No doubt a way will be found for him to win the world cup too.
Cristiano Ronaldo is free to play at the 2026 World Cup.

FIFA needed Lionel Messi at the Club World Cup last summer, so a tenuous way of ensuring Inter Miami qualified was found.

In the same way, a Ronaldo-less tournament next summer simply will not do.

One of my favourite ever Manchester United goals. In a preseason friendly vs Juventus in 2003. The finish is deadly but the pass from Veron - oof 🤌🏽🤌🏽

This is because of the reservoir effect, in which aquatic animals consume or make shells from ancient carbon from the deep ocean or from old calcium carbonate, making their own carbon seem older than it really is. This old carbon then has a similar effect on the bones of whoever eats it.

On the occasion of the 15th-year reissue of my first book, I rambled a little on my Substack about its fortuitous backstory:

I love learning something new, and, of course, music history is not an exception.

I'd like to dive into the topic of electric guitar history. The topic for today is Rickenbacker Frying Pan.

To those of you who are slating Sesko, who’s been with us for four months…
He scored 2 PL goals, the mighty Salah has 4. And Ekitike has 3. Just a little perspective on things.

Give the lad some time before crushing his spirit.

Matthijs de Ligt has quietly been emerging as one of Manchester United’s most important players.

Gotta respect that.
Wrexham chief executive Michael Williamson has claimed Christian Eriksen was initially wary of an approach from the club in the summer because he did not want to appear in their documentary series.
