Cristiano Ronaldo
D.O.B.
5/2/85
Nationality
Portugal
City of Birth
Madeira
Weight
75
Height
184
Team
Manchester United
Position
Forward
Ronaldo was born in Funchal in the Madeira Islands where he started his career at Nacional before moving to Sporting Lisbon.
He made his debut for Sporting in the Portuguese Super Liga in September 2002 at the age of just seventeen.
Cristiano caught the attention of many - United players included - during the pre-season friendly which marked the opening of Sporting's new stadium, a game in which Ronaldo scored. The Reds management had been watching him for some time, however.
"After we played Sporting last week the lads in the dressing room talked about him constantly, and on the plane back from the game they urged me to sign him. That's how highly they rated him," revealed Sir Alex Ferguson at his signing press conference.
"It was only through our association with Sporting that they honored our agreement of months ago," Ferguson said.
""He is one of the most exciting young players I've ever seen, an extremely talented footballer. He's a two-footed attacker who can play anywhere up front: right, left or through the middle," he concluded.
Cristiano, who appeared 25 times for Sporting last season and scored three goals, added: "I am very happy to be signing for the best team in the world, and especially proud to be the first Portuguese player to join Manchester United.
"I look forward to helping the team achieve even more success in the years to come."

Good Food
- Acid Fruit :
such us (oranges - pineapples - sour apples - sour plums - lemons - grapefruits - sour peaches - limes - tangerines - sour grapes - tomatoes )
These are the most detoxifying fruits and excellent foods. They should be avoided when you have the flu because the body could overreact detoxifying and make you even more sick.
Some people may have problems with these fruits because of their acid content. The acid though is a healthy and organic nutritional element (for instance: ascorbic acid is vitamin c, found especially in citrus fruits and vegetables).
Sometimes one type of fruit from this category can irritate a particular part of the body. This can be caused by an allergic reaction caused by cow milk. There is a good chance that after staying away from dairy this reaction disappears.
- Low-acid Fruit :
such us (apricots - blueberries - huckleberries - strawberries - nectarines - raspberries - blackberries - gooseberries - mangos - elderberries - olives - fresh figs - sweet apples - cherries- sweet peaches - sweet plums - persimmons )
These fruits are less detoxifying than acid fruits and can be handled well in any amount.
- Sweet Fruit :
such us (dates - sweet grapes - pears - prunes - raisins - dried figs)
Rehydrate dried fruit by soaking it overnight in a jar of water.
- Melons :
such us (watermelons - cantaloupes - honey dew - galia)
Are like all other fruits excellent food. What's very special about watermelons is that they contain as much iron as spinach. Eat as much of them as you like.
- Starchy Fruit :
such us (bananas - peanuts)
Don't eat more than one banana a day if you gain weight easily.
- Protein containing Fruit :
such us (olives - avocadoes )
Extremely healthy fruits. Olives and avocadoes contain a lot of different nutritious elements and even scientists don't know what they exactly contain!
- Olive oil
Olive oil is very healthy. Use olive oil from today on instead of animal based fat. If you don't want to use olive oil use a different plant based oil. If you still want to use butter use real butter and not margarine.
2. VEGETABLES
After fruit the most important of all foods. Along with fruits, vegetables are the only right nutrition for the human body. Vegetables contain amino acids and antioxidants in forms that do not occur in other foods. You can eat unlimited amounts. Vegetables are most nutritious when eaten raw. They are especially important to eat for their protein contents.

b. Scary story (By Ali Shubbar)
Sometimes the simplest things, for example, a box of matches can cause a serious accident in the house. I was 6 years old. I returned home from school to our house in Essa Town. I greeted my mother. I went upstairs to have some rest until my father came back and until lunch was ready.
My mother had to go to go to the super market to get some cooking oil. It wasn't far away. Only 10 minutes away from our house. I had a sore throat that day, so my mother decided to leave me home while she went to the supermarket to buy the oil. I was playing with my toy in the hall near the kitchen, got a box of matches from a drawer and lit a match and put it too close to my toy. In a second, the toy caught fire and it moved to my clothes.
My brother found me screaming, in great pain. He got a big towel from the bathroom, wetted it with some water very quickly and wrapped me with it put the fire out. Then he called the ambulance. The ambulance came in 10 minutes. I was badly hurt. They handled me, and they put some bandages on my hand. I thanked god that I stayed alive.

