    Mora’s Decision, U-20 World Cup Shocks, the Yamal Dilemma & Ronaldo’s Billion

    We open with Gilberto Mora’s decision, who’s at the table, the real stay-vs-move tradeoffs, and why timing matters more than sticker price. From there, we sweep the U-20 World Cup: surprise group leaders, undercooked heavyweights, breakout prospects, and the trends shaping it, high press, transition chaos, and a set-piece arms race, plus which sides look built for knockouts. We then pivot to the Lamine Yamal injury/call-up debate, balancing player welfare with national duty and what better club-FA communication should look like for a 17-year-old phenom. We wrap with Cristiano Ronaldo’s $1.4B milestone, separating the brand engine from on-pitch output, what’s durable, and what it signals for the next wave of superstar empires.
