RONALDO Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima born 18 September 1976), commonly known as Ronaldo, is a retired Brazilian footballer who last played for Corinthians. Ronaldo was one of the most prolific scorers in the world in the late 1990s and the early 2000s. He won his first Ballon d'Or as the European Footballer of the Year in 1997 (aged only 21) and again won the award in 2002 (26 years old). Additionally, he is one of only two men to have won the FIFA Player of the Year award three times, along with French footballer Zinedine Zidane.In 2007, he was named as one of the best starting eleven of all-time by France Football and was named to the FIFA 100, a list of the greatest footballers compiled by fellow countryman Pelé. In 2010, he was voted Goal.com's "Player of the Decade" in an online poll, gathering 43.63 percent of all votes and was also included as centre forward in the "Team of the Decade." On 23 February 2010, Ronaldo announced that he will retire after the 2011 season, signing a two-year contract extension with the Corinthians at the same time. He is widely considered by experts and fans as one of the greatest players of all time. Ronaldo has played for Brazil in 97 international matches, amassing 62 goals. He was a part of the Brazilian squad that won the 1994 and 2002 World Cups. During the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Ronaldo became the highest goalscorer in the history of the World Cup with his fifteenth goal, surpassing Gerd Müller's previous record of 14.Ronaldo retired on 14 February 2011.

Messi, Grain De Sable Pour Zidane
Sport / Sports Real-Barça Messi, grain de sable pour Zidane ©D. R. Il s'était égaré en Ligue des champions mais Lionel Messi a ressurgi dimanche dans le clasico de Liga (3-2) : un doublé, un 500e but avec Barcelone et un sacré grain de sable pour Zinedine Zidane. “ZZ” a, lui, raté ce grand rendez-vous pour la première fois qu'il est entraîneur du Real. Éliminé mercredi de l'épreuve-reine européenne, le Barça aurait pu tout perdre en l'espace d'une semaine, mais c'était compter sans Messi. Le quintuple Ballon d'or, resté stérile en huitièmes de C1 face au PSG (excepté un penalty) puis lors du quart perdu contre la Juve, a achevé sa traversée du désert au meilleur moment : au stade Santiago-Bernabeu, face à l'éternel rival merengue. Son doublé tout en virtuosité (33e, 90e+2) lui a permis de devenir le premier homme à atteindre la barre symbolique des 500 buts sous le maillot blaugrana. Surtout, l'Argentin a relancé un Barça moribond : le club catalan est à nouveau leader (75 pts) à la différence de buts particulière devant le Real (75 pts), avec le rêve d'un nouveau doublé Liga-Coupe du Roi, le troisième d'affilée. “Messi a tranché : la Liga reste en jeu”, a résumé le quotidien sportif Marca, le plus lu d'Espagne. “L'extase”, a titré le journal catalan Mundo Deportivo, “Saint Messi”, a osé son homologue Sport. Et tous ont salué l'immense prestation du petit lutin argentin, qui a répondu du tac au tac à Cristiano Ronaldo, devenu mardi dernier le premier joueur à dépasser les 100 buts en C1.

703 Prelims.P65
Football in France Global Sport Cultures Eds Gary Armstrong, Brunel University, Richard Giulianotti, University of Aberdeen, and David Andrews, The University of Maryland From the Olympics and the World Cup to extreme sports and kabaddi, the social significance of sport at both global and local levels has become increasingly clear in recent years. The contested nature of identity is widely addressed in the social sciences, but sport as a particularly revealing site of such contestation, in both industrialising and post-industrial nations, has been less fruitfully explored. Further, sport and sporting corporations are increasingly powerful players in the world economy. Sport is now central to the social and technological development of mass media, notably in telecommunications and digital television. It is also a crucial medium through which specific populations and political elites communicate and interact with each other on a global stage. Berg publishers are pleased to announce a new book series that will examine and evaluate the role of sport in the contemporary world. Truly global in scope, the series seeks to adopt a grounded, constructively critical stance towards prior work within sport studies and to answer such questions as: • How are sports experienced and practised at the everyday level within local settings? • How do specific cultures construct and negotiate forms of social stratification (such as gender, class, ethnicity) within sporting contexts? • What is the impact of mediation and corporate globalisation upon local sports cultures? Determinedly interdisciplinary, the series will nevertheless privilege anthropological, historical and sociological approaches, but will consider submissions from cultural studies, economics, geography, human kinetics, international relations, law, philosophy and political science.
