Ronaldo Breaks Down In Tears As WC Career Ends After Loss vs Spain - Watch
Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup career came to an end as Portugal crashed out of FIFA World Cup 2026 following a loss against Spain.
Mikel Merino's late goal sends Spain to quarterfinals and ends Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup career
Arlington, Jul 07: Mikel Merino was still on the bench in the final minutes of regulation, with Spain coach Luis de la Fuente worried about hanging on to his substitutes as long as possible because of looming extra time. The Arsenal forward made all that fretting moot. Merino scored in the first minute of second-half stoppage time, and Spain beat Portugal 1-0 on Monday to end the World Cup career of superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. Merino had just been knocked down, and a foul was called. While Portugal's Bernardo Silva argued, Merino played the ball back in, ran toward the goal and easily beat goalkeeper Diogo Costa after a series of passes capped by Ferran Torres' nifty ball through the middle. He's one of the best in his position worldwide, and he has given us a fantastic result and a fantastic goal, de la Fuente said through a translator. I want to express the importance of substitutes that came in later in the game. Not just today, but the contribution in other games has been enormous. Spain, which has a 35-game unbeaten streak, advanced to the quarterfinals for the first time since winning its only World Cup title in 2010. La Roja will play Belgium, a 4-1 winner over the United States, on Friday in Inglewood, California. Ronaldo was trying to get Portugal to the quarterfinals in a second consecutive tournament for the first time. Instead, the career on soccer's biggest stage is over for the all-time leader in international goals (146) and appearances (233). Merino didn't enter until the 85th minute, and his heads-up play showed some of the versatility that helped Arsenal win its first Premier League title in more than 20 years this spring. The World Cup was in doubt for Merino, who turned 30 during the tournament, after right foot surgery cut short his Arsenal season. In the biggest moment of the year for Spain, there he was with fresh legs, finishing with his left foot into the left corner of the net. After emerging from a group hug with his teammates, Merino made a circle around the flag in a corner before letting out a guttural scream while clenching both fists. That's how his father, Miguel Merino, celebrated more than three decades ago during his club career in Spain. And his son first emulated it after a late goal to beat host Germany to send Spain to the semifinals of the European championship two years ago. This was Mikel Merino's first World Cup goal, and 11th for the national team. What better way to celebrate, Merino said. You remember all the good and the bad, and there have been difficult moments for me this year. The latest meeting of Iberian Peninsula rivals that first played in a friendly in Madrid 105 years ago was quite the contrast to their most recent World Cup match. It was eight years ago that Ronaldo had his only World Cup hat trick in a 3-3 draw with Spain in a group stage opener that is considered one of the tournament's best games. The 41-year-old superstar scored three times in this tournament, but didn't have many chances against Spain's Unai Simn, who extended his World Cup record to 609 minutes without conceding a goal. Spain became the first team to record six straight shutouts at the World Cup. The best chance was Ronaldo's nifty backward kick in the 37th minute when Joao Felix's header deflected off Simn's left shoulder and popped in the air to Ronaldo. He flicked the ball with his right foot, but it was soft enough to give Simn time to recover and make a leaping grab. I'll wake up tomorrow like I woke up today, with a clear conscience, said Ronaldo, who a day earlier had repeated his previous declaration that his sixth World Cup would be his last. I gave my best. I won three titles with Portugal. Before Cristiano, Portugal hadn't won any title. So, I'm happy. The biggest title that I won with the national team was in 2016 (European Championship), which for me had the same dimension as a World Cup, honestly. Portugal desperately pushed for an equalizer in the final eight minutes of stoppage time. Silva had a header that went just over the top of the net. The defensive struggle came just two days shy of a year since Portugal beat Spain in a riveting UEFA Nations League final that went to penalty kicks following a 2-2 draw. The other World Cup meeting was Spain's 1-0 victory also in the round of 16 when La Roja won the title in South Africa. It was a great match. Two superb teams, de la Fuente said. As we had said it, it was like an anticipated final. As it was expected, we had to suffer until the very end. Until Spain didn't have to suffer anymore thanks to its super sub.
