Sorry if I came across a bit : rolleyes : kind of thing ;) Brasil play a different style of football than any other side I have seen in the WC or the domestic leagues here. I think I've heard it refered to as "Total Football" I agree that perhaps no other side in the world would tolerate a forward seemingly "out for a stroll in the park" and Ronaldo himself is well under par by his own excellent standards. I'm sure he was kept on for the full ninety minutes yesterday to help him gain more match fitness. As much as we like to look at the undoubted footballing talent of each of the individuals in the Brasil side we can forget just what a great team they are too. As a team they have decided that they would rather have a 60% fit Ronaldo sitting on the shoulder of the defence than not. Remember this too, he was on a yellow card before that match. Most other managers were having huge debates with their teams (and the filthy press) about resting players on yellow cards in case they got another one and missed the next match. Carlos Alberto Parreira (the manager) decided he needed Ronaldo to play, the team needed Ronaldo to play and Ronaldo himself needed and wanted to play. I understand your point of view binary and would agree with you if it were any other player in any other team. This is no ordinary team and an extaordinary player.
