At this point, it is improbable that Cristiano Ronaldo will leave Juventus this summer. On the other hand, the chatter about a possible extension did not have a follow-up. Therefore, he is highly likely to depart in 2022, at the natural end date of his initial four-year contract. His next destination could be PSG, which are eyeing another star-studded trio.

Neymar has begun openly lobbying for Cristiano Ronaldo to move to PSG. The Brazil attacker revealed in an interview: “I want to play with Cristiano Ronaldo.

It’s a World Cup, but it looks like a European Championship by now. Belgium eliminated the last representative from South America last night, beating Brazil 2-1 in Kazan.

Still not a sparkling Brazil the one seen yesterday in Samara, but a solid and concrete team. That was enough for the Selecao to move into the Quarter Finals, in a World Cup with a keen for brusquely showing the exit door to most of the favorite teams.

In a tournament where the traditional gods of football have been overthrown or forced to abdicate, Brazil had the merit of simply doing their part last night in Moscow, beating Serbia 2-0 with goals by Paulinho and Thiago Silva. Coach Tite’s Selecao controlled an unexpectedly remissive Serbian side, striking at the right moment, and showing glimpses of their talent.

Brazil breathed a sigh of relief today when Philippe Coutinho finally managed to open a breach into the Costa Rican wall, which had held for 90 minutes. Neymar made it two for the Selecao during extra time, redeeming his team after a disappointing debut against Switzerland. However, qualification is still all but granted for the Brazilians.

Swiss coach Vladimir Petkovic had said it the day before the match: “We will win our group.” It’s too early to say whether his prophecy fulfills, but surely snatching one point out the game with the Selecao is a promising step in the right direction. Brazil on the other hand had a staggering start, failing to win their third World Cup game in a row.
