Cristiano Ronaldo enjoys getting the better of Lionel Messi

By Telegraph Sports

Cristiano Ronaldo is among the top 10 most valuable athlete brands in the world, but there’s no place for Lionel Messi in the list.

According to Forbes, which put together the rankings, ‘Athlete brand values’ are the amount by which endorsement income exceeds the average endorsement income earned by the top 10 earning athletes in the same sport during the past year.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the footballer with the biggest brand

Essentially, it’s all relative.

Ronaldo comes in at number 8 in the top 10, with a brand value of $16 m (10.4m), while Tiger Woods is at number 1 (£19.5m), followed by Phil Mickelson (£18.2m), Roger Federer (£17.5m) and LeBron James (£17.5m).

Tiger Woods has the highest brand value

Indian cricketer MS Dhoni is fifth (£14m) , while Usain Bolt and Kevin Durant (£12m) tie for sixth place. Rory McIlroy (£8m) is just below Ronaldo in ninth place, and Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather will surely be devastated with his lowly 10th position (£7.5m).

As well as individuals, the ‘Forbes Fab 40’ also takes in the 10 most valuable sports brands in the fields of businesses, events and teams.

Nike tops the business category, with a massive value of £17bn, followed by ESPN (£11bn) and Adidas (£4bn). Sky Sports comes in at fifth with a value of £3bn.

The top 10 most valuable teams are predominantly American franchises, but Real Madrid (£301m), Manchester United (£289), Barcelona (£283) and Bayern Munich (£243m) all feature, with Real placing fifth, and ranking as the most valuable football team.

Manchester United are one of the top 10 teams

The Super Bowl (£375m) leads the most valuable events table, followed by the Summer Olympics (£225m) and then the Winter Olympics (£185m). The World Cup (£149m) is the leading football event, claiming fourth spot, with the Champions League (£82m) down at eighth.

This being an American list, there’s a slightly dubious ‘sporting’ entry at number five – the WWE event WrestleMania (£110m).

Fruits and foods that can help you whiten your teeth Naturally.

List Of Foods That Help Whiten Your Teeth Naturally

Unless you grew up with parents who took care of your teeth very well, taught you how to take care of your teeth and foods (and drinks) that cause damages to your teeth, you may have one or two problems with your teeth as you grow up. This may be occasional tooth ache, enamel erosion, decay and discoloration of the teeth.

Even if your parents took care of your teeth very well, as we age, out teeth tend to lose some of its whiteness and starting having discolouration. The once white teeth may now become slightly yellow due to foods that we have exposed it to. Several foods are very bad for the teeth and some ofthese foods go as far as wearing out the enamel of your teeth. This makes you feel some pain when you drink cold water or brush in the morning.

Let us leave that and go to the topic of the day. In as much as we have to avoid eating foods such as beverages like tea, dark sodas, and fruit juices that stain teeth to stop further discoloration, there are foods we should eat too to help us remove the stains already there naturally.

Foods That Can Whiten Your Teeth For You – Home Remedy

1. Strawberries

Strawberries are red in color but they have a component that helps your teeth get whiter. This component is called Malic acid, it acts as a natural astringent to remove surface tooth discoloration. You may want to start eating more of this. Recall that we also told you that strawberries and sone foods together can serve as anti-ageing foods too.

Some people even use this fruit by mashing it up and leaving on their teeth for 5 minutes before rinsing it away. This gives the teeth more exposure time to the malic acid but that means wasting the strawberry by not eating it.

2. Apples

When we eat apple, it triggers lots of saliva saliva to be secreted into the mouth cavity. The saliva helps wash away food debris on our teeth neutralizes the acid that causes tooth decay, if we have it in our mouth. Other fruits that do these are carrots, celeries and pear.

3. Oranges and pineapples

Consuming tart fruits like oranges and pineapples may help cause the release of more saliva in the mouth. This helps to wash teeth clean naturally but beware of using lemons directly on your teeth. They have acids and too much acidity acidity can damage teeth.

4. Baking Soda

Many people know baking soda to have only one function that its name suggests – baking. Many do not know that it has non-food function like whitening of teeth. I have tried this with great success and unlike the fruits mentioned above, which take time before you start noticing result, you can actually notice a difference after washing your teeth with baking soda a couple of times.

Baking soda also has some other functions ingetting rid of that burning sensation in the chest after eating (heartburn). It has also been reportedly used in cooking beans such that you don’t pass gas or fart after eating such beans. Therefore, this food ingredient can serve many purposes as we might have noticed.

We should however be careful in using too much of it as it contains too much salt. 

5. Cheese

Well, maybe that is the reason we say cheese before we take those photograph. This food will give you more reasons to shout its name if you start eating it. Cheese can help keep your teeth strong with minerals, such as calcium and phosphorus, and protein that protects tooth enamel. 

Also, hard cheese helps clean your teeth by stimulating saliva.

Dr Anthony Zybutz, from Harley Street’s TDC Implant Centre said and I quote;

The desire for pearly white teeth is certainly not a modern phenomenon.

Pharaohs 4,000 years ago are known to have combined ground pumice stone with vinegar to create a paste in an effort to restore the natural colour.

If pumice stone and vinegar sounds unpleasant, the Romans had an even more unusual technique.

The Romans also developed their own techniques, sometimes using goats’ milk, but more adventurously, often gargling with urine. There was a logic to that idea though, because the ammonia created a bleaching effect.

Conclusively, I would say every one would like to have their teeth whiter and that there are faster ways to whiten your teeth by using some whitening toothpaste and seeing your dentist for cleaning and sometimes scaling or whatever they call it.

