FIFA have awarded the Puskas trophy to Cristiano Ronaldo for his goal for Manchester United v. Porto in last season’s Champions League. The goal was a 35-yard bomb that was hit with such venom, Porto’s Helton stood no chance in making the save, regardless of where he was placed in the goal-mouth. Helton [...]
Did you see Cristiano Ronaldo’s free kick today? It was ridiculous. I go and smash him in a post this afternoon, and he goes and does something that makes me jump out of my seat. I love/hate the guy, so I wish, for my sake, he’d just quit doing stuff like this. [...]
Probably not news to anyone, but I’ve always liked him as a player, and thought he could act the way he does because of his supreme talent. But, after listening to Monday’s Guardian podcast (which I highly recommend, pick it up on itunes), I’ve learned more about this pompous baby. I knew that Ronaldo missed [...]
This can’t be real, can it?
What does this clip have in common with this weekend’s matches? Stumped? Ok, I’ll humor you. Ronaldo plays for Madrid this weekend, and United travel to Portsmouth.
UPDATE: Real Madrid have voiced their frustration with Cristiano Ronaldo playing for Portugal on Saturday v. Hungary. Real claim that it was foolish for Ronaldo to play, as he was suffering from an ankle injury he picked up almost two weeks ago.
Listen, I understand that Real Madrid pay Ronaldo’s salary, but country should always come [...]
It’s an interesting question. Thomas Vermaelen was purchased from Ajax for a fee of $17.5 million, and during his ten matches in an Arsenal shirt, he has netted five times. That includes four league goals in seven appearances, and one goal in three Champions League matches. Now, Ronaldo has scored nine goals [...]
Cristiano Ronaldo sustained an ankle injury that may keep him out of Real Madrid’s line-up v. Sevilla on Sunday. Ronaldo got the injury v. Marseille on Wednesday, and Madrid boss Manuel Pellegrini has said that Ronaldo has significant swelling and his progress will be monitored closely over the next few days. Sevilla are currently third [...]
A Spanish warlock claims that he has been paid ‘by someone famous’ to curse Cristiano Ronaldo. Jose Ruz, a 58 year Spaniard, wrote a letter to Real Madrid president, Florentino Perez to warn him that Ronaldo ‘will be injured for more time than he plays.’ Read more about this odd, odd story in the London [...]
Cristiano Ronaldo has become the first ever Real Madrid player to score in his first four games at the club. Ronaldo has scored five goals in four La Liga matches, and has seven tallies in all competitions. Real Madrid broke the world transfer record for Ronaldo, splashing out $130 million to Manchester United for his [...]
The purchase of Cristiano Ronaldo has helped triple the Real Madrid debt to an astonishing $481 million. The purchases of Ronaldo, Kaka, Xabi Alonso, and Karim Benzema cost Madrid $367 million this summer. This newly increased debt may be troublesome for Real, as UEFA plan to crackdown on clubs that spend more money than they [...]
Tomorrow’s Portugal v. Hungary match may be the most important match of Cristiano Ronaldo’s young, but incredibly successful, career. You could argue that the Euro 2004 final may be the biggest, or even the 2008 Champions League final, but this match could determine if Ronaldo is able to play on the world’s biggest stage. If [...]
If you know me, you know that I’m a Manchester United fan. So, Cristiano Ronaldo is on my bad side right now, just because I’m bitter than he left for Real Madrid. But, he did bring United 3 straight Premier League titles, a Champions League winner’s medal, an FA cup, and a Carling [...]
I watched this match live, and I still couldn’t believe it. I’ve seen it 1,000 times since, and it’s still one of the best that I’ve ever seen. Enjoy.
Cristiano Ronaldo has urged Real Madrid fans not to worry over the team’s lackluster performance against Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday. Madrid won 3-2, but looked less than convincing, giving up 2 goals to a team that finished 20 points behind them in last year’s La Liga table. You can read all about this story [...]
First, Chelsea is good. I understand that they beat newly promoted Burnley, but it was a thorough victory, complete with 15 shots on goal. When I first heard of Chelsea’s midfield diamond formation, I didn’t think it would work because they wouldn’t have any width on the flanks. But, I’ve been proven [...]
We all knew Real Madrid would be able to score, but it’s their defense that is suspect. They didn’t do much to disspell those rumors today, but they look incredible going forward.
