End of Cup Reflection

This was a great World Cup to watch. Many goal records were set, broken or both. The games, the upsets and the drama made it a Cup that even non-soccer fans had to at least check out. As an Argentina fan, I am ecstatic that they won, but France will definitely come to the next World Cup with a goal: to win the World Cup again. 

The final ceremony had many emotions as Argentina’s players, fans and entire country were cheering for their win and their captain, Lionel Messi, who finally got his World Cup trophy. France was absolutely devastated with the loss. You could see the pain on Mbappé’s face. It hung on despite him winning the Golden Boot for having the most goals in the tournament: eight.

Luckily for a majority of our readers, the United States, Canada and Mexico are hosting the men’s World Cup in 2026. This will be the third time that the United States hosts, the second time for Mexico and a first for Canada, although Canada did host the women’s World Cup in 2015. I plan to watch some games and especially the final.

I hope this article got you slightly hooked and informed about the World Cup. Club soccer is ongoing. If you are interested in learning more, try keeping up with the British Premier League, German Bundesliga, Spanish La Liga and American Major League Soccer, and watch for international games and the World Cup qualifiers for 2026. With all that, this series of the World Cup comes to a close. Thanks for reading.
