  • Cristiano Ronaldo plays for Portugal Men's National Team in an official match — resolved “Yes” on 26 Sept 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Cristiano Ronaldo plays in an official competitive match for the Portugal Men's National Team after July 20, 2026 and before his retirement. It resolves to No if he does not play in such a match within that timeframe or if he retires before playing again. Readers often mistake the start date of the condition, thinking it applies to matches before July 20, 2026.
  • Los Angeles Galaxy — the market puts it at 11%, closing 9 Sept 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Cristiano Ronaldo signs with the Los Angeles Galaxy before September 2, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the deadline for the date of the announcement rather than the contract signing date.
  • Portugal — the market puts it at 6%, closing 15 Jan 2031. The market resolves to Yes if Portugal wins the 2030 FIFA Men's World Cup. It resolves to No if any other team wins the tournament. Readers often mistake the linked story about Cristiano Ronaldo for a factor in the outcome, but only the final World Cup winner matters.
