FIFA has updated a new poster with Ronaldo included (3rd pix)

The designer of the poster must be sacked and jailed.

How would they have a poster with pictures of players who hero-worship Ronaldo with putting the picture of the hero himself?

Seems the designer of the poster took snuff...

A very deliberate act...But a very costly one at that .

There is a reason FIFA is third most corrupt organisations in the world.

Seconded

Xavi and Iniesta on my mind.

You can dislike a person, but never deny them the honour that is due them.

You can't talk about football in this era without mentioning/including Cristiano Ronaldo.
It is an error. A costly one at that.

Did he carry hatred he has for Ronaldo to this level?

Why should they add a picture of a player who doesn't dream of winning it?
The caption of the 1st post was "48 Nations, one dream" and obviously, Ronaldo doesn't dream of winning it. Why the fuss?

Some of y'all talking about respect as if Ronaldo has respect for anybody...
In the past, he has disrespected:
1. FIFA World Cup (Calling it a mere 7 games tournament) forgetting that there are big organizations who pay FIFA for promotion and partnership during these 7 games.
He also didn't consider the amount of respect that's been accorded to this same competition all over the world
2. Ligue 1 (Talking down on the league because Messi played there)
3. MLS
4. Portuguese league
5. Balon dor (Said it has lost credibility)
6. Erik Ten Haag (Openly said he doesn't have respect for his coach)
7. Messi's achievements with Argentina (saying it's not a big deal simply because it has happened before)
He always find a way to belittle Messi's achievements in public even when Messi doesn't care about him

His fanboys will support him when he talk trash, they even find dumb ways to justify it..
But when things go against him, they are the first to shout corruption.

Besides, What has Ronaldo done in the World Cup that makes it mandatory to include his picture there?

The funny thing is that, his fans are not complaining only because Ronaldo was not there, obviously there are many players whom their pictures aren't there too.
They are complaining simply because Messi's picture is there but Ronaldo isn't, they always want Ronaldo to be included wherever Messi is

Why is Ronaldo omitted in the first place? Don't tell me it was a mistake. I believe it was intentional. This is nothing but an insult on football. Let's forget about Ronaldo/Messi rivalry for now and call a spade what it is. FIFA is always biased against CR7; since the days of Blatter till today. Haba!

We are on top of the situation
Investigations are ongoing
Perpetrators shall be brought to book
Citizens should go about their normal activities

FIFA realizing you can’t drop a World Cup poster without CR7 is the biggest plot twist of 2026

In as much as I am a die hard messi fan, Ronaldo has made his mark in the game, give honor to whom honor is due.

Why nah. Una wan give C-ororo headache?

Such an omission is deliberate and wont go unnoticed,
Ronaldo is biggest face of the game, the street knows who reigns!

That was a big disrespect to C. Ronaldo, Glad it was corrected.

C. Ronaldo is the greatest player ever in that Portuguese squad. Nobody in that squad has broken his record so he deserves the respect.

As long as Ronaldo never hang boot his face should be the face of Portugal 🇵🇹 in football.

They need to jail the person Wey design the poster he go be Messi supporter

No African players...
To be a black man ehn

That was disrespectful, Ronaldo has paid his dues in the game.



The designer even made it worse by making Messi lift the WC trophy in the second poster, it's obvious the designer is a Messi fan who hates Ronaldo with passion.
