First reaction of Portugal coach Jorge Jesus to Ronaldo's written statement: "I read the statement and now, like I do every day, I'm going to the Federation headquarters to work, to think about the Portuguese national team. I have nothing more to say."

Highly recommend following Daniel Podence on Twitter. The ex Sporting, Moreirense, Wolves and Olympiacos forward has been giving out fantastic nuggets of information about his career, teammates, coaches, etc.
I wasn’t a professional yet, I was still U18, but that was when I understood how much spending time together outside the game matters.
Abel Ferreira and Tiago, our coaches (and both former players), would have BBQs at their house and invite the whole team (20 kids) just to hang out by the pool, play pataleca (two touches), eat good food, and joke around.
Great times. Such a great initiative 👏🏻

Acabei de ser informado do acidente que vitimou mortalmente o ciclista Finlay Tarling, da NSN Development Team, na Volta a Portugal em Bicicleta. Uma notícia que nos deixa extremamente abalados. Envio à família e à sua equipa, bem como a todo o pelotão, sentidas condolências do Governo de Portugal.

Benfica may be playing Académico de Viseu behind closed doors, but that didn't stop their fans from receiving their players in incredible fashion 👏
Benfica took the initiative to extend the Estádio da Luz 'fan zone' to host on big and small screens.

Even if Americans are happy that Balogun can now play (myself included), FIFA has just set an insane precedent:
Any interpretable red card at the World Cup can now come under scrutiny in hindsight. The referees judgment isn’t final. It hints at the fact that FIFA can do as they please, even if it means disagreeing with the subjective decisions of their own referees.
Imagine how Rafael Clauss (referee) and Juan Soto (VAR) are feeling right now? FIFA just undermined their credibility.
This isn’t overruling something objective, a decision that’s based on fact. They’re rescinding a decision based on opinion. For as much as I believe Balogun didn’t deserve the red, it’s an interpretable decision.
Anything can now be questioned after the fact. And it’s up to FIFA’s “judicial body” – whoever that is, wherever they are – to call make critical decisions as they see fit.
