Get ready for tears! The 2026 World Cup will be a farewell ceremony for Messi and Ronaldo to our youth

The 2026 US, Canada and Mexico World Cup will become the most emotional event in the history of modern football. The event, jointly hosted by three North American countries, not only set a precedent, but will also put an end to a glorious era - the last group of players on the Green Field who are regarded as "superstars" will complete their World Cup ending performance here.

For Argentina, this is undoubtedly the "final dance" of Messi's national team career. Since his debut in 2006 and his team to win the championship in 2022, his World Cup journey spans twenty years. Next year, he will wear a blue and white robe for the last time to complete his ultimate farewell to represent the national team.

Brazilian star Neymar also ushered in his last World Cup. Despite his outstanding talent, his national team history has always been accompanied by expectations and controversy. This will be his last chance to lead the team to compete for the sixth championship trophy. Modric and Perisic, the representatives of the Golden Generation of Croatia, will also say goodbye here. The runner-up miracle of the 2018 World Cup in Russia has become eternal, and their tenacity and leadership temperament are difficult to replicate.

Polish best scorer Lewandowski will usher in the final chapter of his national team's World Cup career. As a top striker of a generation, his image of supporting the team forward alone will become a memory after next year.

England captain and historical scorer king Harry Kane is expected to complete his final World Cup match. He represents an era full of potential but not yet fulfilled.

For the "Golden Generation" in Belgium, this will be the last competition in De Bruyne. With accurate passes like a scalpel, he tried to activate this team with outstanding talent but always a slight difference from his peak for the last time.

Dutch defender Van Dijk also ushered in the World Cup farewell battle. He represents the pinnacle of the defensive art of the Orange Legion, and his departure will mark the end of an era.

Colombia will bid farewell to midfielder J Ronaldo (James Rodriguez). He won the Golden Boot in 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and 2026 will be his last dance.

The most touching farewell may belong to Cristiano Ronaldo (C Ronaldo). The 41-year-old Portuguese superstar will compete in the World Cup for the sixth time and give all his love for his motherland. His departure symbolizes the end of an individual heroic football era.

This is not only a competition, but also a football epic that spans twenty years to usher in the final chapter. What we are about to say goodbye is not only a group of players, but also a football aesthetic, a collective memory and an irreplicable legendary era. In 2026, let us witness this historic farewell with applause and respect in the North American continent.
