🚨Zlatan Ibrahimović on Spain eliminating Portugal from the FIFA World Cup:

🗣️ “Portugal should be ashamed of that performance. Not because they lost to Spain, but because they never played like a team that wanted to win. They had Cristiano Ronaldo on the pitch, one of the greatest goalscorers football has ever seen, yet they spent most of the game passing sideways, backwards and taking the easy option. If you are going to start Ronaldo, then have the courage to play for him. Instead, they looked selfish, predictable and completely out of ideas.

Bruno Fernandes is one of the most talented creators in football, but talent means nothing if you don’t use it correctly. Too many times he looked for another pass instead of putting the ball where it hurts defenders. Ronaldo was making runs, asking for crosses, waiting inside the box, and the service never came. What is the point of having the best finisher if you refuse to feed him? That is not football intelligence.

Spain deserve enormous credit because they kept believing until the very end. They moved the ball with patience, controlled the rhythm and waited for Portugal to make one mistake. Mikel Merino punished them when the moment arrived. That is the difference between a team with a clear identity and a team full of individuals trying to solve everything on their own.

Portugal did not lose because Cristiano Ronaldo was on the pitch. They lost because they never adapted to the players they had. They lacked imagination, they lacked bravery and, above all, they lacked unity. Football rewards teams that think together. Tonight Spain thought together. Portugal thought separately. That’s why one nation is celebrating, and the other is going home.”

I understand anyone jealous of Cristiano Ronaldo, to be honest. The man is going to retire one day, and whether people admit it or not, football will experience a significant drop in attention, interest, engagement, and global conversation. He is a once-in-a-lifetime athlete.

Sometimes you have to appreciate greatness while it’s still in front of you. Because when it’s gone, you don’t get another version of it. There won’t be another player on this Portugal team that people and the media can build entire news cycles around every single week. Love him or hate him, he moves the sport like very few athletes in history ever have.

And when that rivalry with Messi finally ends, football will lose something special. For nearly two decades they pushed each other to impossible heights, gave us endless debates, unforgettable matches, iconic goals, and moments that defined an entire generation of fans. Whether you supported one or the other, you were part of something that may never be repeated.

Most of the hate Ronaldo gets today isn’t even genuine anymore. It’s engagement farming. He’s one of the few athletes people know they can mention and instantly generate millions of interactions. That alone tells you how big his influence.

Cristiano Ronaldo gave us moments football simply couldn’t have replaced last-minute winners, impossible comebacks, record after record, unforgettable Champions League nights, international glory, and a mentality that inspired millions to believe that hard work could compete with talent.

You don’t have to think he’s the greatest player ever. You don’t even have to like him. But you do have to acknowledge that football has been bigger because Cristiano Ronaldo existed. Players come and go. Icons come once in a generation. Cultural phenomena come even less often.

Enjoy one of the GOATs while he’s still here. When he finally walks away from the game, even the people who spent years criticizing him will realize they were lucky enough to witness an era they’ll spend the rest of their lives comparing everyone else to.

The day he lied down to defend a free-kick, that's when I felt that football would be kind to him. And it actually did a million times.

One reason his teammates will die on the pitch for him.

Apple paid $3 billion for headphones that cost $17 to make. The acquisition has since generated over $100 billion.

A pair of Beats Solo HDs retailed at $199. An engineer tore them apart and found $16.89 in total materials. The two speakers cost $1.80 combined. 30% of the weight came from four tiny metal pieces whose only function was making them feel heavier in your hand. Audiophiles ranked them near the bottom of their price class. Beats held 70% of the premium headphone market anyway.

Wall Street read this as Apple overpaying for a fashion brand. The actual acquisition produced three separate businesses.

First: Apple absorbed Beats Music, killed the brand, and relaunched it as Apple Music in June 2015. That service now has over 100 million paying subscribers and generates more than $10 billion in annual revenue.

Second: Apple kept the Beats hardware line running as a separate brand targeting a younger demographic. Still a billion-dollar product line twelve years later.

Third, and this is the part nobody priced in: the Beats audio engineering team helped build the W1 chip that shipped inside AirPods when they launched alongside the iPhone 7 in 2016. Apple killed the headphone jack the same year, making wireless audio a necessity instead of a luxury. AirPods cumulative revenue crosses $100 billion in 2026. A product that generates roughly $22 billion a year on its own, more than Spotify, Nintendo, or eBay make in total.

Apple paid $3 billion. Got back Apple Music ($10B/year), AirPods infrastructure ($22B/year), and the Beats brand. The acquisition pays for itself roughly every five weeks now.

Dre walked with $750 million pre-tax from his 25% stake. He just hit $1 billion on the 2026 Forbes list, twelve years after Tyrese prematurely declared him hip-hop's first billionaire in a leaked video that reportedly shaved $200 million off the deal.

The whole thing started because Dre complained about plastic earbuds in a meeting with Jimmy Iovine in 2006. Iovine told him to stop complaining and build something. That conversation generated more wealth than his entire discography.
