from 191 games. He is on course to surpass Iranian striker Ali Daei in 2021 to become the leading international goalscorer. He has also scored more goals for Portugal than any other player.
Robert Lewandowski
Robert Lewandowski, who joined Barcelona from Bayern Munich in the summer, has been in brilliant form since arriving at the Nou Camp. The striker has scored 13 goals and provided four assists in 14 La Liga games. His recent form has contributed to Barcelona’s top-four position in the Spanish league. As a World Cup player, Lewandowski will be hoping to improve on his four goals from the last World Cup in Russia. Lewandowski and Antoine Griezmann, both Frenchmen, are both vying for more glory at the tournament.
Currently, Lewandowski has 134 international caps and 76 goals for his country. This makes him the leading scorer for Poland. His record is also equaled by Cristiano Ronaldo, who set it a few days ago. Lewandowski has been in fantastic form at the club level, and his goal tally this season has seen him shortlisted for the FIFA FIFPro World XI.
Gareth Bale
During his glittering career, Gareth Bale has been an inspirational leader for Wales and has helped the nation to reach the finals of the FIFA World Cup. Although he has been limited to a handful of matches in his last two seasons in the Premier League, he has had the opportunity to show off his many talents. He is the all-time leading scorer for Wales and has been a major player in the team’s recent successes.
Bale’s most significant success came during his time at Real Madrid, where he won a staggering 19 major trophies. He was also a major part of the side’s successful campaigns at the 2014 and 2016 European Championships.
However, in recent years, Bale has suffered from a number of injuries and limited playing time. He has made just two starts for Los Angeles FC this season. He was a substitute in the MLS Cup Final, which LAFC won.
