5 reasons why Cristiano Ronaldo is the most famous footballer on the planet

The most marketable exterior in football

#2 Has the highest rated IMDB football documentary in his name

His face is more recognised than the other footballers not named Beckham

If you are a footballer who has the highest rated IMDB football documentary, more people are bound to know about you. Being crowned the best footballer in the world might make Cristiano Ronaldo the most renowned name in Europe and South America, but it doesn’t make much of a difference in the United States since most of them don’t follow the game as much as the rest.

Indeed, their version of football is a group of muscular men wearing helmets and physically assaulting each other for the ball, which they can apparently touch with their hands. Most nation would call this game Rugby with protective gears, but not the US, though, as they do things the hipster way.

Hence, being a known face in the USA—one of the most commercially powerful countries in the world—is a little difficult for people who play actual football. But due to the fact that the Portuguese also happens to have a documentary on himself, his face is more recognised than the other footballers not named Beckham.
