And then there were two

-


Well, there can be no denying the obvious fact that this year’s Football World Cup has been a genuinely drama-filled and spectacular football feast.

 

Indeed, from tiny Cape Verde’s highly improbable, heroic qualification for the Round of 32 to the utterly mesmerizing football skills of Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham and the diminutive Argentinean magician, Lionel Messi, this has unmistakably been a World Cup for the ages.

 

Granted, there were some hugely debated controversies, such as the seemingly sky-high ticket prices to the USA’s rejection of requests rightfully made by African fans to enter America so that they could support their national football teams.

 

Despite that though, these contentious moves failed to put a dampener on the first rate, highest caliber of football that was on display throughout every stage of this massively exciting football championship.

 

Thus, as we await the grand finale of this competition tomorrow with breathless excitement, let us hope then that this year’s finalists, Spain and Argentina, provide us with a fitting end to what has been a magnificent football experience.

As for Arsenal, the Gunners have outstandingly picked up where they left off last season, which was clearly evident in their 4-0 rout of Dutch premier league table-toppers PSV Eindhoven. Thus, with both teams raring to go, it will be enormously fascinating to see which team ends up rubbing their hands with glee once the unfailingly engrossing duel has finished.         ...

Indeed, right from the get-go, the Gunners have been firing on all cylinders and they have picked up seven wins while just registering one defeat thus far this season. It is also crucial to note that the Gunners’ highly touted new Brazilian signing, Gabriel Jesus has been seemingly unstoppable in the Arsenal attack as the ex-Manchester City striker has firmly established himself as a thorn in the side of EPL defences. However, despite Arsenal’s sterling form, the Gunners are set to face a difficult test this weekend when they go up against struggling Liverpool in a potentially mouthwatering EPL clash on Sunday. It should be remembered that although Liverpool are presently going through a rocky patch, they remain a star-studded side tha...
