Just next year! These three are expected to participate in the World Cup for the 6th time. Ronaldo wants to make a breakthrough and Messi hopes to defend his title

Four players completed their fifth World Cup in the Qatar World Cup, among which Mexican veteran Guardado has announced his retirement after the end of the season. At present, only three people still have the chance to participate in the US, Canada and Mexico World Cup and complete their sixth World Cup competition. These include Messi, the World Cup historical appearance king, Ronaldo, who scored goals in five consecutive World Cups, and Mexican goalkeeper Ochoa, who will participate in the World Cup for the 6th time in the 2026 World Cup. Let's wait and see.

Ochoa participated in the World Cup five times

Ochoa completed his fifth World Cup in the 2022 Qatar World Cup. The Mexican goalkeeper followed Mexico as early as the 2006 World Cup. Although Ochoa was both a substitute goalkeeper in the 2006 World Cup and the 2010 World Cup, he did not get a chance to play. However, in the 2014 Brazil World Cup, Ochoa, who has accumulated strength, ushered in his highlight moment. He performed phenomenally in that World Cup, especially when facing the host Brazil in the group stage, Ochoa received high and low blocks to ensure the goal was not lost, helping Mexico draw 0-0 with Brazil, and remained unbeaten in three games in the group stage, successfully qualifying. Facing the knockout stage in the Netherlands, although Ochoa still performed steadily, the gap in strength was too large, and the team eventually lost to the opponent and stopped in the top 16 of the World Cup. However, Ochoa's has conquered many fans. At the 2018 World Cup and the 2022 World Cup, Ochoa was the team's main goalkeeper and performed well in both games. Ochoa, who is currently 39 years old, is still one of the choices for the goalkeeper position of the Mexican national team, and he is also looking forward to being on the World Cup stage for the sixth time.

Robert C. Ronaldo is currently the only player in the history of the World Cup to score goals that have been won for five consecutive World Cups. The Portuguese scored a total of 8 goals in 22 World Cup games. Ronaldo made his World Cup debut in the 2006 World Cup. At that time, the 21-year-old Ronaldo scored his first goal in the group stage and followed Portugal to the semi-finals of the World Cup, and finally won the fourth place. This is also the best result that Ronaldo has achieved in the World Cup. Ronaldo scored a goal in the group stage facing North Korea in 2010, helping Portugal defeat North Korea 7-0. However, Portugal, led by Ronaldo, met the champion Spain in the first round of the knockout round, and unfortunately stopped in the top 16. Ronaldo scored a goal in the last round of the group stage in 2014, completing three consecutive World Cup goals, but Portugal missed the third place in the group. Ronaldo scored 4 goals in the 2018 World Cup and even scored a hat-trick in the group stage against Spain. However, Portugal was still out of the quarterfinals and Ronaldo missed the goal in the knockout round. Ronaldo scored a goal in the group in the 2022 World Cup, becoming the first player to score goals in five consecutive World Cups. Portugal finally stopped in the quarterfinals of this World Cup. For Ronaldo, who is in good health, the probability of participating in the 2026 World Cup is very high. Ronaldo may usher in his 6th World Cup next year, and strive to break through himself, get his first World Cup knockout goal, and launch another attack on the World Cup champion.

Messi participated in the World Cup five times, Argentina has confirmed to qualify in advance in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, and the football king Messi may usher in his sixth World Cup. Messi finally won the World Cup championship as he wished in the 2022 World Cup, making up for the regret of losing in the 2014 final. The 2026 World Cup may be the World Cup farewell match for the King of Football. Messi may be completed with his old opponent Cristiano Ronaldo and will achieve his sixth World Cup. Messi's World Cup journey began in 2006. Argentina reached the semi-finals in the 2006 World Cup. Messi, who made his World Cup debut, made 1 goal and 1 assist in three appearances in this World Cup. Argentina also stopped in the quarterfinals of 8 in the 2010 World Cup, while Messi, who attended all five games, did not score in this World Cup match. Messi led Argentina to the finals in the 2014 World Cup, but was eventually defeated by Germany. Messi played 7 times and contributed 4 goals and 1 assist, but unfortunately he was only one step away from the championship. Argentina lost to France in the first round of the group stage in 2018, ending in the round of 16. Messi contributed 1 goal and 2 assists in 4 games. In the 2022 World Cup, Messi finally realized his dream. With a loss to his opponent in the first round of the group stage, Argentina was ashamed and then successfully reached the final. He defeated France in the final in the penalty shootout and won the World Cup championship as he wished. Messi contributed 7 goals and 3 assists in this World Cup. Messi, who participated in the World Cup five times, finally won the championship and became the world cup historical appearance leader with 26 appearances. Messi, who is still continuing his career in the FA League, is still an indispensable core player of the Argentina national team. Although Messi, who is 37 years old, is no longer as brave as he used to be, we still look forward to seeing Messi and Ronaldo participate in the 6th World Cup next year and create World Cup history.
