We spent the majority of the 90 minutes with the ball in our half, relying heavily on our defenders to keep the ball out than we were on our attackers to score. This is of course going to have a detrimental effect on Ronaldo’s game.3. His age Ronaldo joined United when he was just 18 years old, however at the end of his first season scored a goal in the FA Cup final. Since being handed the number seven shirt, giving a dazzling performance in his debut against Bolton, and introducing stepovers at a frequency we’d never seen in our league before, expectations have been high. However, it’s easy to forget just how young he is.Aged 23, Eric Cantona was being loaned out to Bordeaux after failing to settle at Marseille.
Aged 23, Zinedine Zidane was playing in the French second division. Aged 23, Marco Van Basten had just made a move from Ajax to AC Milan, but he couldn’t get in the team. Aged 23, Rivaldo was still learning his trade at Palmeiras.Aged 23, Ronaldo is being hailed by most as the best player in the world, has already won two League titles, has won both domestic cups in England, scored in two Cup finals, has for the second year running collected a clean sweep of the English individual player awards, and has been voted second and third best in Europe and the world.Does he still have room for improvement? Of course, every player does, but the people who get hung up on this “big game player” nonsense are failing to recognise what is most important.If I had the choice between a 41 goals in 48 games winger, or a player who amazed in just the big games, my pick is all too obvious. Given the massive improvements Ronaldo makes in his game from one season to the next, I can’t rule out him one day playing to a similar standard against Barcelona as he does against Bolton.But for now, I’m more than happy with how he plays, in the big games and otherwise!.

Go Spurs Go!!Of course, that is my chant being from San Antonio. But will they pull off Game 7? My gut feeling tells me they won't, but it wouldn't be the first time they would surprise me I mean, they are still known as the NBA Champions. They have the talent, they know how it's done, but do they have the fire? The Spurs really have to want it.
They have to believe and see their shots falling with each shot made. They do it at home, so what's the difference from hitting a basket at home or away? As the song goes that my boys like, "Get Your Head in the Game." And just do it!I know this isn't really an article, it's just my thoughts. I don't know much about fouls, but I really love the game. Well as long as the Spurs are in it, if they get knocked out, well I guess that is it.So you can say I'm really not that big of a basketball fan, since I don't follow all the games. But who knows? Maybe one day I will be like the many fans who watch all the games, no matter who is in them.So what are your thoughts? Who will it be in the NBA Finals?Just give us a piece of your mind!.
