Ronaldo


Ronaldo, one of the greatest football players in history to come out of Brazil, has announced his retirement. This can only come as bad news to most football fanatics, because he is such a tremendous athlete. Not only that, but he plays the sport in a joy that is almost as legendary as his game. Indeed, he belongs to the hall of fame of all the greatest players to ever kick the football. His name is on the debate on the ranked list, and it is still to be determined where he will place.




He has played the game for over 18 years, and he has all the enthusiasm to make football what it is right now; perhaps the most popular sport around the world. Ronaldo was honored in Brazil, in Sao Paulo in particular this week. For this man, the game is over, but not after scoring 400 goals to his name. His career can only be described as a roller coaster. His was a career that featured some ultimate highlights and peak achievements, but also characterized by some instances of failure.

What football fans will truly miss most from Ronaldo, is not all his achievements in football, but perhaps simple things, such as his gap toothed smile. This smile symbolizes everything that he is inside and outside of the field; a fun loving person who will give everything to make his life as enjoyable as possible.

Johan-Cruyff






The Netherlands national football team is controlled by the Royal Netherlands Football Association. The team played their first ever official international match in 1905 where Belgium were the opposition as the Dutch romped to a 4-1 victory. The team made first round appearances at the 1934 and 1938 World Cups but failed to qualify for any World Cups or European Championships until 1974 as the country entered a period of international wilderness.

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro( born 5 February 1985), commonly known as Cristiano Ronaldo, is a Portuguese footballer who plays as a winger or a forward for Spanish La Liga club Real Madrid and serves as captain of the Portuguese national team. Ronaldo is the most expensive player in football history after

 moving from Manchester United to Real Madrid in a transfer dea lworth £80 million (€94m, US$132m). In addition, his contract with Real Madrid, in which he is to be paid £11 million per year over the following six

years, makes him the highest-paid football player in the world.Ronaldo holds the distinction of being the first player to win the FIFA Puskás Award, an honour handed by FIFA to the best goal of the year. He scored that goal from 40 yards out, against Porto in a UEFA Champions League quarter-final match, while still playing for Manchester United.


Ronaldo began his career as a youth player for Andorinha, where he played for two years, then moved to Nacional. In 1997, he made a move to Portuguese giants Sporting CP. Ronaldo's precocious talent caught

the attention of Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson and he signed the 18-year-old for £12.24 million in 2003. The following season, Ronaldo won his first club honour, the FA Cup, and reached the Euro 2004 final with Portugal, in which tournament he scored his first international goalHe is a great player to watch when the game progresses.here some goals which he scored during his career
