Christiano Ronaldo (oops Cristiano!) is one of my favourite soccer players of all time. When in top form his speed and grace on the ball really does set him apart from the rest.

Although he has a bad reputation for diving or being a little too delicate, Christiano does appear to be cleaning up his act and is currently leading Manchester United on a charge in the English Premier League.

I look forward to see him playing at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, where he will be playing for Portugal. As per Germany 2006, the 2010 World Cup will feature some of the best football and I'm sure Christiano will feature amongst the top players in the world.
