wannamaker 1,415 Posted April 18, 2022 One of Cristiano Ronaldo's sons died. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,662 Posted April 18, 2022 4 hours ago, wannamaker said: One of Cristiano Ronaldo's sons died. Indeed, and the news coverage has been suitably sympathetic. S'cuse the cynicism, but...I'd say one of the safest predictions in football is that some opposing supporters will not demonstrate such sensitivity. He's contracted to Man U until at least the end of next season - away games at Man City and Liverpool in particular may offer up jaw-dropping chants of the worst throwback nature. For those unfamiliar with how bad it gets, Liverpool's fans over many years have been fond of referencing the 1958 Munich air crash when Man U visit by way of borrowing the tune of Always Look on the Bright Side of Life and singing "Always look on the runway for ice!"

He has had some health issues in the past, but nothing this serious. A bulletin will be released soon, but apparently he is in ICU in a critical condition and doctors are evaluating if he can be operated. Also not clear if it was an ischemic stroke or a cerebral hemorrhage. Not looking good for him at the moment, though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His sole cap for Russia came in a friendly with Brazil on November 18th 1998. Was boredly looking at the list of players who have caps for more than one nation on RSSF - turns out, following Bakharev's death, there are only two players alive who have two caps, each for a different nation: Miroslav Chvíla (Czechoslovakia 1992, Slovakia 1994) and Mukhsin Mukhamadiev (Tajikistan 1992, Russia 1994).
