Football legend Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken ahead of Portugal’s Round of 16 clash against Spain at the FIFA World Cup 2026.

When asked about his team’s readiness for the match, Ronaldo expressed confidence, saying they are well prepared and familiar with their opponents.

“We will be ready. We know them well. Spain are among the favourites to win. It is a very balanced match, and we will see what happens.”

The Portugal vs Spain Round of 16 match is scheduled to take place on July 6th.

Former footballer Zlatan Ibrahimovic speaks on the World Cup and shares his thoughts on who could possibly win the FIFA World Cup 2026.

He spoke about the players who are performing really well and carrying their teams.

“Harry Kane, he did three things. Two goals and one run he did. We talk about Messi for Argentina, France with Mbappe, but they have other superstars also. Sir Harry Kane is England, and the way he performed today, he needs to continue like that if this England is going to have a chance.”

Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.

The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.

“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
