Had a call from a senior football official and his view on this ruling by FIFA to ensure Ronaldo gets to play at the World Cup: โUnprecedented.โ
Was a different precedent last year when somehow qualification rules emerged to ensure FIFAโs Club World Cup had a Lionel Messi team in it.
Timeline.
๐ด13 Nov - Ronaldo gets red card in Portugalโs game v ireland. (Should miss opening 2 games of World Cup.)
๐ 18 Nov - Ronaldo meets Donald Trump at White House.
๐ข25 Nov - FIFA clears Ronaldo to play in World Cup from start.
Excellent work team and a pleasure to be involved! :D

New episode came out this week! I spoke to Chris Britt-Searle of the @thenexttest.org!
This episode goes beyond the boundaries (all puns intended) of the game, challenging assumptions and offering a look at cricketโs potential to lead in the fight against climate change.
Extremely bad news. And wow, just a heartbreaking demonstration that the companies that build fossil fuel infrastructure are aggressive antagonists, despite making themselves out to be humble demand-meeters
