Watkins defends Doku’s statement of wanting to attend child’s birth during WC

3 min readUpdated: Jun 22, 2026 07:16 PM IST England international Ollie Watkins defended Belgium player Jeremy Doku for wanting to be present for the birth of his child during the World Cup after the Belgian was criticized by L’Équipe’s France Pierron recently. L’Équipe has since disavowed comments by Pierron and also apologized to Doku in a statement late Sunday and said the comments by Pierron did not represent its values. “Someone labelled it disgusting and I think for a start that’s not a way to label a birth. He said it only happens once, your first child. Welcoming them to the world is a blessing — you don’t get that opportunity a lot. There’s a lot of times where you’re away from family and friends during the season and it’s a very difficult period. So to miss that would be tough, and I see where he’s coming from, I think he has all the right to go back and be there,” Watkins said reacting to Pierron’s statement. “We’re very privileged men at the end …

Tanya admits that Pranit made a “mistake”, but said he should not be vilified to the extent that even his family finds it difficult to go around in society with their heads held high. “I do feel bad for Pranit as well. A mistake was made, FIRs were filed against him, and he was subjected to intense public backlash,” said Tanya. She urged people to question whether social media is becoming too toxic, so much so that it’s making lives of Pranit and his family difficult even after he realised and acknowledged his mistake. “You should stop at a certain point.

Cristiano Ronaldo defends Portugal’s 1-1 World Cup draw: ‘We lacked nothing’

Cristiano Ronaldo defends Portugal’s 1-1 World Cup draw: ‘We lacked nothing’

3 min readUpdated: Jun 18, 2026 07:06 AM IST Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal endured a forgettable night during their Group K opener at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Houston with underdogs DR Congo holding the UEFA Nations League holders to a hard-fought 1-1 draw in Houston. The Portugal captain was a pale shadow of himself, holding no authority out front throughout the match where he barely had a sniff of the goal. Ronaldo’s perils had seen him take only three attempts at goal all through the 90 minutes, with each of the three strikes flying wide off the target. Post match, the 41-year-old copped much of the scrutiny from pundits and former footballers. However, Ronaldo defended Portugal’s patchy start shortly after the game. “Nothing was lacking. That’s football. Portugal could have won, but they could also have lost,” Ronaldo told Sport TV Portugal in a brief exchange after the game.
