King Football Of Portugal

n a game that lacked both excitement as well as quality, Portugal and Ivory Coast played to a scoreless draw which left much to be desired from both teams. It being a match in which Portugal got off to a fast start yet was not able to score. Cristiano Ronaldo coming ever close with a shot which hit the post yet went out for a goal kick for Ivory. As for the rest of the game, there was little to suggest that either team wanted more than the draw they eventually got which should favor the team who should win tonight's match between Brazil and North Korea..As for Cristiano Ronaldo, it can be said that he showed very little if any of the qualities which has led many to consider him the world's best player; in a performance which more often than not saw him attempt solo runs that produced very little. Ivory Coast, for its part played on a par with Portugal and perhaps would have won had Drogba not attempted to pass a ball in the penalty box which in all truth he should have shot. This chance coming very late in the game which would have given Ivory Coast a win yet as it stands they got their first point in their world cup history.

In conclusion, I would say the game's results was fair yet should make the upcoming matches for both teams all the more important; as their qualification will depend on what they can do against both North Korea and Brazil.

Cristiano Ronaldo, was born on 5 February 1985 in San Antonia, Madeira. He is a Portuguese soccer player who plays in the winger position and is known for his ability to score goals using both his right and left foot. Cristiano Ronaldo holds another distinction and that is of being the most expensive player in soccer history. He was transferred from Manchester United to Real Madrid for £80 million (US$132m/EUR94m).
Cristiano Ronaldo started playing soccer at the age of eight and started off with an amateur team called Andorinha. He signed up with a local club called Nacional in 1995 and went on to win the title. Following this, he joined a 3-day soccer trial with Sporting Clube de Portugal and was later signed on for an undisclosed sum. Cristiano Ronaldo went on to join other youth players of Sporting who he had trained with at the Alcochete at Sproting's football academy. Ronaldo achieved the distinction of being the only Sporting player to have played for the U-16, U-17, U-18, B-team, and first team of the club in the same season. He ended up scoring two goals on his debut with Sporting against Moreirense during the UEFA Under-17 Championships.
Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted at the age of 16 by Ex-Liverpool manager Gérard Houllier but at that time Liverpool declined because they felt he was too young. Later on in 2003, he caught the attention of Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson while playing for Sporting. Sporting defeated Manchester United 3-1 in Lisbon.
Cristiano Ronaldo became the first ever Portugese player in the Manchester United team. He was signed on after the 2002-03 season for £12.24 million and he scored his first goal as a United player against Portsmouth in November 2003. He was also responsible for scoring the 1000th premier league goal for Manchester United in October 2005 against Middlesbrough. In 2005, Ronaldo was voted as the FIFPro Special Young Player of the Year.

Cristiano Ronaldo earned his first Portugal team cap against Kazakhstan in August 2003 as they went on to win the match 1-0. He made it to the Euro 2004 in spite of their loss to Greece in the finals. Ronaldo was able to score only 2 goals in the Euro 2004 championship. The same year, he went on to represent Portugal in the 2004 Summer Olympics and was considered to be the second-highest scorer in the FIFA World Cup qualification stage of the European zone.
In the 2006-07 season, Ronaldo won consecutive "Barclays Player of the Month" award and thus became the third player in Premier League Championship history to have achieved it. In the UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying campaign, Cristiano Ronaldo scored eight goals for Portugal but finished the tournament with only one goal. In total, Ronaldo has appeared in 336 matches playing for Sporting CP, Manchester United, and Real Madrid and has scored 136 goals. He has also published an autobiography titled "Moments"
