A poster of Ronaldo showing him in his Jersey numbered 9. It's a Brazilian soccer tradition for stars to be known by their first name alone. Ronaldo's 1994 World Cup jersey read Ronaldinho to distinguish him from an older teammate with the same name. In the 2002 World Cup he had become the undisputed Ronaldo and was joined by a younger teammate who was called, in turn, Ronaldinho.
