Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most hated, respected, ridiculed and loved football stars today. He is a true icon – splitting public opinion right down the middle. A Portuguese national and a Manchester United star, the right-winger had a career-changing 2006/2007 season, when he came in off an excellent World Cup performance (although people only remembered the diving and the Rooney incident) and led Manchester United to their first Premiership title in four years.
He’s a good player, that boy Ronaldo.

Mirella Grisales – CR strikes again!
Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid, Portugal) had a very exciting summer in 2008. Nereida Gallardo, Niki Ghazian and Letizia Felippi are the three names that we’ve heard already.

The transfer merry-go-round- somebody make it stop!
In life there are only a handful of things that are certain. You will watch Big Brother. It will irritate you. MPs will lie through their back teeth (and their front ones). Summer does make girls more attractive. And makes you feel less so. People who ring in radio stations with traffic updates are idiots….
Why Gerrard and Iniesta are better than Messi and Ronaldo
All we’ve been reading about these past few weeks is Messi this, Ronaldo that. The seemingly never ending debate on which player is the best has granted, been a whole load of fun, yet for me it’s also been tiresome in equal measure. There can be no doubt that Lionel Messi won his individual battle…
