🚨Thierry Henry on Cristiano Ronaldo tears after winning the Saudi Pro League: 🗣️ “ People see Cristiano Ronaldo crying after winning the Saudi Pro League and some laugh because of where he is playing now. But for me, that moment explains exactly why he became one of the greatest athletes we have ever seen. This is a player who has already conquered football. Champions Leagues, Ballon d’Ors, league titles in England, Spain and Italy, international trophies with Portugal… there is literally nothing left for him to prove to anyone. Yet at 41 years old, he is still celebrating victories with the same emotion, the same fire and the same obsession he had when he was a teenager at Sporting Lisbon. That is not normal. Most players lose that hunger after winning one or two major trophies. Cristiano never lost it. People always talk about talent, but mentality is what truly separates legends from great players. Cristiano trained like every season was his last chance. He treated every game like it mattered. That is why he stayed at the top for almost 20 years while generations of players came and disappeared. To still have that level of passion at his age, after everything he has achieved, is honestly unbelievable. It tells young players that greatness is not only about ability, it is about sacrifice, discipline, consistency and refusing to ever become comfortable. You can love him or hate him, but you have to respect that mentality. Football may never see another competitor like Cristiano Ronaldo again...”

@pau40314 @FbPippin9 @RTNToronto Agreed... italy game would have been crazy

@FbPippin9 @sot416 @RTNToronto If it was a nationality that was at least common here like the potential for having a Canada vs Italy game in Toronto I could agree with you. But Iraqis aren't not even close to being also common nationality. For context the city of Toronto has more Brazilians than Iraqis

@FbPippin9 @RTNToronto Yea perhaps you're right

@sot416 @RTNToronto Huge Iraqi community in the GTA you’ll see that game will be more sold out then the Canada one

@blogTO Thatd a drop in the bucket from what governments spend yearly on BS

FIFA World Cup price tag could exceed $1 billion in Toronto and Vancouver blogto.com/sports_play/20…

@RTNToronto No one buy or book anything... hold the line !!!!!! Shit will drop

#NEW: Hotel demand in Toronto for FIFA World Cup not meeting expectations! 📈⚽️

@grahamruthven Oh my

Just found out where my Category 2 ticket for a World Cup game at SoFi Stadium is... 😂

@ShaziGoalie Metrolix overspent like 100b.... and people are crying over 1 billion 😄😄😄😄😄

I was saying this back in February. Now the Parliamentary Budget Officer is confirming it. Canada is expected to spend over $1 BILLION to host 13 World Cup matches. That’s more than $82 million per game. Officials claim tourism and economic activity will justify the cost. Okay then. Where’s the full cost benefit analysis? Where’s the final net revenue projection after security, infrastructure, tax exemptions, and overruns? At a time of rising debt, strained hospitals, weak per capita growth, and high youth unemployment, taxpayers deserve more than “trust us.”

@BNNBloomberg And?

FIFA World Cup expected to cost Canada more than $1B bnnbloomberg.ca/business/econo…

@TheTorontoSun Better than anything else

Canada will spend $1B to host 13 FIFA World Cup games torontosun.com/news/national/…

WILD. Hotels across multiple 2026 FIFA World Cup host cities are reportedly seeing major room cancellations from FIFA itself. According to the AHLA, up to 70% of FIFA-reserved hotel rooms in Boston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Seattle have been released back into the market. The hotel industry says FIFA’s early block bookings created “artificial demand” that inflated prices and distorted expectations ahead of the tournament. Now, with just weeks until kickoff, some hotels fear the expected World Cup tourism boom may fall short.

@CTVNews Yes lets give it to metrolix or uktainr to burn 🔥 instead

Despite $1B price tag, FIFA World Cup can be a ‘positive for everyone’: economist ctvnews.ca/sports/article…

@6ixbuzztv Good ... less money for BS city projects like painting bus lanes

Canada is projected to spend over $1 billion in public funding to host its 13 matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup

@ryangerritsen You want to save that money for which g Useless level of government... who gives a shit how mich it costs.. its a big tournament and give people some entertainment

$1 billion dollars for 13 Soccer matches. $77 million dollars is Federal funding per game. I sure hope it brings in lots of tourism money.

No somos nadie en el fútbol, ni siquiera en Sur América y el uniforme es feo.

@tfcnewsoutlet Who gives a shit.... toronto spends money on soo mucg other crap... it costs what it costa

Hosting the FIFA World Cup will cost Canadian taxpayers $1B — around $82M per game, per report by parliamentary budget officer. 🇨🇦💰 #CanMNT Toronto’s 6 games will cost $380M when all is said and done. PBO says this is lower than what other hosts paid in previous tournaments.

@CTVNews You rather it go to ukraine or other wasting BS from federal 😴
