ronaldo

ronaldo scored his 1st goal against japan, just before the first half was over. his 13th goal ever in the world cup. a crucial goal since it was the equaliser, japan was winning by 1-0. he was also among the best players in the first half, and has created another goal in the world cup so far, by passing to adriano (against australia). also scored a very important goal in the 2nd half with japan now, equalising the all time top scorer record in world cups (Gerd Muller - 14 goals). One more and his name will stay in football history for yet another reason. what do the critics have to say now? oh, i bet they'll find something new.

ronaldo is unfit, he's fat (!), he's on a bad curve in his career etc etc. but one fact remains: no matter what, he's still one of the greatest players active. and most of his critics around the world will probably not be so lucky as to see any of their national team players play as great, come back from severe injuries, and make football the beautiful spectacle that it is. backbiting their competition will never make theirs better teams than brasil. and that's why they'll always stay miserable and sore losers. :)

i'll keep cheering for ronaldo anyway.
