Portugal has never won a World Cup. For a country that has produced so much football talent, that fact has always stung. They've reached the semifinals, won a European Championship, and sent some of the most gifted players of their generation to every major tournament. But the one thing that would complete the story has always been just out of reach. This summer, under manager Roberto Martnez and with Cristiano Ronaldo in tow, they may finally have the squad to change that. Here are my takeaways: 1. This One Is For Diogo Before anything else, this has to be said. Diogo Jota died on July 3, 2025, alongside his younger brother Andre Silva in a car accident in Spain. He was 11 days married, had three young children, and had just helped Portugal win the Nations League. He was one of the most beloved figures in Portuguese football. Every player in that squad announcement this morning knows what this tournament means in the context of what happened last July. Ruben Neves, one of Jota's closest friends and a pallbearer at his funeral, wrote: "When I go to the national team, you'll still be by my side at the dinner table, on the bus, on the plane." Portugal will carry his memory to every game. 2. Ronaldo Is Here. But Bruno Fernandes Is the Story. For Cristiano Ronaldo, this will be his sixth World Cup. That would be a men's World Cup record only matched should Argentina's Lionel Messi also play this summer. Unlike Messi, Ronaldo still needs to win this tournament. At 41, Ronaldo has scored 28 goals for Al Nassr this season and will look to add to his all-time men's national team records in appearances (226) and goals (143). But while Ronaldo remains the face of this Portugal team, Bruno Fernandes is arguably the most important player. At 31, the Manchester United star finished the 2025-26 Premier League season as the league's best chance creator by a considerable margin. When Portugal needs someone to unlock a defense or take responsibility in a tough moment, it falls to Bruno now. The sooner the wider football world accepts this transition, the better they'll understand how this team actually works. 3. The Midfield Is the Best in the Tournament. Yes, the Whole Tournament. Make your case for Spain. Make your case for France. I'll hear you out, sure. But Bruno Fernandes, Vitinha and Joo Neves(21 years old and already looking like he's been doing this for a decade) form a midfield trio as good as any team in North America will field this summer. The PSG pair of Vitinha and Neves have already won a Champions League trophy together. Vitinha controls tempo the way very few midfielders in world football can. Neves presses, intercepts and covers more ground than seems physically possible. Bruno operates just ahead of them as the creative force that ties it all together. If Portugal goes deep into this tournament, and they should, this engine room will be the reason why. 4. The Attack Is Glittering and Unresolved Here is Portugal's one tension, and it's worth being honest about it. On paper, the attacking options are fantastic: Ronaldo, Rafael Leo, Pedro Neto, Joo Flix, Bernardo Silva, Gonalo Ramos, Francisco Conceio. The question Martnez may have to resolve is whether to reduce Ronaldo's role to impact substitute if he is to get the best from the rest of his attack. That is not a slight on Ronaldo. It is simply the reality of managing a 41-year-old across a five-week tournament. In Portugal, the national sentiment seems split on whether Ronaldo should start or be an impact sub. Get it wrong and Portugal will have wasted the best midfield in the tournament. At that point, no amount of Ronaldo romance will save the narrative.

Veteran Portugal striker Cristiano Ronaldo will lead his country into the 2026 World Cup this summer after coach Roberto Martinez named the 41-year-old in his squad on Tuesday.

Bruins Mocked To Draft 'Highly Skilled' Swedish Winger originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Boston Bruins had a chance to have the sixth or seventh overall pick as well as their own first-round pick, but after the Toronto Maple Leafs won the draft lottery, Boston will only have the 23rd overall pick.Although not getting a top-10 pick is disappointing, the Bruins still can add a solid prospect at 23rd overall to be a future impact player for Boston. Ahead of the NHL Draft, The Athletics Scott Wheeler and Corey Pronman released their latest mock draft and had Boston selecting right winger Elton Hermansson out of MoDo.The Bruins had success drafting a talented winger out of HockeyAllsvenskan in the late first round once before, Wheeler wrote in an article published on Tuesday. We wont set those kinds of expectations for the highly skilled Hermansson, but the Bruins are willing to try to go two-for-two. His 21 points in 38 games isnt far off from the 24 points in 36 games that a certain someone produced in 2013-14, either!Hermansson played his first season in the top Swedish league and as an 18-year-old rookie, recorded 11 goals and 10 assists for 21 points in 38 games. And, as Wheeler noted, his point total in the top Swedish league as an 18-year-old isnt far off from what David Pastrnak did, which should give Boston fans some excitement.The 6-foot-1 right winger would add some more offense to the Bruins top-six, but would likely be a year or two away from reaching the NHL.The 2026 NHL Draft is set for June 26-27 in Buffalo.
