The Brazilian Ronaldo


A lot of footballers seemed to piss on each other in those days. Odd behaviour IMO
Just like tackling other players, the referees decided to outlaw it in a contrived effort to ruin the beautiful game.

Now we may only listen to sour old men who watch the game from habit rather than enjoyment regale us with tails of yore about how “in my day” players were allowed to tackle each other, and Georgie Best would get his leg broken but still stay on his feet and nutmeg 5 players and the referee before sending the keeper to the shops and sticking the ball in the empty net.

Its a shame, because as good as our game was last night, I thought it was just lacking a little bit of urolagnia.
 
Ronaldo (Brz) was an electric player to watch at his best, far superior to Ronaldo (Por), who would have required 5 funerals and 50 stretchers per match playing in that era. His rounding the keeper goals with multiple rapid stepovers / body swerves were jaw dropping. Wobbling on about 'stats / numbers' is for folk who no doubt believe Joe Calzaghe and Sven Ottke were better than Roy Jones Jr and Tommy Hearns.

Romario took the toe-poke from being known as the go-to clearance of hairy-arsed shit centre halves, to a clever and immediate expert finish.
