Zlatan Ibrahemovic is one of my favorite players, and has been, but i can find no traces of his home country anywhere...i'm pretty sure he's still playing for Juventus in the champions league, but i saw a video the other day of him "battling" cristiano ronaldo...sick!

You are so correct, especially about Ronaldo. I always thought soccer fans were much more loyal to their international stars when they were playing for their home country's Cup team (compared to fans from the USA and our traditional sports), but I was mistaken. He was definately their hero four years ago, and now they only talk about how fat he is. Short memories!

I am a big Borussia Dortmund fan!! I have heard these rumours and I am not sure how true they are. Dortmund has just signed two strikers over the summer transfer period and I am not sure if they may want another. However, with the lack of scoring in the last few games we played it might be another option, seeing how great Bravo is doing for Chivas. He might be lured by the opportunity of playing in Europe, but i really don't see this happening.

omg, you made me really depressed seeing that video. i agree, ronaldo is one of my ABSOLUTE favorites, i love him soo much, lol, its not even funny. :) HAHA. \nanyways, yes, that is a very sad video. seeing how he used to be... i REALLY hope he can bounce back. :) he's a legend & is the best in the world<3 :)\nits really sad, cause yeah, he used to be the fastest & best thing that ever hit soccer. and now... :( i hope he will recover quickly. i seriously will pray that he becomes how he used to be. i read this article the other day, it was from before the WC, and had like a mini bio on 4 soccer stars: veira, donovan (but i personally think he sucks, lol), someone i dont remember, & ronaldinho. it was all saying, that the reason they started calling him ronaldinho (cause lol, his real name is ronaldo something) in like '98 or '99 when he started, was because ronaldo was one the of the best in the world AT THAT TIME, and it pissed me off, i was just like "NO, HE'S STILL THE BEST!" lol. \nomg, that video was REALLY sad... omg, its REALLY depressing.... :( im mad at you for letting me watch that, lol just kidding. i love ronaldo, and i loved the video. :) thanks.\n\n\n\n*i remember i saw this game a while back, and it was of real madrid (back when zidane was in it) and ronaldo made a goal, and then him & zizou like, bumped eachother. LOL, i cant explain, but it was the cutest thing ever. :)

For the past seasons i've been a chelsea fan but now that i've heard players like shevchenko are going to chelsea i will think twice about being their fan come next season. Not that i hate chelsea but look at Real Madrid club right now and tell me where there are ranked as far as spanish soccer is concerned. They were a good team back then but once they started buying all superstars they stopped performing. Same will happen to chelsea if they are not careful.Good luck to Abramovich.

Mmmm... juicy.  Okay, all puns aside, I'm surprised Cantona introduced himself.  He hosted the Russian Freighter Cup four years ago, and I don't think we ever heard his name.

I have the luck to live in Spain, and Barcelona is my team, so I'm more than happy to have messi, etoo and ronaldhino in "my" team. watching the guy play is a real treat, and seen the fact that he's only 18 years old, the future looks good :) he, etoo and ronaldhino play what we like to call "samba football", but something messi has extra, is that he plays a top league game like he was playing with his friends in his backyard. :)

Fabio Aurelio is a 27 year old Brazilian left back from Valencia. He played under Rafa Benitez when Benitez coached Valencia. good shooter. I'm not sure if he fell out with Valencia or wanted to play for Benitez but he is currently rumored to have a free transfer to Liverpool. The rumor is that he signed a Bosman agreement with Liverpool and will be moving over July 1st when the trading window opens. I guess we'll find out in 1.5 days? maybe less depending on where you are.\n\nI've seen a few videos of him playing. great shot, but i haven't seen enough yet. but hes pretty talented and should be a good replacement/backup for riise allowing riise to take over the left mid position.

Ha ha ha. Nice story. You have a talent for story-writing, do you know that? Anyway, Ronaldo will always be Ronaldo. Nobody can stripped him of his honor of being called "one of the greatest." His record will speak for himself. He may be down now, perhaps because of age (?), but in due time he'll deliver again. The Brazilian team has a deep bench. With Ronaldinhio, they might have a repeat this year. Ronaldo's talent and energy is one of a kind, thus, i believe he will make a great comeback. :D

I just can't believe it dude! So there are american people who know my town's team? I've seen him play several times: he's fast, has a good technical level, and he knows well how to call for the ball at the right time. The only negative point, is that he doesn't seem to integrate himself well in the team strategy. In France, we would say that he seems to be a bit too "perso". But I do think he could be Nantes's greatest offensive player next season. Unfortunately, the only one that doesn't understand that he deserves to be part of the first eleven seems to be Serge Le Dizet (Nantes's coach)...

totti is overated, very overated, i think he is possibly the most overated player in the world and he plays like a poor mans frank lampard, if you mean brazils ronaldo then he is having weight problems at the minute but he is fantastic, the defining player of a generation, 15 world cup goals says it all, has had problems with form for the last couple of seasons but still ronaldo would walk onto any teamsheet be it chelsea, barca or juventus he is the best striker in the world.  inzaghi is technically gifted and a good forward, i wouldnt say he is especially good just good, klose has an eye for goal and probably the best header of the ball in the world, crespo plays football like he is painting a masterpiece, he is a little overated but very very classy, del piero played in tottis place the other day and played well but he is only a shadow of his former self he used to be a great player but for the last few seasons in the champs leaugue he has been poor messi is a name to look out for in the future he hammered chelsea at camp nou but has been largely left out of the argentina team at this world cup, he has graced our screens one or twice and has looked good but come 2010 he will be the star of the tournament, so so talented i would go as far to say that along with arjen robben he is the most talented winger in the world and a huge huge star of the future, i dont know who this bal is sorry, the best player on that list is ronaldo( if you mean brazils ronaldo) ronaldo is the best player of his generation, ohhh bal is michael ballack, ballack reminds me of steven gerrard and michale essien, he is class true class great range of passing, great tackler, powerful shot, never runs out of energy, ballack could play centre half or centre forward and would not disapoint in either, a great midfielder and  a great commited footballer as his performances have shown,

Figo is not the only player in the Portugal side, right? Maybe they know they can't beat Portugal, just hope that Ronaldo will be fit to play them.

My favorite player is Kaka' and yeah he plays for my favorite club, Milan as well. My favorite national team is Italy but anyway I like Brazil since Kaka' is Brazilian although I'm not a fan of them but I admire the way they play spectacular football.

There are alot of black and hispanic people in Brasil...way more than caucasians. Im pretty sure Ronaldo is a mix of these ethnicities, black and hispanic, but his name is Brasilian (Portugese, actually, because Brasil is a former Portugese colony)

I'm totally with you on this one. I think that he's one of the greatest midfield maestros that the modern game has ever seen. Unfortunately for him and Viera/Vieira (they share the same b-day) I don't think that France is playing their best football. They're an aging team, and haven't looked like the France of '98-'00. I think that it's a damn shame that a player of Zidane's calibre may have to celebrate his b-day and possibly his final international appearance for France, on the bench. Happy B-day to both of them, and for their sake, I hope that France wins, if for no other reason, than to let him go out in style, on the pitch where he belongs :)
