The World Cup will go on without two of the world's best players. Today France eliminated Argentina with a 4-3 victory to send Messi home. Uruguay defeated Portugal 2-1 to send Ronaldo home.
The two great players started the World Cup on different notes. Messi had struggled early on which led to a draw and a loss and doubts about qualifying. Ronaldo started his World Cup off with an unforgettable hat trick against Spain in a 3-3 draw. Despite the different starts, they were both sent home today.
This was the first day of the Knockout Round and we have 3 more days to come before the final 8 will be set. Tomorrow's matches start with Spain vs Russia and ends with Croatia vs Denmark. There is plenty more good football to look forward to.
Thanks for reading and enjoy the World Cup!
