Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo once again grabbed headlines as he delivered a dramatic brace for Al-Nassr against Al Fayha in Riyadh on Saturday, helping his club retain the top spot in the Saudi Pro League table and maintain their unbeaten run in the 2025-26 season. The match seemed headed for disappointment after Al Fayha scored early, but Ronaldo clinically netted the equalizer in the 37th minute and sealed victory with a cool penalty deep into added time. The spectacle continued after the final whistle when the Portuguese legend treated fans to a joyful Ardah dance right on the pitch, a moment widely shared across social media platforms and featured by the official Saudi Pro League and sports sites globally.With these two goals, Ronaldo's professional tally soared to an astonishing 952, a number unmatched by any player in football history. Just last week, he had reached the unprecedented milestone of 950 goals – setting records not only as Al-Nassr's icon but also as the highest scorer in FIFA World Cup qualifiers. His next ambition, announced in multiple media interviews, is to crack the mythical 1,000-goal mark before ending his career.On the business front, Bloomberg and other financial outlets are reporting Ronaldo's net worth at a staggering 1.4 billion dollars, officially making him football's first billionaire according to the latest Bloomberg Billionaires Index. His Saudi contract now reportedly exceeds 400 million dollars a year, complemented by a portfolio of high-profile endorsements ranging from Nike's lifetime deal to multimillion-dollar partnerships with Armani, TAG Heuer, Binance, and Herbalife. Posts from his Instagram, which boasts over 600 million followers, are estimated to earn him 2 million dollars each, cementing his place as the highest-paid athlete online.The CR7 brand, visible across luxury clothing, fragrances, gyms, hotels, and various investment ventures, continues to expand. Digital sleuths have picked up rumors — still unconfirmed — of new CR7 fitness locations and possible additional Pestana CR7 hotels coming soon. Family life also remains a focus on social channels, with Georgina Rodriguez featured in joint lifestyle posts and international gossip columns crowning them a billion-dollar power couple, balancing football stardom and business savvy.Looking toward 2026, Ronaldo is set to captain Portugal in the FIFA World Cup's expanded edition across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada — arguably one last campaign to add another highlight to his storied career. On social media, fan accounts buzz daily with praise and speculation, from his goal chase and luxurious travels to his next entrepreneurial steps or possible involvement in football ownership and sports documentaries. For now, Ronaldo's continued ability to produce game-winning moments and remain culturally relevant only reinforces his legacy as a footballer and global icon.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

pWotD Episode 3103: Women's Cricket World Cup Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 366,220 views on Thursday, 30 October 2025 our article of the day is Women's Cricket World Cup.The ICC Women's Cricket World Cup is the quadrennial international championship of the One Day International format with 50 overs per team. It is organised by the International Cricket Council. Until 2005, when the two organisations merged, it was administered by a separate body, the International Women's Cricket Council. The first World Cup was held in England in 1973, two years before the inaugural men's tournament. The event's early years were marked by funding difficulties, which meant several teams had to decline invitations to compete and caused gaps of up to six years between tournaments. However, since 2005, World Cups have been hosted at regular four-year intervals.Qualification for the World Cup is through the ICC Women's Championship and the World Cup Qualifier. The composition of the tournament is extremely conservative – no new teams have debuted in the tournament since 1997, and since 2000 the number of teams in the World Cup has been fixed at eight. However, in March 2021, the ICC revealed that the tournament would expand to 10 teams from the 2029 edition. The 1997 edition was contested by a record eleven teams, the most in a single tournament to date.The twelve World Cups played to date have been held in five countries, with India and England having hosted the event three times. Australia is the most successful team, having won seven titles and failing to make the final on only three occasions. England (four titles) and New Zealand (one title) are the only other teams to have won the event, while India (twice) and the West Indies (once) have each reached the final without going on to win.