Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo has had another pivotal week cementing his stature as Al Nassr's captain and one of the world's most influential athletes. On September 23, Saudi Arabia's National Day, Ronaldo took to Instagram and Al Nassr's official channels wearing traditional Saudi attire, sending a heartfelt message to his Saudi fans wishing them “a day filled with pride unity and celebration with your loved ones.” According to Gulf News and Times of India, his post resonated powerfully with millions, drawing over 3 million likes and tens of thousands of comments within hours, with fans and commentators praising his deep respect for his adopted home and his role in elevating Saudi football culture.On the pitch, Ronaldo continues to make headlines as Al Nassr extend their perfect start to the Saudi Pro League. SC Lincoln and Sports Illustrated confirm he has netted five goals and produced one assist in six appearances, with his latest strike coming during a decisive 2-0 victory over Al Ittihad on September 26. The match saw Ronaldo working closely with new signings like Sadio Mane and João Felix, combining for powerful attacking play and showcasing Al Nassr's growing dominance. In this game, Ronaldo scored a typical poacher's goal, capitalizing on a Mane cross and securing a vital win. Commentators noted his relentless drive and leadership, with his signature free-kick narrowly missing and several efforts troubling the opposition Keeper. His contract, recently renewed through 2027, keeps speculation about transfers firmly at bay and underscores his long-term commitment to both the club and the league.Away from official matches, Ronaldo's business interests and social media influence continue to grow. He remains one of the most-followed personalities globally, now boasting more than 660 million followers across all platforms, as reported in Sports Illustrated. His close association with Saudi leadership, including Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and his visible integration into Saudi culture have further strengthened his cross-continental brand and influence.There has been unconfirmed speculation about Ronaldo's involvement in advanced fitness and lifestyle programs set up by Al Nassr's coaching staff, designed to keep him in peak condition for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as World Soccer Talk suggests. While details of these regimens are yet to be officially verified, it speaks to the enduring focus on his longevity and biographical significance.The week's headlines package Ronaldo as both Al Nassr's talisman and a global ambassador for Saudi football. With social media awash in praise for his National Day homage, and on-field performances continuing to shape the season, Cristiano Ronaldo's impact remains as monumental as ever, both in the stadium and far beyond it.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps and international football chat and interviews. The Whitecaps have wrapped up week two of their three weeks off and everyone's getting itchy week, just wanting to get back at it. We have a chat with Whitecaps head coach Jesper Sorensen about the difficulties of getting any work done in this period, the season run-in, bolstering the midfield again, and the impact Thomas Muller has had on the team. We also look at the Whitecaps season run-in and how the MLS West might shake out in terms of points and positioning. We also chat with two young guns that have come through the 'Caps academy. It's been a great 2025 so far for Jeevan Badwal. We talk to him about his breakthrough season with the first team, what Whitecaps players he admired growing up, being an inspiration for the next generation, and being a sponge around Thomas Muller. For Rayan Elloumi, he hopes to emulate Badwal's rise and we talk to the WFC2 player about his excellent season so far, his journey from Edmonton with the BTB Academy, and his hopes for moving into the first team. Plus we look at how the eight Whitecaps players have fared in the early stages of this international break, talk Tristan Blackmon's performance in the US' loss to South Korea, and delve into Canada's impressive win over Romania and the excellent outing from Ali Ahmed. We also talk World Cup 2026 tickets and the good and bad of the currently system for getting hold of them. Music-wise, Hazel O'Connor continues her residency as our Album of the Month, we've Britpop songs from Menswear and Fluffy, and a song about the 2014 World Cup in Brazil in Wavelength from Declan McKenna.

Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo has launched into September 2025 making headlines yet again both on and off the pitch. At forty years old, Ronaldo's quest for an unprecedented sixth World Cup appearance couldn't have started better—he scored twice in Portugal's resounding five-nil away victory over Armenia in their first 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier. With those two goals, he extended his world record as the top men's international scorer to 140, and one of them—a thunderbolt from nearly 25 yards—sent social media buzzing with highlights and praise. The Associated Press and ESPN both note that his enduring motivation and drive is setting benchmarks rarely matched in the sport, with football commentators emphasizing the significance of this campaign likely being Ronaldo's last shot at the one major trophy that still eludes him, as Lionel Messi famously lifted the World Cup in 2022.His performance in Armenia received the usual avalanche of online support. Ronaldo shared jubilant photos and a three-word victorious message on Instagram and X, triggering global fan reactions and a notable comment from former Brazilian midfielder Jose Neto, who declared Ronaldo the greatest of all time. Portuguese manager Roberto Martinez heaped praise for Ronaldo's leadership and the team's “exemplary attitude,” hailing the start as nearly perfect. Behind the scenes, Ronaldo also paid a subtle tribute to his late friend Diogo Jota following one of his goals, a gesture that resonated widely with fans online.Away from football, Ronaldo continues to expand his business and media profile. Earlier in the week, he starred in a high-profile tourism campaign for “Saudi, Welcome to Arabia,” featured front and center in a sweeping film designed to highlight Saudi Arabia's expanding global ambitions. The campaign launched across Asia and Europe, with Ronaldo taking viewers through a montage of high-stakes sports and cultural scenes in the kingdom. This multimedia rollout underscores both his brand power and ongoing integration into Saudi sporting and lifestyle ventures.Not all the attention was strictly positive. A viral moment surfaced when Ronaldo appeared to shove a fan who got too close in Yerevan, caught on phone cameras and widely circulated, sparking debate online but quickly overshadowed by his record-breaking performance. Adding to the intrigue, Ronaldo dropped a cryptic social post about his future, fueling speculation but offering no confirmed news regarding any major change in plans—just typical Ronaldo mystique.As the world watches his every move, the major sports outlets agree: Cristiano's relentless pursuit of records at 40 keeps him at the heart of global football conversation, while his business and brand ventures just keep growing. Next up is Portugal's crucial qualifier against Hungary, where the story continues—could another record await?Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

The 2026 World Cup in North America is less than a year away, and while the club season has now kicked off in earnest, we'll have a number of international breaks before the big show. Each one is an opportunity to take stock of the various national teams across (nearly) every continent and see who's on their way to the United States, Canada, and Mexico next summer.We'll take those opportunities with a series of shows in those windows where club football is on hiatus, and joining up for the inaugural edition is Felipe Cárdenas, senior writer for The Athletic covering national teams across North and South America.We got into the U.S. Men's National Team, Mauricio Pochettino's performance, and the controversy around this summer's Gold Cup; Lionel Messi's last ride with Argentina and his chance to add a line to his resumé that could really settle all debates; Carlo Ancelotti's bid to put the icing on his own cake with Brazil; Chile and Colombia's struggles; Bolivia's 13,000-foot home field advantage; and how Mexico and Canada are setting up as hosts.(And to come clean: I mispronounced Felipe's last name in the intro!
