Drawing a crowd of over 18,000 fans, Cristiano Ronaldo joined his Real Madrid squad for practice at BMO Field in Toronto, Canada on Thursday (August 6).
Preparing ahead of tonight’s match, the Portugese soccer stud looked a bit upset after almost injuring his ankle during a day which also saw a crazy fan run onto the field and try to attack players from Real Madrid before being taken down by security.
As for Ronaldo’s new team, coach Manuel Pellegrini has high expectations with the big acquisitions – as he believes Real Madrid will challenge for all three titles.
“We have got a great squad and now we have to prove it,” Pellegrini wrote on the club’s official Web site.
He added, “We have two objectives, to try and win three competitions at the same time (Primera Liga, Kings Cup and Champions League) and also for the fans to enjoy the football that we play. We have a chance of winning all three titles.”
For someone that has an eerie obsession with Sarah Palin, this would seem like a good buy. An Xbox 360 autographed by the former Governor of Alaska hit ebay with a starting price of $1.1 million dollars. Shipping was an overpriced $75 dollars.
The costly console (a standard Pro model, by the way, normally retailing for $299.99) was purportedly signed by Palin at the Wasilla Governor's Picnic on July 24, 2009 (just two days before Palin's resignation). And if the price is right, the listing claims "you can own this 60GB, perfect-condition, one-of-a-kind item before her expected run for president of the United States of America in 2012." Well played, eBay lister, well played.
The item seems to be authentic as the lister included an image of him presenting the Xbox to Palin for her signature.