From Arsene Wenger to Jose Mourinho: What Premier League managers looked like as players

Look at some of the hair on show here (Picture: Panini)

Seeing Premier League managers in their suits dishing out orders most weekends – it’s easy to forget that they were once young footballers.

All the current managers in the Prem have enjoyed some sort of a career, from the great heights Roland Koeman and Mark Hughes achieved, to the lowly levels Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho played at.

So, told a series of Panini stickers, here’s what all the Prem bosses looked like in their playing days – warning – there’s some crackers in there.

1. Arsene Wenger – Arsenal

A defensive midfielder who could play centre back, Wenger played for French minnows AS Mutzig and Mulhouse before eventually playing for home town club RC Strasbourg in his peak.

2. Tim Sherwood – Aston Villa

A talented central midfielder who started at Watford but went on to Norwich and then Blackburn where he won the Premier League title, before an infamous stint with Tottenham.

3. Eddie Howe – Bournemouth

Howe was a diminutive defender who had two successful stints as a player with Bournemouth – either side of a disastrous spell with Portsmouth.

4. Jose Mourinho – Chelsea

An amazing manager but he had a lowly career as a central midfielder for clubs like Rio Ave, Belenenses, Sesimbra and Comercio e Industria (who?).

5. Alan Pardew – Crystal Palace

Another midfield man, handsome Pards played in the lower leagues for ages before graduating and playing for Charlton, Tottenham and Crystal Palace.

6. Roberto Martinez – Everton

Despite his suave ways, Martinez was a battling holding midfielder who played in the lower leagues for Wigan and Swansea and Walsall after starting out with Real Zaragoza.

7. Claudio Ranieri – Leicester City

What a handsome devil. Ranieri was a defender for Roma, Catanzaro, Catania and then Palermo in a so-so playing career.

8. Brendan Rodgers – Liverpool

The Liverpool manager probably had the lowest profile career, playing as a defender for Ballymena United, Newport, Witney Town and Newbury Town before retiring and going into coaching.

9. Manuel Pellegrini – Manchester City

A one-club man, Pellegrini played out all his career for Universidad de Chile as a centre back, making 471 appearances. Legend.

10. Louis van Gaal – Manchester United

Van Gaal started out at Ajax but didn’t play any games, before moving to Antwerp in Belgium to start his career. He ended up returning to Holland and playing mostly for Sparta Rotterdam

11. Steve McClaren – Newcastle United

Steve McClaren began his career at Hull and enjoyed a successful spell there as a midfielder. He went on to have spells at Derby, Lincoln, Bristol City and Oxford but it was at Hull where he really thrived.

12. Alex Neil – Norwich City

Only 34 and fresh faced, Neil only retired in January after being a player-manager at Hamilton, where he played 211 times. Before that he played in England with Barnsley and Mansfield.

13. Ronald Koeman – Southampton

A centre back who played in midfield at times, Koeman had an incredible career after starting at Groningen, he went on to play for Ajax, PSV, Barcelona and Feyenoord – winning many trophies.

14. Mark Hughes – Stoke City

A class forward, Hughes began at Man United and earned moves to Barcelona and Bayern Munich before returning to United and ended up a legend. He finished his career with stints at Chelsea, Southampton, Everton and Blackburn.

15. Dick Advocaat – Sunderland

A midfielder or defender, Advocaat started in Holland but had several spells in America in a journeyman career.

16. Garry Monk – Swansea City

A bruising centre back, Monk started at Torquay before moving to Southampton, where he then spent years on-loan before finally settling at Swansea and retiring in 2014 to become manager.

17. Mauricio Pochettino – Tottenham

Pochettino was a hard but committed central defender. He enjoyed three spells at Espanyol after leaving Argentina, while he also played for PSG (long before the big money arrived).

18. Quique Sanchez Flores – Watford

An all-action right-back, Flores played nearly 300 games for Valencia before two-year spell at Real Madrid at his peak. He finished up at Zaragoza.

19. Tony Pulis – West Brom

A powerful defender, Pulis came through the youth system at Bristol Rovers and had two spells at the club before moves to Newport, Bournemouth and Gillingham

20. Slaven Bilic – West Ham

A powerful defender, Bilic spent time in his homeland after coming through the Hajduk Split academy before a spell in Germany, and then moves to West Ham and Everton where he became a legendary figure.

Kim Kardashian, J.Lo, Beyoncé: Bare, Beauties, & Booties

Laia Garcia

If there’s one thing on everyone’s minds right now, it’s the booty. Songs about bootys, people’s bootys, summer bootys. At the Met Gala tonight, three queens — Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, and Beyoncé — showed off their famous bootys (and then some) in weirdly matching gowns. 

J.Lo, original queen of the revealing gown, trusted Versace to once more make a statement, and a statement she made in a sheer dress with a dragon appliquéd that wrapped all around her body (giving us major Bai Ling at the MTV Movie Awards vibes). 

Mrs. West, meanwhile, wowed with a sheer dress — inspired by the QUEEN of sheer dresses, Cher — fully decked out with white feathers, the first dress from designer Peter Dundas’ new post as Roberto Cavalli creative director. But while the designer pulled from the archive for his inspiration, many on social media are instead insinuating it’s very much Beyoncé at the Met Gala in 2012 wearing custom Givenchy by Ricardo Tisci. What goes around comes around, I suppose?  

And Beyoncé, who arrived at the Met late because she reportedly got in a fender-bender (talk about a fashionably late entrance), was in a custom sheer Givenchy gown yet again with strategically placed embroidered flowers throughout. 

These babes love their bodies, and we love their bodies too! There’s definitely room for everyone at this party but still, we can’t help but ask: Who wore it best?
