Ronaldo Wins the Puskas

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "What is a Puskas? And should I be offended?" Well, the answer is "no." The Goal of the Year Award is named after the late Ferenc Puskas and the first annual FIFA Puskas Award went to Cristiano Ronaldo for his long range bomb against FC Porto in the Champions League.

Here are all the goals nominated.

Who do you think should have won? Let us know in the comments.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Motor Oil?

What won't this guy sell? But if I stop and think, "Would I do a commercial for Castrol if they paid me?" I would have to say, "Yes!"

Old School CR7

I was thinking back on C-Ron's time at ManU because of Darren Fletcher's comments the other day and I thought I would share a few of his goals from the 2007-2008 season.

Real-ly hurting

MADRID (AP)—Real Madrid says Cristiano Ronaldo’s ankle injury has not improved.

The Portugal forward, who has been sidelined by a right ankle injury for nearly one month, had a medical review Wednesday that showed no progress.

The Spanish club says that Ronaldo cannot train with the team and will continue treatment.

Madrid had been hopeful that the 24-year-old winger would be available for Saturday’s derby against Atletico Madrid. Madrid trails Spanish leader Barcelona by one point after nine games.

Ronaldo has scored nine goals in seven games since his move from Manchester United, with Madrid winning each game he’s played.

Ronaldo and Bar-B-Q's?

According to this article, CR9 is teaming up with Michael Jackson's dad to sell soccer based Bar-B-Q's for next summer's World Cup. Dude, I understand you want to conquer America, but I'm just not sure who's going to buy a Bar-B-Q that's endorsed by a guy that carries a man bag.

Happy FIFA 10 Day

Today is the release day for FIFA 10 in North America. I really should have taken the day off to play it and watch Champions League. Instead I've been crazy busy at work, so sorry this post is so late in the day. Here is a user created video of Ronaldo in FIFA 10. It plays on the Schweinsteiger video I showed you last week. See you on Xbox Live!

Ronaldo singing his heart out.

Seriously this guy needs to just stick to soccer and modeling. I'd rather listen to Sanjaya than listen to Ronaldo sing... OK, not really both suck and I'd rather hear Barry Manilow jams than this guy. Well, to be honest this is just a gag and I think it's pretty funny that Ronaldo would let everyone see how much he sucks at singing. You can read about the gag on: http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/view/102923/His-love-song-s-offside/

Crazy Skillz

I must admit that after watching the Audi Cup that it's still kind of weird for me not to see CR7 in a Manchester United uniform. So if there's anyone else out there like me, I give you some highlights of CR7 in action.

CR9 Scores His First For Real

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first goal for Real Madrid in a 4-2 victory over Liga de Quito in the Peace Cup on Tuesday.
Playing his third game for the Spanish powerhouse since his $131 million transfer from Manchester United, Ronaldo converted a 48th-minute penalty after being tripped in the area by defender Norberto Araujo.
The Portuguese star also set up the second goal in the 53rd.
Liga, whose coach Jorge Fossati was ejected from the bench for protesting the penalty award, scored in the 68th minute when Enrique Vera headed the ball in from close range.
Defender Christoph Metzelder headed Madrid’s third goal from Granero’s corner 3 minutes later. Ronaldo was replaced soon after by Lassana Diarra.
Vera doubled his tally in the 87th with a powerful header. Another substitute and Madrid newcomer Alvaro Negredo sealed the win in injury time.
Madrid will face Juventus in Seville on Friday in the semifinals of the 12-team offseason tournament. The final will take place on Sunday.
With Madrid needing to win at a half-full Santiago Bernabeu Stadium to advance, new Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini picked an offensive lineup. Ronaldo was joined by another newcomer, Karim Benzema, along with Robben and Gonzalo Higuain.
Kaka, the second most expensive signing in Madrid’s $300 million spending spree since Florentino Perez regained the presidency last month, was not considered. He started training with Madrid on Monday.

Fergie, C. Ron, and Owen

Words cannot describe this take on the transfer of Ronaldo to Real Madrid and Owen to ManU. Enjoy!

Security Guards Galore

After Monday's events where fans rushed the pitch to see Ronaldo, Real Madrid has hired an additional 3 bodyguards specifically for CRon. Check the video below to see the event. The real question is whether or not the body guards will keep him away from Paris?

CR-9 Unveiled

Cristiano Ronaldo received a roaring welcome from 80,000 Real Madrid fans following his record transfer from Manchester United.
Ronaldo appeared before the capacity crowd at Santiago Bernabeu on Monday wearing the same No. 9 jersey worn by Real Madrid great Alfredo di Stefano. Ronaldo told the fans he has achieved one of his dreams, then led the crowd in a cry of “Viva Madrid!”
Real Madrid had been chasing the world player of the year since 2006. The team finally signed him in a $131 million deal.
Fans had begun lining up outside the stadium since early morning, hoping to catch a glimpse of Ronaldo.

Cash Money

Real Madrid have officially signed Cristiano Ronaldo on a six-year deal worth 93 million euros, the Spanish giants announced Friday.
Former Manchester United forward Ronaldo is set to earn 13 million euros a year with Real, thus becoming the world's highest-paid footballer.
A statement on the offical website of Real Madrid said: "Real Madrid CF and Manchester United have signed the definitive agreement for the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo to the Spanish club on 1 July.
"The player will stay at Real Madrid for six seasons."
Ronaldo's deal will see him move ahead of current soccer salary king, Inter Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who currently earns 12 million euros a year.
Ronaldo, 24, had been on around 7.5 million euros a year at Old Trafford.
Portuguese international Ronaldo will officially become a Real player on July 1 and is set to be unveiled by the nine-times European champions on Monday July 6.
Ronaldo is set to become the centrepiece of the new Real as newly-elected president Florentino Perez bids to get the club reacquainted with their former glory days on the European stage.
Perez was in charge when Real's team of 'Galacticos', including Zinedine Zindane, Roberto Carlos and David Beckham, starred for the Santiago Bernabeu side.
Real have also signed Brazilian forward Kaka and had recently been linked to Bayern Munich's French forward Franck Ribery. Is this money well spent? Will he make a splash in Spain? Who's running out and buying his jersey? Do you think the whole Galactico's idea is a good thing for football?
