rebelliousfeminist974 said:


Portugal have named a 27-player preliminary squad for the World Cup, with Cristiano Ronaldo named in the playing list for a record sixth World Cup campaign. Four keepers are named as part of the playing list which is largely as expected.

Portugese supporters are confident its their breakthrough WC win.

Messi fan? /s

In all seriousness it’s hard to argue that he starts for Portugal. One of the greatest of all time and his generation paved the way for the next one which continues to produce great talents, and those great talents probably get in over him given his age and the fact that he plays in the SPL. He’ll surely get minutes though.

Leave the football, before the football leaves you.

yer tend to agree B but its a double edged sword with a player of that stature.
Same applies for Messi - 38yrs.
Both NT's can't let go, match winners, that moment when in dire need type of thought process.

Port as you mentioned play better without him, DH Bruno, all the years I watch he isn't like himself when CR is on.
CR has to be the 'man" focus, whereas Bruno could be but has to let CR rule.
Spouse its the final handing over of the reign.

2026 World Cup: Empty rooms & Fifa cancellations - US hotels fear washout

The 2026 Fifa World Cup was supposed to provide a tourism boom for the United States, but now the fear is that may never materialise.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

The article states what I'd anticipated. Many fans staying away from the city at more affordable, often private accommodation. 300 a night in Boston can get stuffed as that's way too much if you're staying 7 nights.

These lower rates may increase general tourism anyway. Flights to the USA have been much lower and a bargain for international NFL fans.
 
Saudi Arabia Cape Verde tickets reselling for $8.

The withholding of tickets to create a rush is disgraceful. Sure, some game are in top demand but many were overinflated where 400 was the norm but now they're being sold for 150.

Australia's defence is better. That is a garbage defence with mistake ridden players all over. Tah and Schlotterbeck are stumblers while Rüdiger has a massive chip on his shoulder.

Kimmich and his small man syndrome will unsettle the squad again. 2 group exits should tell you something.

Midfield is sensible enough while the attack is very good.
 


Egypt have named their 27-player preliminary list for the World Cup, with Mo Salah set to captain the side throughout their World Cup campaign. Nantes forward Mostafa Mohamed is left out of the squad and one player will be culled from the playing list following a friendly against Russia in Cairo on Thursday, May 28th local time to reduce the squad to the FIFA-mandated 26 players.