Ben Stokes Retirement: From World Cup Glory to Ashes Heroics, A Legendary Career Ends
Ben Stokes Retirement: After the Lord's Test in the recent series against New Zealand, Ben Stokes got embroiled in a controversy involving a late-night altercation and a breach of the team curfew but returned to the squad, and the captaincy, for the third Test of the series in Nottingham. Unfortunately, this proved to be his last dash, and Ben Stokes announced his retirement, in the middle of a session at Trent Bridge. A warrior, who was also a showman, will not be seen now in international cricket. He has so far ruled out any U-turn, even for the Ashes, next year. He was one of the best all rounders this game has ever seen. In terms of form, his best year was 2020, as he scored at an average of 50+ and claimed wickets at 18. However, he shall be remembered for 2019 for his two best moments: the 2019 World Cup final and the successful chase at Headingley (Ashes century). He played 38 innings for England that year, but the World Cup final and Headingley innings shall always be talked about as among the best. In the World Cup final chasing 242, by the end of 45th over, England had only Stokes with the company of the tail. The final three batters faced one ball combined and Stokes (84*), with the help of the overthrows took the match and England were champions on the boundary count. Similarly, he had his downfall also: Arrested in 2011 for a night out; Sent home by the England Lions in 2013 for unprofessional behaviour (drinking and breaking team rules); Missed the T20 World Cup in 2014 after punching a locker and in 2017 knocked out two men and fractured an eye socket in a fight. The 2026 incident of being dropped from the English cricket team after a fight in a Chelsea nightclub ultimately brought the end of all the agony. This all didnt suit his profile but he won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award, given for what the English public think about a player as a personality (not just performance) and is among the three cricketers (in the last 50 years) to receive it (Others: Ian Botham and Freddie Flintoff). Among English captains (minimum 15 Tests), he is one of five with a win percentage of 50+ but also lost 18 Tests, bringing him to the third -best winning percentage and the fourth-worst losing percentage, for England. He scored 30 from 20 balls in a crazy final innings and received a huge ovation, returning. His final Test numbers: 7,273 runs at 34.46, and 252 wickets at 30.98 and incidentally Zak Foulkes was his last wicket, and he was the last man to get him out also. He had many moments to celebrate in his illustrious career: * In Tests one of the 3 players to score 7000+ runs and claim 200+ wickets. * Scored 2nd fastest 200 and the fastest 250 runs in an innings in Tests. * Twice scored 100+ runs in a session in Tests. * Before his last innings, he was the only cricketer who never got out while opening but got out in his last innings (in his last Test). * As a bowler, once he broke a 300+ runs (in his last Test), 3 times he broke 200+ runs, 18 times he broke 100+ runs and 49 times he broke 50+ runs partnerships in Test cricket. * As per allrounder Ratio (Batting average to Bowling average), out of 26 players (min. qualification: 2000+ runs and 200+ wickets in Tests), with the figure of 1.112 (34.46/30.99) Stokes is at number ten, sandwiched between Chris Cairns (1.140) and R Ashwin (1.073). * In his last Test innings, batted at number 2 (it just happened or did it deliberately-no one knows) and completed the set of batting in all positions from 1-11 in the batting order. * The only player in Tests to achieve all three of these: Batted in all 11 batting positions; Dismissed the batters from all 11 batting positions and took catches of batters from all 11 batting positions. Also Read: Live Cricket Score * He scored an average of 33 runs off 57 balls per innings, bowled an average of 13 overs to claim 1.38 wickets per innings and took a catch per Test, justifying a proper all-rounder tag.

Despite better job quality in these cities, a significant wage gap persists, with women earning considerably less than men, especially in self-employment. Longer working hours are also noted.

