Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo has been showing signs of cracking. The new soccer hero of Madrid has been recently diagnosed with performance anxiety. Meaning that he suffers from panic attacks before games. It was one thing to be the top dog for Manchester United but now that he’s with Real Madrid he feels as if he has to perform at his best at all times to warrant his $132 million paycheck.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaká have been able to prove their worth for Real Madrid after playing against Villareal in the Spanish League, September 23, 2009. The game ended 2-0 with the only two goals being put in by Ronaldo and Kaká.

The $233 million salary between the two of them might be worth it after all. The only problem however is that since when does winning games mean more revenue produced. Money is made by advertisers. Ads are placed when something is popular. So in theory Real Madrid is hoping that their undefeatable dream team will produce a strong viewership. The …read more

It’s normal that if you posses something valuable you insure it, right? Well in some soccer news today Real Madrid announced that they have insured their new star player Cristiano Ronaldo’s legs, for an estimated $144 million.
Claiming to have insured his legs for that amount could seem excessive. If I were Ronaldo I’d be afraid of not always being the best player for Real Madrid. I mean if he for some reason doesn’t perform all that well couldn’t the managers have him attacked and break his legs to collect the insurance? I saw that on The Sopranos once where he …read more

It’s only three games in and Cristiano Ronaldo’s $131 million salary is already starting to pay off. The young player scored his first Real Madrid goal in a game against Liga de Quito that ended in a 4-2 victory.
The fight for the Peace Cup has begun and there is no doubt that Ronaldo is looking to affirm to his team that he is worth every cent they pay him. I know that Paris Hiton called this guy a mama’s boy but he has real dedication that isn’t seen to often in a sports athlete. I mean Ronaldo got into …read more

This rare picture was taken of Cristiano Ronaldo’s id card back when he played in the football association in Funchal, Portugal in 1994. That would have made Cristiano about 9 years old at the time. Who knew he was going to grow up to be the super-star he is today.

What this image lays out for me is the importance of laying the foundation of soccer in young players. Give them a place to train and perfect their skills. And above all allow them to continue to play throughout their school years.

With the regular European soccer season over Cristiano Ronaldo headed for Los Angeles to party with friends. Last night (June 10) he was spotted at the MyHouse nightclub leaving just ahead of Paris and Nicky Hilton.

Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t too well known in the United States but that didn’t stop him from flaunting his wealth in Hollywood, California yesterday. Ronaldo and friends headed to Los Angeles once his season with Manchester United ended and his short vacation time begun.

They were spotted by the paparazzi pulling up in their streatched Hummer-Limo and entering into the Italian restaurant Madeo located in Beverly Hills. I’m sure a few people dining at Madeo recognized the soccer star. Not exactly sure why Cristiano Ronaldo is in California, maybe he’s there to watch a game or two of the LA Galaxy?
