The Qatar World Cup has reached the final stages. The first match between Brazil and Croatia will take place when the quarter-final match starts today.
FIFA shared a poster on its official social media page featuring all the star players from the eight teams that reached the quarter-finals. The pictures are arranged according to the competition of the team and their opponents who will face each other in the quarters.
Messi, Neymar and Mbappa are all featured on the poster, but Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo is absent. Many fans have commented below the FIFA post asking where Ronaldo is. A number of protest comments can also be seen below the post.
FIFA has prepared very interesting cartoon images of each team’s players eating popcorn and telling jokes while sitting in the theater. French star Kylian Mbappé and England captain Harry Kane can be seen happily talking in the front row.

The fact that Ronaldo was not included in this poster led to a lot of criticism from fans. Some said this was a sign that Ronaldo will be on the bench in the quarter finals.
The player was on the bench in the pre-quarter match against Switzerland. Ronaldo was only brought on in the last minute of the second half of the game.
The fans noted that it was a very painful sight for a legendary player like Ronaldo, who has proven his talent and ability, to be out of shape and to be on the bench in a tournament like the World Cup.
