Ronaldo makes 100th Brazil appearance, says CBF

BERLIN, June 13 (Reuters) Ronaldo will make his 100th appearance for Brazil in their World Cup first-round match against Croatia today, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said on their official website.

However, the CBF's list of games includes several that were not full internationals.

These include a match against Spanish club Valencia in 1995, another against Spanish club Athletic Bilbao in 1998 and two against Catalonia in 2002 and 2004.

The list also includes last month's game against a team based on Swiss second division club FC Lucerne.

Ronaldo, who is playing in his fourth World Cup and was top scorer four years ago with eight goals, made his debut against Argentina in March 1994 as a 17-year-old.
