Cristiano Ronaldo signed with Al-Nassr for two years, but his move to Saudi Arabia has not lived up to expectations so far.

He scored his first goal in his third game with the team, but his impact has been limited.

Teammate Luis Gustavo believes Ronaldo's presence is actually hindering the team, as opponents are motivated to play their best against him.

Gustavo also believes Ronaldo's presence is a positive, as the team can learn from him both technically and physically.

Ronaldo's contract with Al-Nassr runs until 2025 and includes his involvement in Saudi Arabia's bid to host the 2030 World Cup.

However, Al-Nassr's manager has hinted that Ronaldo may return to Europe before his contract is up.

The club sees Ronaldo's signing as more than just a football move, but as an inspiration to the league, nation, and future generations.

Netanyahu Rises In Polls Amid Military Strikes And Political Challenges

Image
Photo: Benjamin Netanyahu (Instagram) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has managed to regain some political support after a difficult year. On October 7, 2023, an attack by Hamas shocked Israel, causing the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.  Many thought Netanyahu's government wouldn't survive. His Likud party dropped in the polls, and it seemed unlikely he could stay in power. However, Netanyahu's recent military actions, including airstrikes in Lebanon and assassinations of key leaders in the region, have helped him gain more support. A recent poll shows that his Likud party would win 25 seats in an election today, an improvement from earlier numbers. Netanyahu's popularity is now at 38%, thanks to his aggressive military campaign, which many Israelis see as a strong response to the attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah.

Israel Has Not Promised The U.S. That It Won’t Target Iran’s Nuclear Sites, Says U.S. Official

Image
Photo: Benjamin Netanyahu (Instagram) A top U.S. State Department official told CNN that Israel has not assured the U.S. that it won’t target Iran’s nuclear sites in response to missile attacks from Iran earlier this week.  The official said it’s hard to know if Israel will use the anniversary of Hamas’ October 7 attacks to strike back. The U.S. hopes Israel will act wisely, but there are no promises, the official said. While the U.S. supports Israel after the missile attacks, it’s also worried about the conflict spreading in the Middle East. Photo: Benjamin Netanyahu (Instagram) President Joe Biden said the U.S. would not support Israel attacking Iran’s nuclear program. He suggested Israel should consider other options. It’s still unclear when Israel will decide on its next move. U.S. officials are in constant contact with Israel, working to keep the situation from escalating into a larger war.

Photo: Bronny James (Instagram) During the 2024 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors decided not to draft Bronny James out of respect for his father, LeBron James ' wishes.  The Warriors had the 52nd pick, with Bronny still available, but they passed on the 19-year-old guard.

LINKIN PARK Criticized By Fans For Using Backing Tracks at Recent Show

Image
Photo: Emily Armstrong (Instagram) LINKIN PARK is facing some backlash from fans after a recent performance in South Korea on September 28. Fan-recorded videos show that during certain songs, it seems like backing vocal tracks were being used.  Emily Armstrong, the band's new singer, pulled her microphone away from her face twice, but her voice could still be heard faintly. This happened during the band's new songs “The Emptiness Machine” and “Heavy Is the Crown.” In the final chorus of “Heavy Is the Crown,” Armstrong held the mic out to the crowd, but her voice continued to sing the chorus. Similarly, during “The Emptiness Machine,” Armstrong stopped singing for a moment, but the vocals kept playing. Photo: Mike Shinoda, Emily Armstrong (Instagram) Despite the criticism, LINKIN PARK's "From Zero" world tour is doing well. The band sold out their six scheduled shows and even added three more dates in Paris, Dallas, and São Paulo for 2024. I applauded Linkin Park&