REPORT
To: Mr. Gary Rees
From: Ali Shubbar
Subject: Cape Side High School
I visited Cape side high School and was quite impressed by the school and by the environment.
The school: This is made up of three buildings linked together. Pitches and courts are found there. Although the classes are dirty and not airy, they are big. There is a fully equipped computer center in the second building, and a quite stocked library.
Staff: Those we met seemed very friendly and efficient. All are well qualified, and the examination results are semi-excellent.
Laboratories & Gymnasium: Labs are not fully equipped. Lots of materials are not available. The gym is fully equipped with three playgrounds for different games.
Environment: This is a busy housing and school area, but with the policemen everything is going just the way it should be to stop the crowd.
Conclusion: This school would be an ideal place for a holiday course. However, the classes must be cleaned and the labs must be fully equipped.
B. (From the book)
Report
To: Mrs. Money
From: Anna Springfield
Subject: Hot Dollar Country Club
I visited the Hot Dollar country club last might and was quite impressed by what I saw, although with certain reservations.
The building: This is a large country house with tasteful decorations and fittings. Downstairs, there is a large lounge with an open log fire, a café, restaurant and games room. Upstairs, there are bedrooms and a well stocked library.

The restaurant: The food is of a high standard although prices are very high. The choice of vegetarian dishes is rather limited.
The café and the games room: Excellent, the music in the café is varied up-to-date. As for the staff, they are patient and efficient.
The gardens: I found the lawns and gardens beautiful. Some of the paths are rather steep, however, especially for older club members.
Conclusion: All together, I was impressed by the club. I feel it is a suitable place to entertain our clients and definitely recommend it. However, I think we should speak to the owner on the subject of vegetarian meals and better paths for older members.

Dear Sir / Madam,
I am writing to complain about a videocassette recorder (VCR) which I bought from your store in the SALE two weeks ago. I tried the sample VCR for flaws and checked how it worked. When I got to the cashier, however, the assistant got me a packed one, and assured me it was perfect.
I was very happy about buying the VCR; I switched on the power and played the cassette. Suddenly, the cassette got stuck. Added to that, I lost the cassette because it was torn inside the VCR.
As you will understand, I was extremely upset when this happened. Although I bought the VCR in the SALE, it cost a lot. Moreover, I only bought it from you because of your reputation for perfect quality. In fact, I have always recommended your store to friends in the past. I shall think twice before I do so again.
Here I enclose the VCR with this letter and look forward to receiving an apology and a full refund of the cost BD 200 or a replacement for the VCR.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Yours faithfully,
Ali Shubbar

Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m writing to ask if anybody has handed in a car key, which I think I lost in your store last Wednesday evening. I put it on the cashier counter to pay the money, and then probably left it there.
It is a BMW car key, with a rectangle shape and the BMW’s slogan. I am desperate to find it because I can’t start my car without it, and it is the only spare one with remote control.
Please could you let me know if anybody has handed in a car key of this description, and if it would be possible to call me on 222222 so I can come and pick it up.
I look forward to hearing from you

