What a weekend of football news! First, Ronaldo scored a superb hat-trick at Old Trafford to become the highest goal scorer in football history! Tom Brady watches from the stands and 24 hours later announces he is coming out of retirement for his 23rd NFL season! Why not? If at 37 (basically 50 in NFL years) Ronaldo can still dazzle, then why can't Brady at 45? After all, he was almost MVP last season.
Ronaldo's best game of the year for Manchester United saw him score three excellent goals against the Spurs. Ronaldo's 805th, 806th, and 807th career goals saw him become FIFA's all-time goal scorer, edging past Austrian marksman Josef Bican who held the record for 80 years. Each goal was different from the other, aptly showcasing the range of talent that makes Ronaldo such a prolific scorer. The first was a swerving strike from 25 meters out. The next was a classic striker's goal, with Ronaldo deftly redirecting a cross in-front of goal. The third was a powerful header late in the 83rd minute to clinch an exciting 3-2 victory against the Spurs. The win pushed Man U into the fourth place in the EPL and kept them in the running for a place in Europe next season.
Well, in the stands was another football record holder.
