Figo predicts Ronaldos will shine at World Cup

Portugal star Luis Figo predicts the three Ronaldos -- Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid's Ronaldo and Barcelona's Ronaldinho -- will shine at the World Cup in Germany later this year.

"I believe Cristiano Ronaldo will shine because he is very good," Portuguese sports daily Record quoted the Inter Milan as saying on Wednesday.

"Ronaldo too because he always shines during big tournaments and Ronaldinho also because he is enjoying a very good phase of his career," he added.

Barcelona's 25-year-old Brazilian midfielder won his second straight FIFA World Player of the Year award in December. Born Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, he was dubbed Ronaldinho -- which is Portuguese for "little Ronaldo" -- as a way to distinguish himself from fellow Brazilian footballer Ronaldo of Real Madrid.

Brazil lead FIFA's world rankings and is favoured to win its record sixth World Cup title.