5) Writing a narrative
Basic tips:
1) Try using the following sequence:
a. Introduction (Background – Who? – Where? – When?)
b. The beginning of the story
c. The cause of the accident / situation
d. Your feeling while the accident.
e. The end of the story (The solution)
f. Conclusion
2) Make the beginning unusual or dramatic.
3) Make sure the events follow each other logically.
4) Start a new paragraph for each new stage of the story and use indentation.
5) Leave gaps between paragraphs
6) Use linking words (In the beginning – after that – a few seconds later – a while later – in the end)
Tenses Used:
Past continuous( was …ing): to describe what was happening at the same time as the main event began.
Past Perfect (had done / had been doing): to show one action was finished before another began.
Past Simple: to describe what happened after the main event began OR to list a sequence of separate events.
Examples:
a. Frightening story (From Noor Altawheed)
Last night while I was sleeping in my room, all my family was sleeping also, and the house was quiet. Suddenly, I woke up when I heard a loud noise coming from the kitchen.
It was about two o’clock in the morning, so I got up frightened and walked slowly towards the door. I opened it quietly, that was when I saw my parents crossing the hall to the kitchen. So I followed them. But when they heard my footsteps my mother shouted.
Quickly I answered her: “Mum”, she stopped shouting and held my hand. After that, we continued walking until we were in front of the kitchen door. My father opened it. We saw a body lying on the floor and the blood was covering the entire place. My mother and I started shouting and screaming until my mother lost her conscious. Then the body stood up and laughed loudly. He was just my brother Hussain and he was joking with us!
After minutes, my mother woke up and asked what was going on. When she knew that he was just my brother, she became extremely angry and punished him.
I was so happy for that!
b. Scary story (By Ali Shubbar)
Sometimes the simplest things, for example, a box of matches can cause a serious accident in the house. I was 6 years old. I returned home from school to our house in Essa Town. I greeted my mother. I went upstairs to have some rest until my father came back and until lunch was ready.
My mother had to go to go to the super market to get some cooking oil. It wasn't far away. Only 10 minutes away from our house. I had a sore throat that day, so my mother decided to leave me home while she went to the supermarket to buy the oil. I was playing with my toy in the hall near the kitchen, got a box of matches from a drawer and lit a match and put it too close to my toy. In a second, the toy caught fire and it moved to my clothes.
My brother found me screaming, in great pain. He got a big towel from the bathroom, wetted it with some water very quickly and wrapped me with it put the fire out. Then he called the ambulance. The ambulance came in 10 minutes. I was badly hurt. They handled me, and they put some bandages on my hand. I thanked god that I stayed alive.
6) Describing festivals and ceremonies
Basic tips:
1) Describe every one or two aspects of the festival in a separate paragraph.
2) Use plenty of adjectives and adverbs.
3) Use the passive to describe preparations and celebrations.
4) Use the present simple to describe activities.
5) When making notes uses headings such as:
Name of festival: Where, when, why it is celebrated
Preparations:
Costumes:
Food:
The day’s events:
Evening activities:
Events for the children:
Other details:
Examples:
a. Eid Ul-Adhu (Taliba Alnoor)
Eid _ul-Adha is celebrated throughout the Muslim world as a commemoration of Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail for God. Eid-ul-Adha is celebrated on the tenth day of the month of Thul-Hijja. Sheep and goat are killed as a reminder of the sheep God provided as a substitute for Ismail, and the meat is shared with the poor.
Preparations being a few days earlier, new clothes are bought and special Arabic coffee is prepared. Delicious traditional sweets such as halwa and rahash are bought. Streets are decorated with beautiful and shining lights.
On the morning of the festival, children go to neighbours to take the "Eideyya'. The family members visit each other. In the afternoon, a special meal, called "Machboos" is cooked and served when the family gathers. Late in the afternoon, children go to the seaside to celebrate the "Heyya Beyya" which is a small plant grown in a small basket for children. They throw it in the sea with a wish to reach the Holy City of Mecca.
Eid-ul-Adha is surely one of the most enjoyable festivals of the year and everybody, especially the children, looks forward to its return.
b. The day of Bahrain (Ali Shubbar)
The most nation wide events in Bahrain are the National day and the Coronation day. They are held all over Bahrain each year on 16, 17 December. The idea started when Bahrain became independent in 1971 and the late Emir Sheikh Isa held the throne.
Preparations begin weeks before hand. The streets are decorated with multi color lamps, big colorful posters with the pictures of H.M. The King. Costumes and masks are carefully designed and vehicles are decorated with Bahrain’s flags. Flags and streamers are hung and placed all over Bahrain. Buildings are decorated. Drum bands rehearse. Students at school rehearse as well for the big day.
The event lasts for 2 days and is a glorious feast of music and color. The procession of the day followed by dancers and bands in original Arab costumes parades, and the spectators’ cheers fill the cold air. At night, people rush to Isa Town stadium to watch the firework displays. They are watched in many areas, too. They add to the beauty of the celebration. Several channels transmit the celebration live to enable people at home to watch the festival as well.
The festival is a carefree holiday to the majority of people on the island. Thousands of people watch the festival. It’s a day to remember.
c. The national day
The most colorful festival in Bahrain is the national day. It is held all over Bahrain each year on the 16th of December. It marks the independence of Bahrain in 1971.