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:17 UTC on Friday, 31 October 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Women's Cricket World Cup on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Russell.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 8ú lá de mí Dheireadh Fómhair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1982 tháinig sé amach go raibh Éire I ngéarchéim eacnamaíochta mór agus de bharr sin bhí a lán daoine an smaoineamh chun dul ar imirce go dtí an Astráil. I 2004 dúradh go mbeadh níos mó ná 35 míle duine chun dul chuig Páras go dtí an cluiche cáilithe Corn Domhanda a fheiceáil d'Éire. I 2008 tháinig sé amach go ngearr siad an buiséad don Ospidéal san Aonach Urmhumhan de 2 milliúin euro agus de bharr sin ghearr siad siar ar an méid daoine a raibh ag obair in A&E. An plean fadtéarmach ná chun altraí amháin a bheith ag obair in A&E agus chun na seirbhísí diagnóiseach a fheabhsú. Dúirt siad nach mbeadh buiséad ann chun an dhá cheann a dhéanamh agus de bharr gearr siad siar ar na seirbhísí A&E. I 2011 tháinig sé amach go raibh comhlacht I nDurlas ag iarradh níos mó daoine a fhostú – timpeall 90 duine agus dúradh go mbeidís ag smaoineamh ar athlonnú chuig an Bhreatain chun na conradh a choimeád mar ní raibh siad ábalta daoine a fhostú in Éirinn. Bhí A.R.E suite san Eastát Tionsclaíochta Baile an Airsirigh taobh amuigh den bhaile. Dúradh go raibh sé an comhlacht a mhéadaigh is tapúla sa réigiúin ag an am cé gur oscail siad I 2010. Sin Eric Prydz le Call On Me – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2004. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 2006 shroich The Killers uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain lena halbam Sam's Town. D'fhan siad ann ar feadh trí sheachtain. Bhí sé a dara halbam a tháinig siad amach leis agus shroich sé uimhir a 2 I Meiriceá. I 2007 ainmníodh na Artic Monkeys mar an banna cheol is fearr sa domhain ag na Gradam Q a raibh I Londain. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Matt Damon I Meiriceá I 1970 agus rugadh amhranaí Bruno Mars I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1985 agus seo chuid de amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 8th of October, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1982: It was reported that Ireland's deep economic crisis has brought about a new wave of interest in emigration to Australia 2004: Over 35,000 fans were esitmated to be heading to Paris for Ireland's crucial World Cup Qualifier match. 2008 - The budget for Nenagh General Hospital appeared to be slashed by over €2 million – a move that would result in job cuts in Accident and Emergency services. The long-term plan for the hospital was to make the A&E nurse-led, while also enhancing the hospital's diagnostic service. The hospital would not have the budget to carry out both, so A&E would likely be the service that gets sacrificed.  2011- A Thurles-based company was seeking to increase the workforce by more than ninety people, and may have to relocate to the UK in a bid to keep contracts, due to the fact that they simply cannot recruit staff. A.R.E. Direct Sales Management Ltd.,  which operates out of the Archerstown Industrial Estate, just outside Thurles, is one of the fastest growing companies in the region, having started out less than one year ago.  That was Eric Prydz with Call On Me – the biggest song on this day in 2004 Onto music news on this day In 2006 The Killers started a three week run at No.1 on the UK album chart with Sam's Town the US band's second album. Sam's Town debuted at No.2 on the US Billboard 200. 2007 Arctic Monkeys were named the best act in the world at this year's Q Awards held in London. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Matt Damon was born in America in 1970 and singer Bruno Mars was born in America on this day in 1985 and this is one of his songs. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

RVM 191: International Football - World Cup Qualifiers, England's Struggles & The Hypocrisy of Club vs. Country   Roger and Marx are back for another episode of the Roger Van Moorinho Show on Affinity Xtra! In this episode, the guys dive into the recent international break and World Cup qualifiers, offering a unique perspective on the state of global football.   The show kicks off with a discussion about the upcoming World Cup in Canada, the US, and Mexico, touching on the challenges teams will face with varying climates. They then go group-by-group through the qualifiers, sharing their thoughts on England's unconvincing performances and the struggles of traditional powerhouses like Germany.   