Ogden: Time catches up with everyone, even Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo has retired from international soccer with Portugal after being benched by coach Jorge Jesus. It is far from the first high-profile row of his career.
The Asian Football Confederation has confirmed that the 2027 AFC Asian Cup, which was scheduled to be held from Jan. 7 to Feb. 5, will be postponed due to regional security concerns.
Cristiano Ronaldo is being rested for Al Nassr's AFC Champions League trip to Uzbekistan amid concern that the security situation in Saudi Arabia will continue to impact Asia's top soccer tournaments.
As Cristiano Ronaldo closes in on his 1,000th career goal, every strike counts. But there is some disagreement over whether his 982nd should be his at all.