Streets and houses are decorated with bright lights, streamers and big posters with pictures of the royal family. Steel and drum bans rehearse. Student at the school rehearse for the big festival. The whole country looks wonderful before that day.
The celebrations last for three days. It is a wonderful feast of joy and happiness. On the first day H.H the emir addresses the nation. Later on, many people head for the emirs palace to congratulate him on this occasion.
In the afternoon people start gathering near the nation stadium in Isa town where the procession begins. Boys and girls put on their best clothes. Sword dancers in original Arab costumes perform in front of people. Several channels transmit the celebration live.

5) Writing a narrative
Basic tips:
1) Try using the following sequence:
a. Introduction (Background – Who? – Where? – When?)
b. The beginning of the story
c. The cause of the accident / situation
d. Your feeling while the accident.
e. The end of the story (The solution)
f. Conclusion
2) Make the beginning unusual or dramatic.
3) Make sure the events follow each other logically.
4) Start a new paragraph for each new stage of the story and use indentation.
5) Leave gaps between paragraphs
6) Use linking words (In the beginning – after that – a few seconds later – a while later – in the end)
Tenses Used:
Past continuous( was …ing): to describe what was happening at the same time as the main event began.
Past Perfect (had done / had been doing): to show one action was finished before another began.
Past Simple: to describe what happened after the main event began OR to list a sequence of separate events.
Examples:
a. Frightening story (From Noor Altawheed)
Last night while I was sleeping in my room, all my family was sleeping also, and the house was quiet. Suddenly, I woke up when I heard a loud noise coming from the kitchen.
It was about two o’clock in the morning, so I got up frightened and walked slowly towards the door. I opened it quietly, that was when I saw my parents crossing the hall to the kitchen. So I followed them. But when they heard my footsteps my mother shouted.
Quickly I answered her: “Mum”, she stopped shouting and held my hand. After that, we continued walking until we were in front of the kitchen door. My father opened it. We saw a body lying on the floor and the blood was covering the entire place. My mother and I started shouting and screaming until my mother lost her conscious. Then the body stood up and laughed loudly. He was just my brother Hussain and he was joking with us!
After minutes, my mother woke up and asked what was going on. When she knew that he was just my brother, she became extremely angry and punished him.
I was so happy for that!
b. Scary story (By Ali Shubbar)
Sometimes the simplest things, for example, a box of matches can cause a serious accident in the house. I was 6 years old. I returned home from school to our house in Essa Town. I greeted my mother. I went upstairs to have some rest until my father came back and until lunch was ready.
My mother had to go to go to the super market to get some cooking oil. It wasn't far away. Only 10 minutes away from our house. I had a sore throat that day, so my mother decided to leave me home while she went to the supermarket to buy the oil. I was playing with my toy in the hall near the kitchen, got a box of matches from a drawer and lit a match and put it too close to my toy. In a second, the toy caught fire and it moved to my clothes.
My brother found me screaming, in great pain. He got a big towel from the bathroom, wetted it with some water very quickly and wrapped me with it put the fire out. Then he called the ambulance. The ambulance came in 10 minutes. I was badly hurt. They handled me, and they put some bandages on my hand. I thanked god that I stayed alive.
6) Describing festivals and ceremonies
Basic tips:
1) Describe every one or two aspects of the festival in a separate paragraph.
2) Use plenty of adjectives and adverbs.
3) Use the passive to describe preparations and celebrations.
4) Use the present simple to describe activities.
5) When making notes uses headings such as:
Name of festival: Where, when, why it is celebrated
Preparations:
Costumes:
Food:
The day’s events:
Evening activities:
Events for the children:
Other details:
Examples:
a. Eid Ul-Adhu (Taliba Alnoor)
Eid _ul-Adha is celebrated throughout the Muslim world as a commemoration of Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail for God. Eid-ul-Adha is celebrated on the tenth day of the month of Thul-Hijja. Sheep and goat are killed as a reminder of the sheep God provided as a substitute for Ismail, and the meat is shared with the poor.
Preparations being a few days earlier, new clothes are bought and special Arabic coffee is prepared. Delicious traditional sweets such as halwa and rahash are bought. Streets are decorated with beautiful and shining lights.
On the morning of the festival, children go to neighbours to take the "Eideyya'. The family members visit each other. In the afternoon, a special meal, called "Machboos" is cooked and served when the family gathers. Late in the afternoon, children go to the seaside to celebrate the "Heyya Beyya" which is a small plant grown in a small basket for children. They throw it in the sea with a wish to reach the Holy City of Mecca.
Eid-ul-Adha is surely one of the most enjoyable festivals of the year and everybody, especially the children, looks forward to its return.
b. The day of Bahrain (Ali Shubbar)
The most nation wide events in Bahrain are the National day and the Coronation day. They are held all over Bahrain each year on 16, 17 December. The idea started when Bahrain became independent in 1971 and the late Emir Sheikh Isa held the throne.
Preparations begin weeks before hand. The streets are decorated with multi color lamps, big colorful posters with the pictures of H.M. The King. Costumes and masks are carefully designed and vehicles are decorated with Bahrain’s flags. Flags and streamers are hung and placed all over Bahrain. Buildings are decorated. Drum bands rehearse. Students at school rehearse as well for the big day.
The event lasts for 2 days and is a glorious feast of music and color. The procession of the day followed by dancers and bands in original Arab costumes parades, and the spectators’ cheers fill the cold air. At night, people rush to Isa Town stadium to watch the firework displays. They are watched in many areas, too. They add to the beauty of the celebration. Several channels transmit the celebration live to enable people at home to watch the festival as well.

