Ronaldo handed 30-day suspension after walking out on Portugal

Ronaldo handed 30-day suspension after walking out on Portugal

LISBON, Portugal — Cristiano Ronaldo has been handed a 30-day suspension for leaving the Portuguese national team camp, the country's football federation (FPF) announced on Monday. The 41-year-old abruptly left the Portugal camp on September 30 during the UEFA Nations League, before accusing coach Jorge Jesus of breaking his word about giving him game time. Ronaldo apologised to supporters earlier in October, adding he would accept any punishment that was imposed. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star, who will also have to pay a fine of 255 euros ($286), has received the minimum penalty provided for in the federation's regulations, which stipulate suspensions of between one and six months for leaving the national team. Ronaldo left Portugal's squad after first being made to warm up as a substitute against Norway on September 27 and not being brought on, and then finding out he would not start against Denmark in the match on October 1. Ronaldo's suspension takes effect from the day of the Denmark match, meaning he has already served 19 days of his ban and will complete it by the end of October. The FPF disciplinary committee said it took into account "the remorse shown in the statement" issued by Ronaldo on October 6, in which he admitted his mistake and expressed his willingness to accept a punishment. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner is Portugal's all-time top goalscorer and record appearance-maker in men's international football. But in his absence, Portugal won all four of their Nations League matches and qualified for the quarter-finals with two games to spare. Portugal host Denmark on November 14 and then travel to face Wales on November 17 in their final two Nations League Group A4 matches -- by which time Ronaldo will have served his suspension. 'Putting in the work' In a social media post shortly after his walk-out, Ronaldo accused Portugal boss Jesus of breaking his word about giving him game time in Nations League matches but insisted he was not retiring from international duty. "I will be available, as I have always been until today, to compete and win for our national team," Ronaldo posted. He said Jesus had gone back on his word about bringing him on against Norway, and then in a press conference before the Denmark match had not said a series of points they had agreed upon during a conversation beforehand. One of Ronaldo's pre-approved talking points was that Jesus had "made a mistake in asking someone of the stature of Pele or Maradona to warm up and then not sending him on in the match". Jesus, speaking several days later, said he would select Ronaldo for international duty if the forward was playing for his club Al Nassr, and was interested in being called up. Following the FPF's announcement, Ronaldo did not directly react to the news on Instagram but did post a picture of himself preparing to train with his Saudi club, accompanied with the caption, "Putting in the work".

