18. “GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
17. “Showing him this much space is like handing the keys to the blood bank to Dracula.”
16. “Defenders try to follow him on Facebook and he comes out on Twitter, that’s how evasive he is.”
15. “As electrifying as a hairdryer thrown into a hot tub, my friend.”
14. “He could shave a mouse in his sleep and not disturb her.”
Our favorite time of the year is when Football Reference (Fbref.com) releases the map of the most-viewed soccer teams by state. In 2025 the two most popular teams were Liverpool and Arsenal.
American soccer fans were most interested in 10 MLS clubs, six Premier League clubs, three NWSL teams, Real Madrid and for some reason Ligue 1’s Paris FC.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal are making an early trip to Mexico.
The Mexican Football Federation (FMF) is close to finalizing an agreement for Mexico and Portugal to face off in the re-inauguration of the Estadio Azteca on March 28, 2026, marking the stadium’s grand reopening ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Cristiano Ronaldo has a new piece of silverware to add to his gargantuan trophy cabinet as Liga Portugal named him the “Best of All Time” on Wednesday.
The GOAT debate between Ronaldo and Lionel Messi continues to rage on as the two superstars show no signs of slowing, however Liga Portugal have made their decision on the greatest.
Ronaldo’s home country unsurprisingly backed their greatest-ever play and highest international goal scorer in history as the “Best of All Time.”
Cristiano Ronaldo Best of All Time award
An insane Cristiano Ronaldo goal vs Armenia from distance was one of two CR7 goals on Saturday during Portugal’s 5-0 World Cup qualifier victory. The pair of goals boosted the 40-year-old’s career tally to 942. He simply can’t stop scoring.
Ronaldo is making a serious case to be included in Portugal’s 2026 World Cup squad as he continues to provide goals for the national team. He'll be 41 when the 2026 World Cup begins.
Al-Ahli beat Al-Nassr 5–3 on penalties to win the Saudi Super Cup final in Hong Kong after a dramatic 2–2 draw on Saturday as Cristiano Ronaldo netted his 100th goal for the losing side.
Portugal forward Ronaldo, 40, opened the scoring in the 40th minute from the penalty spot to reach the milestone after Ali Majrashi was penalized for a handball.

Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo is disregarding the prestigious award these days with the Al Nassr star calling it “fictional.”
Ronaldo (and Lionel Messi) were left off the 30-man nominee list for a second straight year. The 2025 edition comprised almost entirely of players in Europe’s top five leagues including SEVEN players from Paris Saint-Germain.
Cristiano Ronaldo signed a two year extension with Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr and the details of his new contract are mindboggling. CR7 is receiving a contract that the sports world has never seen before.
Ronaldo, 40, will stay with Al Nassr until 2027 and the Riyadh club broke the bank, and then another bank to keep the Portuguese icon in Saudi Arabia.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s son, Cristiano Jr., took a major step into the soccer spotlight as he scored twice to lead Portugal’s Under-15 national team to victory in the 2025 Vlatko Marković Youth Tournament final against hosts Croatia.
The 14-year-old forward opened the scoring in the 13th minute with a confident left-footed finish inside the box, showcasing composure and technique reminiscent of his legendary father. The iconic 'SIUUUU' celebration also made an appearance.
