THE MOST FAMOUS PLAYER

CRISTIANO RONALDO is a famous of Portuguese.He was born on 5 February 1985.He plays as a winger or striker for Spanish La Liga club Real Madrid and is the captain of the Portuguese national team. Ronaldo is the most expensive player in football history after moving from Manchester United to Real Madrid in a transfer deal worth £80 million (€94m, US$132m). Ronaldo,s contract with Real Madrid that he is to be paid £11 million per year over the following six years, makes him the highest-paid football player in the world,and values him at €1 billion as per his buyout clause.
2010 World Cup
On 15 June 2010, in Portugal's opening World Cup match against Côte d'Ivoire, Ronaldo was tackled by right-back Guy Demel, which led to an argument and both being booked. The next day, Portugal contacted FIFA to suggest that Ronaldo's yellow card be rescinded since he was "pulled into" the confrontation after having already moved away from the spot where he was tackled, but the appeal was rejected.
Ronaldo failed to make an impact in the World Cup; after going scoreless in the qualifiers, his only goal came in Portugal's 7–0 group stage thrashing of North Korea on 21 June which marked his first international goal in 16 months.Portugal were ultimately eliminated by Spain in the Round of 16.
