Cristiano Ronaldo - Portugal national team:

    Cristiano Ronaldo first played for Portugal U-18 and U21. Cristiano Ronaldo made his international debut in August 2003, against the national team of Kazakhstan. He scored Portugal's only goal in their 2-1 loss to Greece in the opening match of Euro 2004 and a goal in the semifinal against the Netherlands, a match that Portugal won 2-1. The final saw a rematch of the opening game of the tournament, and again, Greece was victorious. Cristiano Ronaldo was the youngest player in the team.

    Cristiano Ronaldo represented Portugal at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and was the second highest scorer in FIFA World Cup qualification in the European zone with 7 goals. As of 12 december 2006, he has scored 15 goals in 43 appearances for his country.

    Ronaldo scored his first World Cup goal against Iran with a penalty kick.

    In the Round of 16, he left Portugal's 1-0 win over Netherlands injured after a high tackle by Khalid Boulahrouz.

    Cristiano Ronaldo is viewed in Portugal as the next Figo and is considered as a very talented new generation soccer player, who can play each position in the offensive centre zone.