Preparations for the wedding start well beforehand. Relatives and friends of the couple take part in the preparations. If the wedding party is held in the groom’s house, the house is decorated with colorful lights. Sometimes a tent is put up near the house so that women can celebrate away from men. A special meal is prepared for the guests. Sometimes wedding parties are held in hotels, matams or special halls. Generally a lot of preparations are made before the wedding.
On the wedding day the guests don’t arrive before evenings. However, the day starts early for the couple and their close friends. The bride either goes to the hairdresser or summons a lady hairdresser to come to her. Her best friends help her to get dressed and get ready for the wedding. The bright groom does the same. He has to wear a special cloak called “Beshet”. He goes to the place where the wedding is to be held early and waits for the guests to arrive. Guests congratulate the groom and his family then they are invited to have a meal. There are no dancing or singing in the groom’s party. However women and girls sing to the bride and may even dance. The atmosphere in the party is that of happiness and enjoyment.
In the end the bride goes to live with her groom in his place, with little of tears because of leaving her family and home. However, with time she gets on with this situation and both of them, the groom and the bride, go on their honeymoon.
e. Weddings
Weddings are very happy occasions all over the world. In Bahrain, weddings are celebrated in different ways. However, I will write about the common features.
Preparations for the wedding usually take place two weeks beforehand. The bridegrooms and the bride’s families decorate their houses and invite relatives and friends to this special occasion. Relatives and friends of the couple often take part in the preparations. Some take care of decorating the place where the wedding will be held. Others prepare a special meal on the wedding day. Sometimes, the meal is ordered from restaurants and bakeries.
On the wedding day, the brides close friends help her get ready by putting Henna and make up and wearing special wedding clothes for this special occasion. Sometimes, a women hairdresser is called to help the bride with make up. The same happens to the bridegroom. There are two separate parties for men and women. The bridegroom puts on a traditional ((Bisht)) and receives the guests who come to congratulate him and his family. The guests are offered sweets and coffee before they are invited to have the meal. In the brides’ party, women and girls sing and dance to the bride. However, men cannot see this because it is held in a closed place or in a special tent.
When the party is over, the couples go to their new house or go to the hotel. On the following day, special meal called ((Halwa)) is served in the morning for the guests who come to congratulate the bridegroom, the bride and their families. The honeymoon usually starts the next day.
Of course, recently great changes have taken place in this tradition

