Cristiano Ronaldo becomes first to score in six World Cups
Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player to score at six different World Cup tournaments when he netted in the sixth minute of Portugal’s 5-0 win over Uzbekistan. Ronaldo scored twice in that match, taking his World Cup goal total to nine and drawing level with Eusébio as Portugal’s top scorer at the tournament. At 41, the milestone underscores Ronaldo’s exceptional longevity and gave Portugal an emphatic opening victory in Group K.
From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: Cristiano Ronaldo wrote himself into the World Cup record books as Portugal thrashed Uzbekistan 5-0. Ronaldo, the World Cup’s oldest-ever outfield player, became the first man to score at six World Cups. nyti.ms/44rlfBq
What about Roger Milla? He was 42 years (and 39 days) when he scored against Russia at the '96 World Cup
not bad for a guy who escaped a rape conviction because of a technicality!
I suggest you read something about Roger Milla, who was 42, older than Ronaldo, when he played for Cameroon against Russia and even scored a goal
Strange that Lionel Messi was the first man reported to have played in 6 World Cups seven days ago - and he scored! He also scored in all previous appearances - it's what he does So who really was first?
