Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho meet with FIFA - 31st August 2010

The fifa inspection team visited the Real Madrid training ground today to examine Spain/Portugal's joint bid to host the 2018 or 2022 world cup.

The group which included Harold Mayne-Nicholls went to the Spanish Sports Council Headquarters and the IFEMA complex before going to the training ground and meeting with Jose Mourinho, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka who according to Real Madrid's official website were doing recovery exercises after their injuries.

Jose Mourinho apparently told the inspectors that the grounds were perfect as a training center for up to four teams as Inter Milan and Bayern Munich trained there before the Champions League final and they never saw each other.

After the tour, sports minister for spain Jaime Lissavetzky said that it was "very positive," and FIFA gave were particularly happy with its infrastructure and security.

Real Madrid vs Mallorca - 29th August 2010

Last night Real Madrid played against Mallorca in the first game of the season and to say it was an underwhelming game is an understatement!

Both teams failed to set the field alight resulting in a goalless draw although there was no lack of attempt from either team with both resorting to dirty tactics in attempts the get the ball from the opponant

Cristiano Ronaldo certainly played hard last night with his frustration and effort evident from the get go. He attempted (but failed) to score on numerous occasions.

Two real madrid players (one of them Cristiano) suffered from dirty tackles from the Mallorca team. He was seen during the match to have hurt his ankle after being tackled although he continued playing.

Within hours of the match ending Real Madrid confirmed that Cristiano suffered from a contusion (severe bruising) on his ankle and this morning they confirmed that he would be unable to play for approximetly three weeks.

As usual there is a video below of Cristiano's highlights

PICS TO COME IN THE GALLERY SOON!

Real Madrid vs Penarol - Pre-season friendly: 24th August 2010

First of all I have to apologise for not updating recently. Since Sunday night I have had no access to the Internet so i'm really really sorry but it was unavoidable. It won't happen again.

Last night Cristiano Ronaldo and his Real Madrid teammates played against Penarol in their final friendly of the pre-season winning 2-0 securing their fifth win and remaining undefeated

It is fair to say that it was not the best match for Cristiano as although he played well he had some tough treatment from the Penarol backline and his anger boiled up at the end of the first half.

He kicked out at a Penarol defender, an act that could have given him a red card if it was a league game, and then he almost came close to blows with Egidio Arevalo after the Uruguayan touched his hair. He came off the pitch not long before the game ended.

If you missed the match you can see highlights of Cristiano in the video below

Cristiano Ronaldo & Irina Shayk at basketball game in Madrid - 22nd August 2010

It looks like the recent allegations made against Cristiano saying that he was sending sexy texts behind Irina's back hasn't affected the happy couple!

The couple were seen today with Cristiano's sister Katia attending a basketball match between Spain and the US in Madrid.


Cristiano took to his twitter and facebook pages today to deny the claims that he had been cheating on his russian girlfriend saying "Another weekend and some more unnecessary press. If you want to know me, trust in what I write, not in all the stories written every day. I don't understand the need for this"

Their relationship seems to be hotting up if Irina's meeting the family! Cristiano's mother previously admitted that he had only ever introduced two of his girlfriends to her so they must be getting serious!

Come on girls! However much we may want to stab Irina in the eyes with a fork screaming "He's mine bitch!" We have to admit that Cristiano isn't ours and however jealous we may be we just have to accept that fact and be happy that he's happy! Say it with me "Cristiano Ronaldo is not my boyfriend" "Cristiano Ronaldo is not my boyfriend"

I know it hurts! I feel the pain too :( lol
