Ronaldo hits goal 900

Ronaldo hits goal 900

Yep, we all laughed at him and so obviously he went out and scored. Cristiano Ronaldo helped Portugal beat Croatia 2-1 and, in doing so, broke the 900 barrier. Lionel Messi’s on 865, by the way. Sigh.

Spare a thought for Scotland. They were so much better against Poland than they were in Germany during the summer, but they still ended up getting beaten after giving away a 96th minute penalty to Poland.

And congratulations to San Marino, victors in a competitive game for the first time ever. Nicko Sensoli will never have to pay for a drink again.

Plus, why haven’t the USMNT completed the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino yet? And what are the USWNT going to do without Alex Morgan. Paul Tenorio and Meg Linehan join us with their thoughts.

And it wouldn’t be a Daily Football Briefing with Liam Twomey telling us something about Chelsea. But have they just done something…smart?

Got something to say to us? Oh, please say it, it’s international week and we need the content. Post it on the app or send me an email (imacintosh@theathletic.com) or, you know, write a review on Apple.

Need something to read? Try Matt Slater’s explainer about Leicester, PSR and the Twilight Zone. The link is in the description, but if you prefer to read with your ears, there’s a special Athletic FC podcast out today on the same subject.

Newcastle are on their way to Wembley (and are Leeds on their way to the Premier League?)

Newcastle are on their way to Wembley (and are Leeds on their way to the Premier League?)

Any concerns that Newcastle would bottle their chance of a trip to Wembley proved extremely wide of the mark. They tore into Arsenal and thoroughly deserved their 2-0 victory. George Caulkin was there...

Arsenal flatten City (and Man Utd lose again)

Be honest. When Kai Havertz missed that first half sitter, you thought that Arsenal were going to lose, didn’t you? And why wouldn’t you? That’s how football works. It’s powered by narrativium. Except...

Europa League special. Who’s in and who’s out (and is Mathys Tel off to Spurs?)

It’s mission accomplished for Tottenham and Manchester United, they’ve spared themselves a Europa League play-off. So have Rangers, which very few people expected. Jay Harris was in North London, Mark...

Champions League special. Who’s in and who’s out (and who is everybody likely to play in the knock-out rounds?

Manchester City were 0-1 at home to Club Brugges, but they fought back to win 3-1 and claim their place in the play-offs. Sam Lee was there and he’s looking forward to their reward; a clash with Real ...