LeBron James’ move to Philadelphia makes 76ers east’s betting favorite

LeBron James’ move to Philadelphia makes 76ers east’s betting favorite

LAS VEGAS — LeBron James might have shifted the power in the Eastern Conference — and perhaps the NBA in general — when he ended eight seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers to sign with Philadelphia. The 76ers are consensus favorites — from 8-1 to 9-1 odds — in the East to win it all, even ahead of the defending champion New York Knicks. “I’m a Sixers fan, so I was very thrilled about it myself,” BetMGM Sportsbook trader Christian Cipollini said of King James going to Philadelphia. “Far and away, our most bet-on team, far and away our biggest liability (among contending teams)." How much James has left at age 41 will be a big question as the NBA season opens Tuesday, but he remained among the league's top players last season in LA. And he's not the only reason for high hopes in Philadelphia. The Sixers also added Jaylen Brown in a marquee trade with Boston. But Joel Embiid's health could put a major dent in any championship plans. The seven-time All-Star has played in fewer than 40 games each of the past three seasons. “I think it’s more Embiid, keeping him in one piece, that's going to be the key for them more than LeBron," longtime handicapper Bruce Marshall said. "It sort of all goes through him, and that’s been tough for Philly.” What about the champs? Jalen Brunson and the Knicks overcame the odds to win the title last season, and they will have to do it again if they are to repeat. Other than DraftKings Sportsbook, where they are 9-1 with the Sixers among Eastern teams to win the title, the Knicks sit just behind Philadelphia at BetMGM (10-1) and Caesars Sportsbook (9-1). “Just with the hype of Philly and LeBron going there, it's just been more 76ers money than Knicks money,” Caesars NBA oddsmaker David Lieberman said. “It's so hard to repeat, but obviously their run was so dominant in the postseason, it's hard to doubt them until they (actually) lose in the playoffs.” Thunder and Spurs again the favorites San Antonio and Oklahoma City are co-favorites at BetMGM (+260) and DraftKings (+270), with the Spurs at +270, just a touch ahead of the Thunders at +280 at Caesars. Both teams were in similar positions at the end of last season, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder looking to repeat and the young Spurs led by Victor Wembanyama playing as well as any team in the league. The Spurs beat the Thunder in seven games to advance to the NBA Finals before losing in five games to the Knicks. “The Spurs look like they're probably the team to beat in the West,” Marshall said. “So I think that's probably the way it goes, and it might be that way for a while.” The Eastern Conference might be deeper Though the Western Conference has long been the NBA's best and deepest, times could be changing, even with the two favorites being on that side of the bracket. After the Spurs and Thunder, the next five teams — depending on the sportsbook — reside in the East. “Outside the top two teams, I think the East has more maybe viable candidates,” Lieberman said. “It's almost like you can pretty much write down the 11 teams that make the playoffs maybe in both conferences. But given there's no tanking incentives anymore, there could be a couple of surprise teams that make it in one of the conferences.” Haliburton boosts overlooked Pacers Indiana was in the NBA Finals just two seasons ago, its chances all but going up in smoke when Tyrese Haliburton tore his Achilles tendon in Game 7 against OKC. Now he's back, but the Pacers are 35-1 across the board to win the championship. “I think the East is stronger than a couple of years ago, and it would be tougher for them to do it,” Marshall said. “This is sort of the year it's got to happen. They've got a lot of guys coming up on free agency, so we'll see. Most of the guys are there that were on it a couple of years ago. If Haliburton hadn't gotten hurt, I thought they could've won that last game.” Watch out for the... Jazz? Few expect Utah to be a true contender this season, but there is optimism the Jazz could be on the way back with recent high draft picks Ace Bailey and Darryn Peterson and a core that includes Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George. “I feel like there’s times where a team can make really big jumps,” Cipollini said. “The Jazz could be one of those, and just looking at the bets that were coming in, of the unrealistic teams to win, certainly the most amount of bets and one of our highest liability.

Carlos Yulo eyes double gold finish at Worlds

CARLOS Yulo looks to add another medal to his collection when he conquers the vault and floor exercise events at the 2026 FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Rotterdam. Fresh off winning a double gold medal in the 20th Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, the two-time Olympic gold medalist is set to conquer the Rotterdam mats, eyeing another golden finish. Yulo displayed his caliber and placed second in the floor exercise event with 14.500 points and sixth on vault with 14.266 points to book a finals slot. The floor exercise final is slated for Oct. 24, while the vault final is scheduled for Oct. 25. Yulo garnered a total of 77.631 points, ranked 34th in the individual all-around, and was short of booking a final ticket, as only the top 24 gymnasts will head to the next round. While he displayed strong performances in vault and floor exercise, he only managed to tally 14.166 in parallel bars, 11.166 in pommel horse, 10.766 in horizontal bar, and 13.033 in still rings. The 26-year-old gymnast settled for a bronze medal in the floor exercise event at the 2025 World Championships. The last time he won a gold medal in his pet event was in 2019. While Yulo enjoys a peak form this year, Russian Dukhno Arsenii outscored the Filipino bet in the qualification round with 14.700 points, earning the top spot. But a different story goes for the vault apparatus as he needs to defend his 2025 Worlds title. He was a World champion in the previous edition after scoring 14.866 points in vault (15.200 on piked Dragulescu + 14.533 on handspring front 2.5 twist). The decorated gymnast edged out Armenia's Artur Davtyan (14.833) to reclaim the world title in vault — his second career gold on the apparatus (after winning it in 2021) and his third world title overall. Placing sixth in the qualification round does not paint the whole story for the Olympian gymnast as Yulo was known for hiding his routines in the qualification round. Recalling that he also slipped and fell flat during the Asian Games vault qualification round, before earning his second gold medal. His younger brother Eldrew, 18, who won a bronze medal in Asian Games, did not qualify for any final round as he was still grasping the senior level. Eldrew scored 8.666 points in parallel bars, his pet event. Followed by 10.866 score in horizontal bar, 12.100 in floor exercise, 11.933 in pommel horse, 9.833 in still rings, and 13.700 in vault. The 18-year-old Yulo totaled 67.032 points for his individual all-around performance, also not enough to book a finals ticket. The Gymnastics World Championships served as the highest-level global competition outside the Olympic Games.
