#15 Ronaldo goal v Iran World Cup 2006
You'll always remember your first World Cup goal, even if it wasn't a great performance from you personally. Cristiano Ronaldo's first World Cup campaign with Portugal ended with them losing to France in the semi-final and eventually finishing fourth. Ronaldo may remember it fondly for his first-ever World Cup goal though.

He stepped up to take a penalty ahead of illustrious team-mate and then Portugal's number 7 Luis Figo. Ronaldo converted from the spot to add his name to a list of Portugal's best who had all scored on the big stage. It was the beginning of a long relationship with the national team that has seen him become their talisman over a period of time.
It was in the same campaign that Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney had the spat when their nations faced each other on the pitch. That incident will live longer in public memory, but Ronaldo's goal against Iran will be special to him.
