Apparently Ronaldinho likes short shorts. This photo was taken during Milan’s 3-1 UEFA Cup win over FC Zurich yesterday.
Good win for Milan (finally) but not a happy day for ‘Dinho. He started on the bench and didn’t come on until the 75th minute with Milan 3-0 up. Zurich scored three minutes later.

There was always something fishy about Man City’s pursuit of Ronaldinho. It didn’t feel quite right, I think for two reasons: 1) He was never really going to join, and 2) The plan to sign him up seemed to be based on his big name status, rather than what he was capable of offering Citeh [...]

By: Daryl | 2 Comments

Whether it’s players actually letting themselves go (see: Ronaldinho recently) or players who get lumped with the overweight label because it’s easy alliteration (see: “Fat” Frank Lampard). It’s a phenomenon that goes all the way back to William Fatty Foulke, who really deserved the title.
But no professional [...]
