The FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar has been a tournament of many firsts. Middle East's first World Cup tournament stood up to its expectations and delivered some of the best moments in World Cup history.
With numerous records broken along the way, the tournament witnessed some magical performances from the footballing greats and upcoming talents in the sport.
Here are some of the best moments of the FIFA World Cup 2022 -
<ul>
<li>Argentina downed by an unexpected foe:&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
Entering the tournament as the favourites to lift the title, Argentina were shocked by a spirited Saudi Arabia side in their opening Group C encounter, falling to a 2-1 defeat which also ended Argentina's 36-game unbeaten streak.
Despite Messi opening the scoring for the Albiceleste, 2 quickfire goals by The Falcons gave us the first upset of the tournament.
<ul>
<li>Japan's inspiring performance against World Cup heavyweights</li>
</ul>
Germany were hoping to make it past the group stages after the disappointment of 2018, but the Blue Samurai proved to be a different and lethal challenge to Die Mannschaft which saw them beat the 2014 Champions 2-1 at the end. Substitutes Doan and Asano scored two 2nd half goals to shock the Germans in their Group E opening encounter.&nbsp;
The Germans could never recover after the defeat and were knocked out of the group stages for the 2nd time in a row.
The Blue Samurai then also went on to register another upset in the World Cup by beating 2010 champions Spain 2-1 in their last group game encounter.
<ul>
<li>Tunisia defeating the Defending champions</li>
</ul>
With France already through to the knockout stages after back-to-back wins in their opening 2 encounters, Didier Deschamps made 9 changes against Tunisia in the 3rd match.&nbsp;
Turns out, underestimating the Carthage Eagles was a big mistake as the Tunisians went on to beat Les Bleus 1-0 courtesy of a Wahbi Khazri goal. This was Tunisia's first victory over France in the World Cup in over 50 years.
<ul>
<li>Morocco - The Dark horses of the World Cup</li>
</ul>
Starting their 2022 World Cup campaign in Group F alongside 2018 runners-up Croatia and Belgium, the Atlas Lions were not expected to make it through to the next round. However, Walid Regragui's men set the tone for their tournament when they remained unbeaten in the group stage and produced an upset by beating the golden generation of Belgium 2-0 in their 2nd game. The Atlas Lions eventually finished top of the table, having not conceded a goal from an opposition player in the group.
Qualifying for the next round as table toppers, the fairytale run didn't end early as there was more to this Moroccan side than anybody had ever imagined. The Round of 16 showed the resilient side of the Atlas Lions who managed to take heavyweights Spain to penalties and eventually emerged as 3-0 winners in the end.
The surprising momentum saw them get the better of Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal 1-0 in the quarters as well to become the first-ever African nation to play in the World Cup semis
However, every good thing comes to an end as the fairytale run ended in the last 4 courtesy of a 2-0 defeat to defending champions France.
<ul>
<li>A finale full of twists and turns</li>
</ul>
After 63 exciting and eventful games, the final between Lionel Messi's Argentina and the defending champions France lived up to everyone's expectation. It was a Lionel Messi vs Kylian Mbappe affair which saw La Pulga scoring a brace while the 23-year-old became the first player ever to score a hattrick in the World Cup final.
With the score on 3-3 after an exhilerating 120 minutes of football, it was Argentina who won the penalty shootout 4-2 courtesy of an Emiliano Martinez save which helped in fulfilling Messi's lifelong dream of lifting the World Cup.
This World Cup had something special to it, and saw many legends like Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Suarez and Luka Modric bid farewell to the quadrennial tournament as well which made it even more memorable for fans all over the world.

The word Argentina and Lionel Messi go hand in hand whenever football comes into mind. Argentina's all-time top scorer has won almost everything the game of football has to offer as he nears the end of his illustrious career. 

FIFA World Cup 2022: Can magical Messi perform one last trick for Argentina?

It's the perfect setting for Lionel Messi to win the #FIFAWorldCup title, for it will be a fairytale like none other if Messi lifts the crown. Here's why the biggest spotlight will be on one man and one man alone on Sunday.

#Messi #Qatar2022


Winning the biggest tournament in world football on Sunday will put his name right on top of the 'GOAT' debate after his counterpart Cristiano Ronaldo bowed out of the tournament in the quarter-finals.

The words Argentina and Lionel Messi go hand-in-hand whenever football comes to mind. Argentina's all-time top scorer has won almost everything the game of football has to offer.
However, there's one trophy he hasn't been able to lay his hands on - the FIFA World Cup. And he has already announced that the final on Sunday will be his last World Cup game, his last dance.
Leading his team by example, the 35-year-old has managed to take Argentina into the final showdown where they will be facing defending champions France.
Winning the quadrennial tournament this year will be a fairytale end to a tumultuous international career, but as they say, all's well that ends well.
It will be a dream come true, one that started in his childhood and reached its fever pitch ever since he donned the famous sky blue and white shirt.
If losing to Germany in the 2014 World Cup final wasn't enough, there was more heartbreak in store, one that left Messi in tears at the 2016 Copa America final where he missed a crucial spot-kick in the penalty shootout against Chile that cost Argentina the title. Despair followed and Messi, in fact, announced he'll be retiring from international football right after the game.
Cristiano Ronaldo winning the Euros with Portugal in 2016 didn't make it any easier for the Argentine as the footballing world started disregarding the 7 Ballon D'or that he won, calling CR7 the GOAT due to his continental achievement. However, La Pulga decided to give it yet another go and came out of retirement to give Argentina its first Copa America title since 1993, the first continental championship in 28 years.
Having won an impressive 41 career titles so far, Messi doesn't need to prove to the world what a great player he is. However, winning the biggest tournament in world football on Sunday will put an end to the 'GOAT' debate once and for all.

&ldquo;Having a space like this is a respite. It&rsquo;s like a warm hug,&rdquo; said Raana Smith, co-founder of Sensory Souk, a Doha-based company that staffs the sensory rooms.
&ldquo;Everybody should have the right and the opportunity to experience football,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;If someone has limited speech, limited mobility, that shouldn&rsquo;t be a barrier ever to experience something as wonderful and as crowd-pleasing.&rdquo; she further added.
The fans were provided with dim-lit rooms that included soft cushions, soothing colorful lights and rising bubble tubes along with boards mounted on walls that provided different textures that helped the fans calm down and refocus.

Defending Champions France set up a mouth-watering finale with Argentina with a 2-0 win against Morocco in the second semi-final. 5 minutes is all it took for France to take the lead. While Kylian Mbappe&rsquo;s twin strikes were blocked, the rebound from his second effort fell in the path of defender Theo Hernandez, who fired his side in front with a superb close-range strike. Morocco clawed their way back into the game as the half progressed, ending the first 45 with a flurry of chances. In the second half, the African nation laid siege to France&rsquo;s goal but somehow failed to find the right finish. Chances came one after the other but a goal eluded the Atlas Lions. And it was game, set and match when substitute Randal Kolo Muani doubled the lead in the 79th minute after some impressive footwork from Mbappe in the box. France are now on the cusp of becoming the third team in history to successfully defend their World Cup title, but magical Messi and Argentina stand in their way. For Morocco, they bow out but not before winning hearts, for they surely have been the team of the tournament.
