Cristiano Ronaldo Switches Mercurial Boots at Halftime Against Colombia

Cristiano Ronaldo debuted a special pair of custom Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 'Gold Scorpion' football boots during Portugal's 2026 World Cup match against Colombia. The exclusive design was created as a tribute to his historic achievement of scoring in six different FIFA World Cup tournaments, a record-breaking milestone in international football.

Despite the pre-match hype surrounding the limited-edition tribute boots, Ronaldo only wore the 'Gold Scorpion' edition for the opening 45 minutes of the game. Following the halftime break, he was seen switching back to the standard 'Breakout' colorway of the Nike Mercurial Superfly 11, likely opting for the familiar comfort of his regular match boots.

Adidas have celebrated Lionel Messi's stunning free-kick goal in Argentina's 3-1 victory over Jordan at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Following the match, the brand posted an image of Messi wearing Argentina's 2026 away shirt with the number 19, paying tribute to the 19 World Cup goals he has scored across six tournament appearances. At the same time, the image serves as a nostalgic nod to the young Messi, who made his World Cup debut wearing the No. 19 shirt exactly 20 years ago.

The post features the caption "19 on his back, 19 in the back of the net" alongside "full circle. el ultimo tango", referencing his return to the squad number he first wore for the national team.

First spotted in an AFC licensing document earlier this month, the updated emblem replaces the club's traditional hand-drawn badge with a modernized design that has quickly drawn criticism from fans for looking overly generic and being AI-generated (it probably was).

The new management took charge on June 1, but there is currently no official confirmation on whether the team's kit colors will also be altered to complement the newly introduced visual identity.
