All Eyes on Qatar

In a mere matter of days, 32 nations will converge on Qatar to take part in the grandest sporting championship in the globe, the quadrennial Football World Cup.

Indeed, the anticipation of the showpiece event is such that it has reached fever-pitch levels, probably because there is arguably an unprecedented abundance of talented attacking players who will be strutting their stuff on football’s biggest stage.

Certainly, two ageing attacking maestros who will be the magnet for massive attention are Argentinian football wizard, Lionel Messi and the ever deadly Portuguese marksman Cristiano Ronaldo.

Both icons are unarguably in the twilight of their glittering careers and it will be distinctly fascinating to see whether one of them can cap off their record-breaking careers by clinching the world cup trophy.

Beyond Messi and Ronaldo though, there are other excitingly potent attacking marvels, whose inimitable skills should light up the competition.

These include the creative Belgian playmaker Kevin de Bruyne, the predatory English goal-poacher Harry Kane, the Gallic virtuoso Kylian Mbappe and of course the Brazilian phenomenon Neymar, among many others.

Thus, it is expected that given the surfeit of unique attacking talents on offer, the 2022 Qatar world cup ought to be an enthralling competition that lingers long in the memory.
