Cristiano Ronaldo World Cup betting

Cristiano Ronaldo first playef for amateur side Andorinha in Portugal and then transferred to Nacional after two years. After two years with Nacional he joined Sporting Lisbon which is where he started to make a name for himself as one of the most promising players in the game.

Within one season Ronaldo progressed from the U16s, U17s, U18s, B Team and then played for the first team, becoming the first player to do all that in one season. On his debut for Sporting Lisbon he scored twice and soon became a key component in the side.

In the summer of 2003 Man Utd played Sporting Lisbon in a friendly and came up against Ronaldo. After the game many senior plays urged Sir Alex Ferguson to sign the winger and Man Utd parted with just over £12m to secure his services. In his first two seasons at Man Utd he showed signs of brilliance and scored nine goals .

In the 05/06 season Ronaldo hinted at his great goalscoring ability by scoring nine league goals and the following season he really came alive, scoring seventeen goals and being recognised with awards such as PFA Players' Player Of The Year, PFA Young Player Of The Year and the PFA Fans Player Of The Year.

Over the next two seasons at Man Utd Ronaldo managed an amazing forty nine league goals, he picked up the 07-08 European Golden Shoe (the first winger to do so), the 2008 Ballon d'Or and the 2009 Fifa World Player Of The Year.

In the summer of 2009 Ronaldo made a world record £80m move to Real Madrid. Despite two sendings off in his first season he still showed he could score plenty of goals in another of the World's top leagues, he averaged almost a goal a game in the league.

Cristiano Ronaldo Golden Boot odds

Cristiano Ronaldo has proved himself not only a great player for club and country, but also a great goalscorer and the main thing holding him back seems to be Portugal's poor form and lack of goals. If Portugal pick up their form he is bound to be a major player both for the World Cup Golden Boot and for the Player Of The Tournament award.