The conversation gets heated as they discuss the challenges faced by smaller nations and the hypocrisy they see in modern football. They criticize players who prioritize club careers over international loyalty, referencing players like Alexander Isak and his impact on Sweden's team. They also question the loyalty of players who "skank" their heritage nations to play for a more popular country, like the discussion around Mason Greenwood and Jamaica.   Roger and Marx argue that some of these struggles are a result of countries hiring foreign managers and losing their national identity in the process. They believe international football should be "the best of us, against the best of you" with a full national setup, from coaches to players. The conversation then shifts to the state of South American football, where Brazil is struggling in their group with surprising losses , and the challenges faced by African teams, including Nigeria's disappointing performance in their qualifying group.   The show is a mix of passionate debate, honest opinions, and unfiltered analysis of the beautiful game.   #RVM191 #InternationalFootball #WorldCupQualifiers #EnglandFootball #BrazilFootball #NigeriaFootball #FootballPodcast #WorldCup2026 #RogerVanMoorinhoShow #AffinityXtra   https://youtu.be/T1daynLEfZ0

Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo has dominated global headlines yet again this week blending record-breaking feats on the pitch with international intrigue and typically viral fan moments. Just yesterday Portugal News reported that Ronaldo became the all-time leading goalscorer in World Cup qualifying history after notching his 40th and 41st goals during Portugal's dramatic 2-2 draw against Hungary in Lisbon. This surpasses the previous record set by Guatemala's Carlos Ruiz. Ronaldo's double wasn't enough to clinch Portugal's automatic ticket to the 2026 World Cup but his individual tally—now 948 career goals—continues to defy belief at age 40, making him the only player with 143 international goals in 225 appearances, stretching the upper limit of what's supposed to be possible for a footballer of his age. Associated Press and CNN both carried the headline “Cristiano Ronaldo Sets New Scoring Record in World Cup Qualifiers” marking another chapter in his spectacular, never-ending rewrite of football's history books.After the game, Ronaldo took to Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) to rally his teammates and thank fans, writing “We are getting closer and closer to our goal! Let's go Portugal!” The post racked up millions of likes and dominated sports feeds, with media including Sportskeeda and DailySports highlighting his continued leadership within a new generation. As if scripted for social media, images from the match showing Ronaldo comforting a young mascot—who tearfully asked for a hug—went viral across Threads and Instagram, reinforcing his dual image as icon and heartthrob.In business and global brand news, speculation is swirling around the anticipated visit to India later this month. Indian sports outlets and Trade Brains are reporting that Ronaldo's club Al-Nassr is set to play FC Goa as part of the AFC Champions League Two campaign on October 22 at Fatorda Stadium, marking what would be Ronaldo's first-ever official appearance in India. While Al-Nassr has reportedly initiated his visa and security arrangements, neither the club nor Ronaldo have officially confirmed he will travel—squad rotation, injuries, or personal priorities might yet intervene, a point Indian sources repeatedly flag as unconfirmed. Regardless, the mere chance of Ronaldo coming to India has already set off a sponsorship and fan frenzy, with local authorities bracing for possible record crowds and a tourism boom.The blend of history on the pitch, global business maneuverings, and that viral display of humanity towards a child—these past few days perfectly encapsulate the continued gravitational pull of Cristiano Ronaldo, a man who remains, even at 40, the world's most talked-about footballer.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo's past week has been a dramatic mix of historic achievements and intense scrutiny as he continues to define the boundaries of sporting celebrity. On the pitch, the Portugal captain played a decisive role in the World Cup qualifier against the Republic of Ireland in Lisbon. After narrowly missing several chances and striking the post with a fierce shot, Ronaldo earned a penalty late in the game, but had it saved spectacularly by Brentford's Caoimhin Kelleher. That moment left Portugal teetering until Ruben Neves headed home the match winner in stoppage time, preserving both the team's perfect record and its hopes for a spot at next year's tournament. Ronaldo marked the occasion online, posting a succinct message “Another step taken! Let's go!” to his nearly 700 million followers, signaling his determination despite the personal disappointment. Teammate Renato Veiga publicly backed Ronaldo, insisting he owes no apologies