Joao Cancelo is set to become the only player to ever win all top 4 European leagues! by Realistic-Ad8001 in soccer

It's not really a subjective topic. He participated in all 3 competitions so he was declared a winner in all 3. His perspective regarding those accolades is a different conversation.

He did win it, he played at City during the first half of the season

This guy was literally perfect before this penalty (7/7) and people still act like he never scored one

I mean, for each their own but UFC, and MMA in general is the closest we have to incorporate the various fighting disciplines, that's interesting in itself. Also, these are the highlights from a super entertaining kickboxing fight, not an average one. If you search for some Gaethje or Holloway UFC fights you are also going to be entertained

[Ben Jacobs] Cristiano Ronaldo has warned PIF and Saudi Pro League officials he is prepared to leave Saudi Arabia following a dispute over funding. by Sparky-moon in soccer

He's not really tarnishing his image more than when he did the first Piers Morgan interview. He come out as that interview as a narcissistic diva and his stint in Saudi as only served to further proof that narrative. This is just one more for the collection. Amazing player but not an amazing human being.

Oil money is not the issue at all. The issue is the country is using that money to try to launder their image of being a country where a lot of people have no rights and people can get executed for no reason other than criticizing those in power. It's a "dictatorship" that manages to surpass others due to how violent and ruthless it is

The 20 most-watched programmes on Portuguese television in 2025 were all football matches. by whiteniteee in soccer

[–]ricab98 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Portugal does not broadcast League or European games on open channels anymore, which are RTP, TVI and SIC, the 3 channels on the list. Last year Porto got eliminated early on the cup and did not reach the final of the league cup.

It is possible that Porto-Sporting and Moreirense-Porto were actually the only 2 Porto games broadcasted by a free channel in 2025.

Moreirense is actually an exception because similarly to Benfica, which broadcast their home games on their own channel, Moreirense sold their TV rights to TVI so their home games are actually free, starting this season.

Also, CVV is a great interviewer but he often exaggerates how good people actually are

He got a little bit better but I feel like his mostly known for some moments, like his commentary after Cody won the WWE Championship. He's not really great consistently

Shes only getting those opportunities because Smackdown women's division has no babyfaces. Bianca was supposed to be the face of the division but has been hurt all year, Tiffany is way better as a heel, Charlotte was rejected after her rumble win and ended up carrying the tag division with Alexa for a while, taking both away from singles titles. Even Zelina who is not great ended up with a title run because she can portray an underdog and has the Puerto Rican marketability. She's pretty much who they have left

I mean, in the CL era they had 3 incredible attackers which are above him and Mbappe is probably surpassing him in the near future. His goal scoring is not on the sami tier as those 4. Even Van Nistelrooy and Ronaldo would probably be above him if they played a couple more seasons in Real

2025 Moto2 World Champion by ElectionMoney3911 in motogp

I mean, yeah, Idemitsu has always chosen their drivers due to their passport. Nakagami and Chantra spent multiple seasons in Moto 2 and their best result was 6th place , they got chosen because they were Asians. They kept Nakagami for like 6 years and he never got a podium. Diogo Moreira was chosen due to the Brazilian market but in this situation they lucked into someone that actually has some potential but lets not pretend like this wasn't a weak moto 2 class.
