Ronaldo unveiled by Corinthians


Former Brazil striker Ronaldo has been unveiled by Sao Paulo-based outfit Corinthians as the club's new signing.

The 32-year-old, who left AC Milan last June, has fought back from a serious knee injury, making his comeback in a charity match in Morocco last month.

India cancels T20 Champions League

The inaugural six-million dollar Twenty20 Champions League has been cancelled and will now be held in India in October next year, organisers said on Friday.

The tournament, featuring the top eight Twenty20 domestic teams from Australia, South Africa, India, England and Pakistan, was initially due to be held from December 3-10 in Mumbai, Chennai and Bangalore.

It was put off after last month's terror strikes in Mumbai and was expected to be held in January, but has now been postponed again until next October.

The decision to cancel the tournament this year was taken "after considering all aspects, including the international calendar and the domestic schedules of the participating teams", a statement from the organisers said.

Ronaldo gets hands on Ballon d'Or


Ronaldo scored a remarkable 42 goals for Man Utd last season
Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo was handed the prestigious European Player of the Year award in a televised ceremony on Sunday.

Accompanied to Paris by United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, Ronaldo collected the Ballon d'Or - golden ball - trophy from France Football magazine.
"I've been playing for Manchester for five years - I feel at home," said the 23-year-old Ronaldo.

"I'm happy at Manchester and want to stay."
During the summer Ronaldo was linked with a move to Real Madrid after a season in which he scored 42 goals for United as Ferguson's side won the Premier League and the Champions League.

"I'm an ambitious person. I don't want it to stop here," said Ronaldo reflecting on his success. "I think we have to keep trying to win trophies, collectively and individually. I'm on the right track.
"It's always special to reach this level, the important thing is to stay there. The idea is to keep progressing, collectively and individually as well.

"Without my team I couldn't have won it, and I have to thank them also."

Ronaldo was the first United player to win the award since George Best in 1968 and Ferguson predicted the best was yet to come from the Portuguese forward.

"It's a long time since we won one, 40 years ago," said Ferguson. "Of course, he's only 23. He's only just beginning. When players get to 26 they start to mature."
