Cristiano Ronaldo received a warm welcome to a crowd of over 75,000 fans in Madrid, Spain - July 6th, 2009. Ronaldo was traded from Manchester United to Real Madrid in a deal worth €13 million per season. It was speculated that he had been wanting to be traded for a long time now. I guess he just wanted to be somewhere that had better weather.

The crowd at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium cheered when he received his #9 jersey from club president Florentino Pérez.

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.

It seems that as soon as the Premier League season ended Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo headed for Los Angeles for some fun.

The young 24 year old bachelor and a few of his close friends flew out to LA to spend the summer. They did everything typical guys with allot of cash would do. Hit up the clubs and hung out with the socialites of the town.

There were reports that he met up with Paris Hilton at a few of the clubs. People close to Ronaldo said that he was trying to hook up with Paris but she eventually turned him down saying that he was a sissy compared to the macho guys she prefers.

In Europe any girl would have given in to Cristiano but in N. America it take a little more than cash to woo the locals. If he had played baseball or hockey he’d have a chance but as a soccer player, no way. Plus let’s face it, the way he plays falling for every minor touch he might just be a real sissy.

Too bad, I suppose he’ll just have to find another model to hit on, one who likes the mama’s boy type.
