The “hair of God” the CR7
Portugal validated their ticket to the final stages of the World Cup thanks to their victory against Uruguay. A success without possible dispute, as the Celeste showed nothing on the ground. For the newspaper Record, “Portugal makes you dream” and can dream bigger. Bruno Fernandes could have scored a hat-trick, but his strike at the end of the match hit the post, also makes the headlines of the daily And she was who talks about “Prince Charming” in its current edition. As you can see, the Manchester United player appears in the arms of his teammate Cristiano Ronaldo. An image that puts an end to the supposed tensions between the two men. Moreover on the first goal of Bruno Fernandes, a tiny doubt remains in the identity of the scorer. On the center shot of the Portuguese, CR7 is at the reception and gives the impression of deflecting the ball. If FIFA awarded the goal to Bruno Fernandes, the Daily Mirror have fun comparing this “hair of God” from Ronaldo to Diego Maradona’s hand of god with Argentina. Good on the side of Daily Mail no doubt, CR7 does not touch the ball. ‘Now Cristiano is claiming goals he didn’t score’, enrages the English tabloid. Everyone will make their own opinion.
Casemiro’s firecracker makes Brazil happy
Brazil narrowly beat Switzerland 1-0 but did the essentials. Without Neymar recovering, the Seleçao relied on Casemiro who shot poor Yann Sommer with a splendid half-volley (1-0). “Brazil advances to the 8th”proudly writes the Brazilian newspaper The day on this Tuesday morning. Despite Brazil’s attacking armada, ironically it was a defensive midfielder who brought light to the Brazilian team. In any case, it’s time for a party in Brazil where the caipirinha will flow like the newspaper Extra in its current edition. In Spain, the qualification of the Seleção is also in the spotlight. “Brazil in sight”warns the newspaper AS. Same story in One of the Sports world which notes that two new candidates have composed their ticket for the 8th, Brazil and Portugal.
England want revenge
On the program for this new day of the 2022 World Cup, a clash between England and Wales. The selection of the Three Lions will try to validate their ticket for the round of 16 after the purge issued against the cousins Americans. The Daily Telegraph offers us a superb front page on this Tuesday morning with the two stars Harry Kane and Gareth Bale face to face. A match under high tension that everything opposes. the Daily Mirror sums up this opposition perfectly well by titling: “fire and ice”. In addition to the territorial rivalry between the two nations, England will want to take revenge on Wales as indicated by the Daily Star. The English are visibly resentful and have not forgotten the video of the Welsh celebrating England’s defeat at Euro 2016 against Iceland. A match that will certainly be worth the detour.
