its’ is a bad error for its. You don’t add an apostrophe to its to make it possessive; it’s possessive already. @JessMCHopkins

The numbers tell us what he did. The reaction to his retirement will show how much a country has tied its identity to him.

Also: No men's footballer has flopped in six World Cups or has been knocked out from the World Cup by two different generations of spaniards! That's el bicho, record holder even in failures!

He has million of pictures of him celebrating a victory but you guys decided to use the picture where he was a bit sad. This is terrible stupid not to say the less

He needs to donate some of that money that the fans made for him. None of these players would be anything without the fans. The fans get no credit and most are in massive debt. I do know that many of these sports players are awesome and donate millions, but there's no structure. Just look at these ideas I have to create change without changing too much.

234 caps and 146 goals for Portugal – that’s an era-defining legacy nobody can match, even at 41. Goodbye, legend.

Can’t believe we’ll never see him try to hit a free kick from 40 yards out again. End of an era.

Try with John Cleese to understand the difference between Football and soccer. You will have a laugh and maybe you will learn something!
