The World Cup will soon come to a close. As a longstanding soccer tournament, it has seen the rise and fall of many soccer stars and national teams.
Historically, the most frequent winners were Brazil, Italy, and Germany. However, in the Russia 2018 World Cup, many strong teams, such as Germany and Argentina, were eliminated in the earlier stages of the tournament. While many people were disappointed by their performance, other teams, like Croatia, surprised their supporters by entering the semifinals.
Rising stars, like Neymar and Mbappé, have also received public attention, bringing additional excitement to fans. Today, in the heat of the World Cup, CGTN asks Chinese soccer fans what they think about the global event.
