Black day for football.

The king of football has retired.

My heart breaks and aches.

I have dreaded this moment for years.

Football has lost its spark.

No amount of tap-ins and penalty kicks can equate the glory of holding the world championship trophy...


You might just take solace in the 1000 goals journey the Portuguese is struggling to put together, just to console his passionate fans like you.πŸ‘
