No showboating here, the skills on display are sublime and masterful – receiving the long pass on top of his foot to set up his first goal, chipping neatly over the keeper for his second.  It looks like all the skill with none of the bagagge – is this the late arrival of world class maturity?

What do you think: Is Ronaldo’s return for real?  Will a newfound maturity return him to the Brazilian National Team?  Could he feature in World Cup 2010 in South Africa?