Outsourcing jobs further increasing unemployment: Bukhari

Altaf Bukhari blames govt for reducing employment opportunities by outsourcing jobs in J&K
Srinagar, July 3: Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Friday blamed the government for further increasing unemployment by outsourcing jobs and undermining democracy and democratic institutions by centralising power in the hands of one man at the helm of the government. He made these remarks while addressing workers' conventions at Khanabal and Achabal in south Kashmir today. During his address at the events, Altaf Bukhari said, On the one hand, the government promised the youth employment opportunities, but on the other hand, they snatched away those very opportunities through the outsourcing of jobs. Instead of reducing unemployment, they have only made it worse. He further alleged that the government had failed to launch any employment-generating projects even after being in power for more than twenty months. They have not initiated a single project so far to generate employment opportunities for the youth, he said. Bukhari also accused the ruling National Conference of undermining democratic institutions by centralising authority after assuming office. In a democracy, elections are meant to empower the people. However, after coming to power, the National Conference concentrated authority in the hands of a single individual. This has weakened grassroots democracy and democratic institutions, he said. He further alleged that democratic values had been replaced by a culture of flattery. Today, we have the rule of flatterers rather than the rule of democratic principles. Apni Party will continue its struggle against such undemocratic practices and work to ensure that the benefits of democracy reach the people. We remain committed to strengthening grassroots democratic institutions and restoring power to the people, Bukhari added. He strongly criticised the government over what he described as its failure to provide effective governance and its inability to fulfil the promises it made during the election campaign. He said, he government has failed to deliver on the commitments it made to the people, who had given it a massive mandate after believing its assurances and election promises. He said, One of the promises the ruling NC made to the people during the 2024 election campaign was that it would restore the abrogated Article 370. Among its other promises was to provide one lakh jobs for unemployed youth, with an assurance that these jobs would be given soon after it assumes office. He added, Now, more than 20 months later, we hear that the government has outsourced thousands of jobs, which amounts to a grave injustice to unemployed youth. There is a long list of promises that the NC made only to lure voters and secure their votes, but those promises have remained unfulfilled. Addressing the Achabal gathering, Bukhari assured party workers that the Apni Party would soon launch a public outreach campaign in the area to strengthen its presence and expand its grassroots base. At Khanabal, he expressed gratitude to the party's workers for remaining steadfast and loyal through the party's ups and downs since its establishment. Urging people to get themselves rid of the traditional political parties, Bukhari said, What have these family-run parties given you, other than exploiting your mandate to build political empires for themselves? The people of South Kashmir entrusted all seven seats to the ruling NCCongress alliance, yet not a single representative from the region was considered worthy of a ministerial portfolio. This is how the leaders of these traditional parties reward the people and honour their mandate once they secure victory. He further said, The NC's victory in the elections was largely an accidental one, driven by the unique circumstances prevailing at the time. Many people believed the party would genuinely strive to restore the abrogated Article 370. They also trusted its promises of providing 200 units of free electricity, free gas cylinders, an additional ration quota, and several other welfare measures announced by NC leaders during their election campaign. But now this government stands completely exposed for its failure to provide effective governance and fulfill the promises it made to the people, he added. The party leaders who also addressed the workers' conventions held at Khanabal and Achabal included the party's General Secretary, Rafi Ahmad Mir; Additional General Secretary, Hilal Ahmad Shah; Chief Coordinator and District President of Kulgam, Abdul Majeed Padder; District President of Anantnag, Mufti Sarwar; and others. Besides these leaders, those who were present at both or either of the events included Provincial Secretary Kashmir, Nazir Ahmad Wani (Dilgami); Constituency In-charge, Anantnag West, Sheikh Muzaffar; Constituency In-charge, Shangus, M.K. Yogi; In-charge, Dooru, Bashir Ahmad Bragami; Hilal Ahmad Lone; Hafiza Jee; and others.
