Cristiano Ronaldo Poised For Euro Record As Portugal Name Squad

Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to set a Euro record after he was named in Portugal's 26-man 2024 squad, unveiled on Tuesday by coach Roberto Martinez. The 39-year-old, five-time Ballon d'Or winner will be appearing in his 11th major international tournament. He played his first at Euro 2004 and will be making a record sixth appearance at the men's continental championship. He collected a winner's medal in France in 2016, even though he went off injured after 25 minutes in the final. Ronaldo, who plays his club football for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, already holds the men's world record for caps (206) and international goals (128). He again proved indispensable as Portugal won all 10 of their qualifying games, scoring 36 goals and conceding two.

Novak Djokovic Backs Rafael Nadal For French Open Title

He said if Nadal was in the French Open draw, he could not be ruled out, despite his injury problems and growing competition from a younger generation. "This year is more open," French Open defending champion Djokovic told reporters at the Parc des Eaux-Vives grounds in Geneva. "Casper Ruud is surely one of the five players who are candidates to win. You have Alexander Zverev, Andrey Rublev, Stefanos Tsitsipas -- all the players who won a major tournament on this surface this year.

Why I’m racing to get my French citizenship before the EU’s Entry/Exit System launches in October

As a dual-nationality family with a second home in Jura, France, we’ve seen our share of LeShuttle delays. The infamous day in 2019 when extreme heat caused a meltdown, and class war almost broke out in the car park. The queues backed up onto the M20 at half terms.
