Poll, 70% Portugal fans want Ronaldo on the bench
Even Portuguese fans ‘unload’ Cristiano Ronaldo. The result of a survey launched by the sports newspaper A Bola is sensational, as it asked its readers a very simple question: should Cristiano Ronaldo still be a regular in the national team? Well, for 70% of Portuguese internet users, CR7 must go to the bench. Only 30%, therefore, the best scorer in the history of international football must continue to lead Portugal’s attack at the World Cup. On the other hand, A Bola supports his poll with Ronaldo’s unforgiving numbers in the world championship: in the first three games he has collected one goal, zero assists, two crosses made, few dribbles (three per game and only 50% successful) and an average of just 55% of all actions taken. Qatar’s Ronaldo is much more disconnected from the team and from the goal (0.66 shots on goal per game).
Mbappé in silence, that’s why he doesn’t speak
Who saw Kylian Mbappe? Actually: who heard it? Since the world cup started, the French star has never gone to a press conference. A tactical silence that has two reasons: to begin with, she doesn’t want her to ask him about her future, thus clouding the atmosphere within the French selection; the other is commercial. According to L’Équipe, he does not want to be associated with Budweiser, the main sponsor of the world championship in Qatar. The American brewery delivers the mvp award of the match and Mbappé hid the brand of beer every time he posed with the trophy. It is within its image rights policy not to advertise junk food, sports betting or alcoholic beverage brands. The PSG striker has no intention of holding press conferences at the World Cup. And the French Football Federation has decided to pay the fines that are imposed on players who refuse to speak after being named mvp of the match. Mbappé has already won the award twice.
Totti: “Woman referee at the World Cup must become normal”
“As always happens, there were some controversies before the start, but I can’t deny that I enjoyed watching the groups for this World Cup. I’m sorry that Italy isn’t there, but I’ve seen good things in terms of football. And Fifa must be recognized as football in recent years has reached a more global dimension as demonstrated, for example, by the qualification for the round of 16 of Asian and African teams”. He said it Francesco Totti talking about the World Cup in Qatar from Istanbul. The former Roma captain also commented on the debut of the French Frappart, the first female referee to officiate a match in the World Cup: “It’s important, I also say this as the father of a girl and a little girl who will be women tomorrow. But I hope sooner or later this is no longer news, that everything becomes normal”.
