Bit annoying that Ronaldinho has basically been semi-retired for the last 4 years. He's only 32 now ffs, should still be running a midfield for a European giant yet he was finished by the time the supposed peak years came round.
Such a waste.
Ronaldinho, Neymar, Luis Fabiano, Paulinho all flew in two days ago from Brazil after having played domestic games. I don't think it's a matter of being fucked to run around, it's more a fact of lack of energy and for Ronaldinho it's a matter of being fuck old and a cunt.
Why are you slating Ronaldinho? Your genius of a manager that you named your account after is the one that thinks its a good idea to pick him in 2013.
Isn't BAE's contract situation up in the air, and Vertonghen/Naughton have been playing left back this season?
There's probably a slot open to him at Spurs.
Err, not really.
Wearing diamond encrusted watches and walking through a crime-ridden, poverty-stricken neighborhood might be a poor choice. But the guy was outside his own home.
You've not been to Birmingham then.
I'm not saying he deserves it or that criminal activity is in any way excusable, but society is shit and this kind of stuff happens. I've been in rough areas before where I'll hide my phone in my deepest pockets and not make calls on it.
There's a cracking documentary about his time with Lazio on Youtube. He was desperately unlucky with injuries, even if sometimes it was caused by his own stupidity.
Wasn't around to see him play but from what I can tell Gazza's heart was always in the right place, he says in that documentary that he regrets blowing most of his money from his bumper contract at Lazio. Not on himself, but sending it back to family and friends. Just a bloke who loved football and had little else to fall back on.
I can see the side of the argument where people struggle to to have sympathy though, especially when you consider the amount of chances he's had and the amount of people who've tried to help him. Be surprised if he reaches 50.
Their "golden generation" were all 12 year olds by then. They're doing well now, gelling as a team and their players are proving their potential at far higher levels.
They have to get over the hurdle of actually qualifying for a major tournament before you even begin to rate them higher than Italy, Holland, France or Argentina. Insane levels of football hipsterness the Belgium bumming.
They're not even as good as England.
