FIFA World Cup 2018: 5 Rivalries to keep an eye out for at the tournament 

Final Draw for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia
There will be some big rivalries to watch out for in the World Cup this year

#1 Messi vs Ronaldo

Argentina v Portugal - International Friendly
Their last World Cup?

This is one clash the world would love to see. On what could be their last World Cup appearance, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo would both love to win the tournament for the first time.

Two of the best players on the planet right now, they have shared all the individual awards in the recent years.

They have won everything there is to win, individually and with their respective clubs. Only one trophy remains - the World Cup. The winner takes it all and possibly puts an end to the debate of who is better?

Neither of them is favourites in this tournament, but a potential clash between these two could happen in the Quarter-Finals. This would be one game you cannot miss!
