Everyone knows this phrase that the show must go on, though the two-star footballers are knocked out of the world cup still the world cup has to go on. On July 15 the trophy will be handed to the winning team. The world cup has lost two of its shining stars, some people might be relieved that the event would henceforth be more about teams than individuals. 

The two-star footballers and the legends of football who have won the world player of the year award five times each in the last 10 years could not rise to the occasion in the World Cup certainly dents their claims to sit alongside Pele, Diego Maradona and Zinedine Zidane in the pantheon of football immortals.

There is no doubt that the World Cup here has lost a bit of sheen after the exit of the two megastars, but the show must go on because the trophy on July 15 will be given to the best team, not to the best player.

We know that the fans of the two are upset but though both of them will not be a part of the finale and the trophy will not be handled to any of them but they have already won hearts of many.
