Viva. Seleção Portuguesa - the footballers play with passion and sing their national song with unction. Portugal has good bench strength. Like several other heavy weights, CR7 and his fellow Navegadores are title contenders. All the best to all the teams at the Qatar festivities.

"Portugal beat North Macedonia 2-0 in a European playoff on Tuesday, securing a fifth World Cup appearance for the leading men's international scorer."

Portugal has already attended 7 WC finals.

Therefore, this will be the 8th!

Who wrote this sort of inaccurate article?!

Cluelesslessness doesn't stop some people from talking. And typing it.

Must be a JT "expert" columnist(s).

The sentence refers to Ronaldo, not Portugal.

"Portugal beat North Macedonia 2-0 in a European playoff on Tuesday, securing a fifth World Cup appearance for the leading men's international scorer."

Portugal has already attended 7 WC finals. 

Therefore, this will be the 8th!

It is talking about Cristiano Ronaldo’s 5th World Cup, not Portugal’s. Try it again. I used bold to help:

“LONDON

Cristiano Ronaldo will get another shot at lifting the World Cup.

Portugal beat North Macedonia 2-0 in a European playoff on Tuesday, securing a fifth World Cup appearance for the leading men’s international scorer. It was one of seven spots in soccer's premier tournament decided on the day”

Nothing wrong with the writing as far as I can see.
