On the eve of the opening match of this year's World Cup, two legends of the soccer world, Mace and C Ronaldo, have teamed up to create a stunning advertisement in which they are engaged in a fierce battle on a chessboard. Based on their excellent performances in this year's tournament, Mays has the upper hand for the time being. In the Round of 16 match against Australia, Mays was not only honored as the best player of the tournament, but also surpassed Cronardo in the World Cup MVP and goal scoring categories. After the match, Mays exclaimed, "I'm happy to have accomplished a goal and be one step closer to that ultimate dream."
This is the 23rd game of Mays in the World Cup, and also the 8th time he was honored as the best player of the game, which breaks the record of 7 times MVP of the World Cup held by C Ronaldo. It is worth mentioning that the goal scored in this game is the 9th World Cup goal of his career, surpassing such soccer stars as Mana Donna and C Ronaldo, and only one goal short of the record of Argentina's World Cup "top scorer" Batistuta.
After the match, Mace said, "We cruised into a two-goal lead today and were firmly in control of the game, but Australia caused us problems in the final stages, and that's the beauty of the World Cup. I'm happy to have achieved a goal and taken another step towards the ultimate goal. We don't have much time to rest as we know that our next Round of 8 match against the Netherlands will be an extremely tight contest."