Profile:
Zinédine Zidane learned to play football in the backstreets of Marseilles. The son of Algerian immigrants, he was discovered by a talent-scout at 14 and signed as a schoolboy with Cannes FC.
""Zizou"" was barely 17 when he made his debut for Cannes in the French first division. By the 1990/1 season he had become a regular in the side, although he could do nothing to prevent Cannes from being relegated at the end of the 1991/2 season. He responded by packing his bags and seeking a fresh challenge with Girondins de Bordeaux.
With Zidane in their ranks, Bordeaux were consistent contenders for the French championship, though his first major achievement came in the UEFA Cup at the end of the 1995/6 season, when Bordeaux reached the final before losing out to mighty Bayern Munich. By this time Zidane was already being compared to the legendary Michel Platini, a player he had watched at close range when he was a ball-boy at the UEFA European Championship 1984.
His dazzling entrance onto the international stage was a foretaste of greater things to come. He came on as a substitute against the Czech Republic with France trailing 2-0 and salvaged his side a draw, scoring two memorable goals.
But his real breakthrough with ""Les Bleus"" came in the 1995/6 European Championship season. National coach Aimé Jacquet placed his trust in Zidane because the midfielder had the two qualities Jacquet most admired in a footballer: brilliant ball-control and outstanding work-rate.After a series of consistently brilliant performances for both club and country, Zidane was swamped with offers to join Europe's top clubs in the spring of 1996. He eventually decided on a move to the Italian club Juventus during the close season. His first success in Italy came at the 1996 FIFA Club World Championship, when ""Juve"" overcame South American champions River Plate.
This was followed by the 1997 and 1998 Italian league titles, before Zidane was handed the chance to grasp the most prestigious prize of all in front of his home fans at the FIFA World Cup France 98TM.
The rest, of course, is history. Zidane chose the Final against Brazil in Paris to score his first two FIFA World Cup goals and become the toast of the tournament. In the summer of 2000, France added the European Championship to their accolades, prompting national coaches from around the globe to name Zidane World Footballer of the Year for the second time in three years.
A year later, Zidane moved to Spanish club Real Madrid for a world record transfer fee of £47.2 million where he continutes to play magical football. His annual income is estimated at approximately £5 million

