No one knows whether Ronaldo will participate in the 2026 World Cup or not because there is no official confirmation, moreover what the other Portuguese players did was bit excessive towards Ronaldo.
Well that why I said that new era will start sooner or later, what is clear is that in the 2026 World Cup we will slowly be able to see it and of course there will be many surprises that will happen, I didn't mention Haaland because he plays for Norway and we all know how Norway is for international competitions like the World Cup, there is no hope at all.
In fact, this is not a bet that I would not be willing to make.
In a press conference that took place two months ago, Cristiano Ronaldo denied that he had finished his cycle as a player in Portugal and even stated that he was even more motivated to play in the World Cup after the European Championship.
My opinion... although he is still a good player, Ronaldo no longer has the physical conditioning or the disposition to run and compete in the match alongside other talented players who are much younger than him.
If CR7 gets a place in the World Cup, unfortunately it will only be to play part-time with the aim of making his presence felt and receiving some shots on goal. But I do not expect CR7 to be on the field to dribble with his speed and jingoism.
But if we look at how Ronaldo is now even though he is getting older we can still see that he still has the speed to run and has very fit physical condition, Ronaldo has healthy lifestyle and that is why he is always superior to several other top players who are the same age, I even see Ronaldo is still more agile and faster than Messi.
For the next few days, the international break will be back with various match for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, I observing the Asian zone and see opportunities in the Indonesia vs Japan match where Japan itself is the strongest team and they are favorites with @1.20 while Indonesia @12.00.
Japan has destroyed several team with landslide victories that have met them, I curious how Indonesia will finish this match.