after all he's given to Portugal, and highlighting the goodwill that shields him from short-term criticism.Off-field, the headlines have been equally significant. This week Fortune and Bloomberg confirmed what has long been anticipated: Cristiano Ronaldo is now football's first-ever billionaire, having eclipsed a net worth of $1.4 billion. This latest leap is propelled by his renewed, tax-free Al-Nassr contract, reportedly worth more than $400 million, along with a 15 percent ownership stake in the Saudi club. Nike alone is said to pay him $18 million each year, and his portfolio—ranging from CR7-branded products to hotel interests—continues to expand. More than just a footballer, he stands among sports icons like Michael Jordan and Roger Federer, his brand recognized globally across social and economic spectrums.Equally newsworthy is the swirling anticipation over his potential visit to India. Al-Nassr is set to face FC Goa in the AFC Champions League Two on October 22, which could bring Ronaldo to Indian soil for the very first time. According to Tradebrains and other sources, preparations are underway, with massive security planning, visa applications, and FC Goa confirming the fixture. But Ronaldo's participation is not yet official; factors like squad rotation or injury could change plans, and fans await an announcement from Al-Nassr itself. Should he play, it would be a historic milestone for Indian football, promising unprecedented media attention and economic impact.Ronaldo himself seems acutely aware of both the weight of his legacy and the scrutiny he faces. On Threads, he told fans, “I know some might be tired of seeing me, but I believe I still have a lot to offer to the national team and to football.” It's a sentiment that clearly resonates both in the dressing room and across global headlines, as supporters debate how long this remarkable story can continue.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo has grabbed headlines this week for yet another unprecedented milestone as Bloomberg Television and SportBible report he has officially become football's first billionaire player at age 40, a status propelled by a recent contract extension with Al Nassr worth reportedly more than 400 million dollars. This record-breaking deal has cemented his legacy, elevating him to the ranks of the world's richest sports figures, and discussions across financial and sports media are weighing the broader impact both on football economics and superstar commercial viability. His billionaire status was trending prominently across social media, with accolades pouring in from fans and industry voices recognizing the long-term significance not only for Ronaldo but for player salary benchmarks in global football.Alongside this news, Ronaldo's public appearance at the Portugal Football Globes ceremony on Tuesday further fueled speculation about his career's future. He accepted the Globe Prestige Award with characteristic flair, giving an introspective speech in which he declared retirement is not imminent. According to outlets like Indulge Express and Gamereactor, Ronaldo acknowledged he does not have many years left but stressed he still has energy, ambition, and a strong contribution to offer both Al Nassr and Portugal's national team. He assured fans he will continue for a few more years, telling those gathered, “Why not continue?” Social chatter picked up his comments on family pressure to retire after 900+ goals, but Ronaldo responded that he is still enjoying each day, with no long-term plans and a focus on making the most of the remaining time in his career.His immediate professional focus is Portugal's World Cup qualifiers, with fixtures against Ireland and Hungary at Lisbon's Estadio Jose Alvalade this week. WorldSoccerTalk details Ronaldo's Globe Prestige Award as special recognition for his enduring contributions to Portuguese football. Despite his age, he remains a central figure in Portugal's quest to top their qualifying group and secure a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. There was some setback for the national team as midfielder Joao Neves will be absent for these October qualifiers, but coverage by Bolavip suggests Ronaldo's leadership will be pivotal and hints at possible record-breaking moments on the horizon.Elsewhere, rumor mills briefly surged with unfounded claims about Ronaldo's wellbeing—AAAMortgageTraining.com highlights how social media lit up with false death rumors, which were quickly debunked, prompting widespread reassurance from his official accounts. Ronaldo himself remains highly active on platforms like X, Instagram, and Threads, sharing training updates, motivational messages, and promotional content related to upcoming matches and his business partnerships, amplifying his visibility and confirming all is well.