Ronaldo
Luís Nazário de Lima Ronaldo (b. September 22, 1976 in Bento Ribeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), simply known as Ronaldo, is a Brazilian footballer (he also has Spanish nationality) who plays as a forward for Brazil and Real Madrid. He has been nicknamed O Fenômeno ("The Phenomenon"). Ronaldo's speed, dribbling ability and scoring instincts have made him one of the best strikers of the modern era.
Early life
Ronaldo was born in Bento Ribeiro, a poor neighbourhood in Rio de Janeiro, in 1976. Like many of his contemporaries, he began to play soccer in the streets of his neighbourhood. In 1982, he scored a goal against his neighborhood's biggest rivals, the Pico dela Mirandona Neighborhood District.
Football career
Ronaldo's footballing abilities were first recognised when he was 14. He was recommended to the Brazil youth team by World Cup winner Jairzinho, who also arranged for his own former club, Cruzeiro Esporte Clube, to sign the boy when he was old enough for a professional contract.
In 1993, at the age of 16, Ronaldo already had scored 59 goals in 57 matches for Brazil's under-17 squad. By 1994 he had joined the national senior squad, although he did not actually play in the 1994 World Cup. He was an understudy to Romario and Bebeto in the United States. During World Cup '94, he was given the name "Ronaldinho", to distinguish him from Ronaldão in the squad.
[edit]
European career
Ronaldo's European career began when he joined PSV Eindhoven for the 1994-1995 season. He became the Dutch top scorer and attracted the attention of Spain's FC Barcelona. He played for Barça in the 1996-1997 season, scoring 34 goals in 37 appearances(47 in 49 including the Copa Del Rey and European Cup Winners Cup), then transferred to Inter Milan the following year.
Voted the FIFA World Player of the Year in 1996 and 1997, he had a comparatively disappointing performance during the 1998 World Cup, scoring only four goals. Brazil lost the final to the hosts France after he suffered a mysterious fit the night before [1]. Some questioned the decision to play Ronaldo in the final because of the possible physiological aftereffects of the fit [2]. This was the start of a career nightmare for the striker lasting nearly four years.
A year later, he severely injured his right knee and was out of the game for several months. During his first comeback in 2000, he managed to play only seven minutes during a league game against Lazio before injuring his knee for a second time.
After two operations and twenty months of rehabilitation, Ronaldo managed a comeback during the 2002 World Cup. Later in 2002 he was awarded the title of World Player of the Year for the third time, and transferred from Inter Milan to Real Madrid for £27,000,000, after frequent disputes with Inter Milan coach Héctor Cúper. His transfer to Madrid was the subject of a media frenzy not just laced with the usual hype because of his reputation, but more so because he was now the third successive 'Galactico' (or superstar) signed in as many years by the Spanish Giants as part of their famously hubristic policy of signing the world's biggest superstar football players in order to maintain their levels of success whilst broadening their reaches of fame.
Ronaldo was such a well known signing that sales of his shirt on the day of his signing alone broke all records the world over. Proof of his fame came with the fact that even though Ronaldo was sidelined through injury until October 2002, fans continued to chant his name in the stands. When Ronaldo finally made his debut and scored the second of his brace from Steve McManaman's pass, it was clear for all to see that the goalscoring Ronaldo of old had returned to club football at last. That same reception was observed on the night of the final game of the season against Athletic Bilbao, where Ronaldo scored yet again to seal his first season with 22 league goals (not including the goals in the UEFA Champions League that included a hat-trick in the away at Manchester United), and most importantly, the coveted La Liga Championship title for 2003, where Ronaldo had previously failed to win whilst at FC Barcelona. In the most recent clash between the bitter rivals, (Real & Barcelona), Ronaldo rushed back from an injury for the sake of this match, which, quite surprisingly, ended in a humiliating defeat for Real. In contrast, Ronaldo's compatriot, Ronaldinho, contributed two goals against Real and subsequently was named as the European Footballer of 2005.
On June 2, 2004, Ronaldo scored an unusual hat-trick for Brazil against arch-rivals Argentina in a CONMEBOL qualifier for the 2006 World Cup. He scored all of Brazil's 3 goals from the penalty spot.
In April 1999, Ronaldo married Milene Domingues. The marriage lasted four years and ended in divorce. The couple had a son, Ronald (born 2000).
In 2005 he got engaged and married Brazilian model and MTV VJ Daniella Cicarelli, who became pregnant but suffered a miscarriage, their relationship lasted only 3 months. He is currently dating model, Raica Oliveira.
All in all, even though Ronaldo enjoyed success (WC 2002) with the overall great Brazilian teams that assisted his goals, he has failed to reach glory in the clubs he played for. Ronaldo never won a championship in Holland nor in Spain nor in Italy. He failed at the "Scudetto Races" against Juventus both at 1998 ,2002, and lost the personal "battle" with Juventus icon Alessandro Del Piero. Many experts and football fans feel that he could have achieved more if he had been injury free . The football world agree that his talent is second to none.

