About Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the top players in international football. Ronaldo plays for Manchester United and is the main player for his home country, the Portugal National Football Team. Cristiano Ronaldo has amazing football skills and plays in an attacking midfield position, although he has played as striker. His ability to run at top speed and dribble the ball as fast as possible is one of a kind. He was chosen by FIFA the third best football player of the year in 2007 and second best for France Football Magazine. Ronaldo's expertise in moving the ball around the most skilled defenders is considered top in the world, and his goal-scoring at medium and close range is superb. Ronaldo scored dozens of goals in the Premiership and UEFA Champions League in 2007-2008. He is most recently famous for missing a penalty kick in the 2008 Champions League final shootout against Chelsea, but Manchester United was able to prevail nonetheless.

He is scheduled to play for Portugal in EURO 2008 in Switzerland and Austria, and will no doubt help Portugal's chances to become the best team in Europe.
