M4 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Brazil's Ronaldo to quit in 2011 http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/47353000/jpg/_47353565_ronaldo2.jpg Two-time World Cup winner Ronaldo has announced he will retire from professional football at the end of next year. The Brazilian, regarded as one of the best footballers ever, has spent most of his career in Europe but will end it with Corinthians in his homeland. "I've already made up my mind - these will be my last two," said the striker. Ronaldo, 33, has scored 62 goals in 97 appearances for Brazil and hopes to be in squad for this summer's World Cup. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8529228.stm Is there a realistic chance he'll make it to the World Cup this Summer? Hope so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPL Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 One of the best players in my lifetime without a doubt. The way he use to just take the ball around the keeper with ease and then cooly slotting it in the empty net was awesome! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
