Cristiano Ronaldo - I'm Back

Player ProfileName: Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos AveiroBorn: Madeira, PortugalNationality: PortugalPosition: Winger, StrikerDOB: 5/2/1985Current Club: Manchester United (England)Cristiano Ronaldo has just about exhausted all superlatives, except to say that having developed and matured from a young and inexperienced winger when he joined from Sporting Lisbon in 2003, he's now among the best and most dynamic attacking forces in the world.Signed as a largely unknown 18-year-old for £12.24m, the story goes that Sir Alex was persuaded to sign him by his players on the plane home from a pre-season friendly against Sporting that summer. In truth, the boss had long been aware of his ability. The urgency to sign him stemmed from interest from other top European clubs. This was a target Sir Alex simplycouldn't let slip through the net.Ronaldo wasted little time in showing off his sublime skills with a stunning 30-minute debut against Bolton at Old Trafford in August 2003. After 39 appearances and eight goals -- including the opener in the FA Cup final win over Millwall -- he was named the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year for 2003/04. His second season never quite lived up to his first. But some late season form saw him end the 2004/05 campaign with nine goals in 50 appearances. In 2005/06 Ronny again reserved his best form for the latter half of the season. Then came the 2006 World Cup finals in Germany, a truly defining moment. In the quarter finals against England, Cristiano was blamed for Wayne Rooney's sending off, the scapegoat for England's exit. Some wondered if he would even return to Manchester. But Sir Alex's calming words assured him. After all, it'd happened before with Eric Cantona in 1995 and David Beckham in 1998. The best players respond to adversity, and he did just that.United's title success in 2006/2007 was undoubtedly a team effort, but one player was central to almost every major plotline. It began with the barnstorming 5-1 win over Fulham -- Ronaldo and Rooney running the show and very publicly rubbishingclaims the two were at odds. Dazzling wing-play was backed with regular assists and crucial goals, including seven in five games over Christmas.His form in the 2006/2007 season brought Ronaldo 14 individual awards and, despite interest from other clubs, he extended his contract until 2012. The winger's performances also earned him third place in the 2007 FIFA World Player of the Year. Ronaldo somehow continues to improve and in 2007/2008, he scored his first United hat-trick and his 50th league goal for the club in a 6-0 romp over Newcastle on the way to netting a staggering 42 goals. sex and love max graham philips new Cristiano Ronaldo - UCL Final 2008 messi kaka pato rooney nani nesta lampard Goals Tricks SkillsFreestyle Power Ability Manchester United drogbaC.Ronaldo scored 3 Goals against Newcastlemore tags:Arsenal, Aston Villa, Blackburn Rovers, Birmingham City, Bolton, Chelsea, Derby County, Everton, Fulham, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Middlesbrough, Newcastle United, Portsmouth, Reading, Sunderland, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, Wigan Athletic.manchester united, sporting lisbon, portugal, english premier league, skills, goals, rabona hocus pocus, sent off rooney, world cup, CR7, CR17, amazing goal, joga bonito, champions league, carling cup league cup, fa cup, skillz, freekick, penalty, bbc motd, skysports, setanta sports, itv sport, nike vapor, rooney, nani, tevez, giggs, alex ferguson, pfa player of the year, pfa young player of the year. #3 - Mais comentados (este mês) - Esportes - Reino Unido#75 - Mais comentados (este mês) - Esportes - Global#86 - Mais respondidos (Hoje) - Reino Unido#73 - Mais respondidos (esta semana) - Reino Unido#33 - Mais vistos (este mês) - Reino UnidoThe best video I have ever made of Cristiano Ronaldo 07-08 Season, all tricks and skills.

The Belmont Stakes Report with Catherine Cronenberg

Catherine Cronenbergfrom http://www.GamblersTelevision.com Last Tuesday all eyes were on Big Brown's final major workout leading up to the colt's Belmont Stakes on Saturday. The Preakness and Kentucky Derby champion breezed over the Belmont surface in 1 minute flat for 5 furlongs. Trainer Richard Dutrow couldn't be happier after the workout. Big Brown tested his quarter-crack in his left-front hoof and was able to sport a fast workout. Dutrow commented that he saw no issue at all with Big Brown and boasted how he felt his horse was still the best in the race. Exercise rider Michell Nevin reported Big Brown to be very strong in his workout. Nevin rode the Belmont Stakes favorite for his final major workout. Post positions were drawn for the third jewel of the Triple Crown and Big Brown will start in post position number 1. The one post has faired well in the Belmont. It produced 23 winners in the past, ten more than the third and fifth post that is tied for the second most winners. Stamina is an important factor in the 1-½ mile race and the quickest way around the track is on the inside. Big Brown should benefit from the 1 hole and with only a 10-horse field should have no excuses if he is not good enough. Big Brown has been listed at the 2 to 5 favorite in the race.For the latest Belmont news, notes and future book odds check out our website at www.GamblersTelevision.com

What was Big Brown thinking?
The Belmont Stakes proved to be an incredible bust for Big Brown, who won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness only to fall short in the third leg of the Triple Crown. What was very odd about the whole deal was how the horse wasn't able to kick into his "extra gear" around the third turn of the Belmont.
