Apart from being very dishy his little tricks are fabulous.
He always looks like he's loving every minute of it.

He does enjoy the game but he dives too often.

NO...

NO. He wants to play if they make him the world's richest player.

Oh come on - it's magic the way he teases the others.
He's terrific! And I'm no United (or Portugal) fan.

Still NO and dishy only in a slimy oily Gaspacho a Alentejana type of way....

Can't stand the man, I'm afraid, JK. Still, each to his own. I wouldn't deny his undoubted footballing talents though. Grudgingly.

Well if we've got to choose between John Terry or Frank Lampard and Cristiano with his shirt off....

The English player I enjoy watching the most is Darren Huckerby. It was an wonderful moment when he scored a hat trick for England B team. I recall when England were due to play France, one of the French team said that the English player they feared the most was Darren Huckerby. He cuts through any defence, and he still gave the Chelsea players a lot of trouble at the weekend, even though he's put on a few years. Unfortunately he would never have been picked for the main England team because he's never played for one of the favoured clubs. So, the French breathed easy and beat England on that occasion.

I'm not a big soccer fan (prefer the US Football and FAR prefer baseball) but I do love to watch a great player.

My favourite was Zinedine Zidane. I loved Beckham's best passes and kicks. And I chuckle with delight at Ronaldo's nifty footwork.

I think Rooney is incredible when on form.

Bearing in mind that when football is mentioned I wonder if it's Association or Rugby; this may be another person entirely...

Ronaldinho

Actually thats a fascinating figurine Zoo.
I couldnt give it house room as the dog would go for it, she simply hates horses with caricatured royalty faces on them;)

I thought Rooney showed incredible maturity in the farcicle game last night and Alex Ferguson really was the "Daddy". If my lip-reading did not fail me, he said "Don`t get involved", at the near fracas at the end of the match, to his players.
Rinaldo fell over the ball wonderfully as usual.

Which brings me back neatly to the dog....
