Cristiano Ronaldo’s release from Manchester United was inevitable, a matter of time after months of divisive conduct between the two sides on and off the field and the star’s bombshell interview with Piers Morgan last week. But the certainty of this falling out is not as important as the timing, as the Premier League spat is certain to affect Portugal in the World Cup.

Since his senior debut at Euro 2004, Portugal has ...

Last week, Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo rewrote history after surpassing Iranian striker Ali Daei on the all-time international goal leaderboard. The previous record was set by the Iranian ace in 2006, after scoring his 109th international goal versus Costa Rica. However, this record now belongs to Ronaldo — a constant centerpiece in the “G.O.A.T debate” alongside Argentina’s Lionel Messi. The feat was set in stone after Ronaldo slotted home two headers to claim Portugal a late, come-from-behind, 2-1 victory in their World Cup qualifying match against Ireland. The international goal-scoring re...
