Pirlo criticizes Cristiano Ronaldo’s attitude
Juventus coach, Andrea Pirlo, criticized Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, publicly. Rumors about them not getting along have been circulating, especially because the coach has asked Cristiano to be a team player.
On the third day of the group stage of the Champions League, after winning against Ferencváros, Pirlo pointed out in an interview with Sky Sport that the team could have closed the match earlier. He was referring to a play that Cristiano led.
“On some occasions they should have had a better time, and above all in front of the goal. In general, they should be less selfish to close the game early,” said Pirlo. There was one play in which Cristiano did not pass the ball to Alvaro Morata, in a great goal-scoring opportunity to kill off the game.
Rumors had already been circulating that they don’t get along well because Pirlo demands more collective play, but this is the first time that the former Italian midfielder says it in a blunt and clear way.

President López Obrador meets with Astros and Rockies ahead of Mexico City Series
Last Friday, before the 2024 Mexico City Series between the Astros and Rockies at Alfredo Harp Helú Stadium in Mexico City, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador met with representatives from both teams.
Through his social media, the President shared his interaction with executives from the Houston and Colorado teams, as well as with Astros’ Mexican pitcher, José Urquidy.
“Yesterday (Friday), before starting the tour, I had breakfast with executives and friends from the Houston Astros and the Colorado Rockies. There’s increasingly more baseball fever in our country,” López Obrador wrote.
The photos also featured former Mexican major leaguers Vinicio “Vinny” Castilla and Jorge de la Rosa, both of whom played for the Colorado team.
On Saturday night, the Houston Astros won the first game in the “capital inferno,” home of the Mexico City Red Devils, with a commanding score of 12 to 4.
This Sunday, the second game of the series will take place at AHH, with both teams arriving in Mexico on a losing streak. Another great Major League celebration is anticipated at the “fire diamond.”

Social media star Om Fahad fatally shot in Baghdad
An Iraqi TikToker, previously sentenced to prison last year for posting content deemed “indecent” on social media, was fatally shot in Baghdad on Friday, according to two security officials.
Om Fahad, who had tens of thousands of followers on TikTok and Instagram, gained fame for her videos featuring her in tight outfits dancing to Iraqi music, in a country that is predominantly conservative and patriarchal.
The young woman was shot by an assailant on a motorcycle while she was in her vehicle outside her home in central Baghdad, two security officials reported anonymously to AFP.
In February 2023, a court initially sentenced Om Fahad to six months in jail for “publishing various videos with indecent intentions that violate modesty and public morals.”