International
Ronaldo made his international debut for Brazil in 1994 against Argentina. He went on to be the top scorer during the 2002 World Cup, winning the Golden Boot after bagging eight goals, two of those in the final against Germany, and equaling Pelé's Brazilian record of 12 World Cup goals, after the four he scored in the 1998 tournament.He is only four goals away from all time World cup scoring record. As of October 2005, he has scored 57 goals in 90 games.

Voted the FIFA World Player of the Year in 1996 and 1997, he had a comparatively disappointing performance during the 1998 World Cup, scoring only four goals. Brazil lost the final to the hosts France after he suffered a mysterious fit the night before [1]. Some questioned the decision to play Ronaldo in the final because of the possible physiological aftereffects of the fit [2]. This was the start of a career nightmare for the striker lasting nearly four years.
A year later, he severely injured his right knee and was out of the game for several months. During his first comeback in 2000, he managed to play only seven minutes during a league game against Lazio before injuring his knee for a second time.
After two operations and twenty months of rehabilitation, Ronaldo managed a comeback during the 2002 World Cup. Later in 2002 he was awarded the title of World Player of the Year for the third time, and transferred from Inter Milan to Real Madrid for £27,000,000, after frequent disputes with Inter Milan coach Héctor Cúper. His transfer to Madrid was the subject of a media frenzy not just laced with the usual hype because of his reputation, but more so because he was now the third successive 'Galactico' (or superstar) signed in as many years by the Spanish Giants as part of their famously hubristic policy of signing the world's biggest superstar football players in order to maintain their levels of success whilst broadening their reaches of fame.
Ronaldo was such a well known signing that sales of his shirt on the day of his signing alone broke all records the world over. Proof of his fame came with the fact that even though Ronaldo was sidelined through injury until October 2002, fans continued to chant his name in the stands. When Ronaldo finally made his debut and scored the second of his brace from Steve McManaman's pass, it was clear for all to see that the goalscoring Ronaldo of old had returned to club football at last. That same reception was observed on the night of the final game of the season against Athletic Bilbao, where Ronaldo scored yet again to seal his first season with 22 league goals (not including the goals in the UEFA Champions League that included a hat-trick in the away at Manchester United), and most importantly, the coveted La Liga Championship title for 2003, where Ronaldo had previously failed to win whilst at FC Barcelona. In the most recent clash between the bitter rivals, (Real & Barcelona), Ronaldo rushed back from an injury for the sake of this match, which, quite surprisingly, ended in a humiliating defeat for Real. In contrast, Ronaldo's compatriot, Ronaldinho, contributed two goals against Real and subsequently was named as the European Footballer of 2005.
On June 2, 2004, Ronaldo scored an unusual hat-trick for Brazil against arch-rivals Argentina in a CONMEBOL qualifier for the 2006 World Cup. He scored all of Brazil's 3 goals from the penalty spot.
In April 1999, Ronaldo married Milene Domingues. The marriage lasted four years and ended in divorce. The couple had a son, Ronald (born 2000).
In 2005 he got engaged and married Brazilian model and MTV VJ Daniella Cicarelli, who became pregnant but suffered a miscarriage, their relationship lasted only 3 months. He is currently dating model, Raica Oliveira.
All in all, even though Ronaldo enjoyed success (WC 2002) with the overall great Brazilian teams that assisted his goals, he has failed to reach glory in the clubs he played for. Ronaldo never won a championship in Holland nor in Spain nor in Italy. He failed at the "Scudetto Races" against Juventus both at 1998 ,2002, and lost the personal "battle" with Juventus icon Alessandro Del Piero. Many experts and football fans feel that he could have achieved more if he had been injury free . The football world agree that his talent is second to none.

He went on to be the top scorer during the 2002 World Cup, winning the Golden Boot after bagging eight goals, two of those in the final against Germany, and equaling Pelé's Brazilian record of 12 World Cup goals, after the four he scored in the 1998 tournament.He is only four goals away from all time World cup scoring record. As of October 2005, he has scored 57 goals in 90 games.
