    Re: from the mind of a freakin' troll

    So anything that can be viewed as negative or is questioning the quality of something is trolling?

    What crap team do you support?
    Whichever one it is, I bet my team, and Ronaldo, would put another show.

    What kind of a league is this? The one where all european teams look at to for reinforcements. All the main teams in Europe have brazilian players in their starting line up.
    This is the kind of league that has had a team it in 4 out of the last 5 World Club Championships... and have won all 4 of them. And all indicates there will be, again, a brazilian club in this years championship again.

    Didn't Ronaldo go off in the Italian league in a game, with Milan?

    Ronaldo also isn't the top scorer. He just scored his first 3 in league play last night.

    Go off in the Italian league... ? What does this have to do with anything else in the thread?

    Understand one thing: Brasileirão 2009 for Corinthians only started yesterday.

    Bro, did you watch the match??? I watched it in Portuguese & could not understand why Fred was sent off. He didn't put up much of an argument either. What was that all about???? Also, I though that Carlos Parreira made some good subs to make the match more interesting & provided a chance for Flu.

    Sorry, I only watched part of first half, until they scored the 2nd goal. I thought - this is over!!! LOL

    I understand from news sources out there that Fred used cursing words, and the referee just sent him out... the ref thought those words were directed at him! LOL

    Also - in the news out there, Parreira said something like "if Fred had not gotten the red card, then his Fluminense would have done better...."

    I think Parreira's career with Flu is almost over...

    Fred said some pretty foul words to the ref (and yes, the words were directed to the ref). Although I didn't see any foul, I think the red card was a bit exaggerated. Then again, some people don't like being cursed at. Go figure...
    Personally I believe that with or without Fred, Fluminense wouldn't have managed to pull a draw, Corinthians had already started to take over the game again before Fred was sent off.

    I agree. Fluminense was playing like a bunch of chickens without heads.... ready for the roaster! LOL :D

    As you can see, I am a FLuminense fan...

    I think the ref blew the whistle, cause he felt that Fred had flopped in front of the box. Fred & Chicão gotten tangled up. Fred just fell like he was shot. The ref blew the whistle & pointed the other way. Fred looked at the ref & yelled. That is when the ref booted him. I thought Flu was on the right track back until that card. Ronald got his last goal after this situation. Don't get me wrong, it was a nice goal, but he might have been open w/ a full strength Flu. Just my two cents on the situation

    Because he tried to make the Brasileirão look bad when Ronaldo, in the same conditions, had a good performance in "one of the best leagues in the world", Série A, the Italian league.

    Well, apparently there are several interpretations for this. Lula, the ridiculous brazilian president, unfortunately supports Corinthians. According to Ronaldo he has been helping Corinthians with a new training center.

    Now, this "help" can be interpreted in several ways, I believe each person can have their own interpretation. What has been said is that Lula has been indicating companies to Corinthians. That's the way I see it at least.

    He wasn't much slimmer in his first season at Milan yet he recorded....either a goal or an assist every 89 minutes

    He ain't call O Fenomeno for nothing

    Who has scored more goals then Ronaldo since his debut with Corinthians?

    And he was never that fat when he was at Milan.

    True that. The most unstoppable player I've ever seen.

    Corinthians suffer a heavy loss in an atypical game against Grêmio.

    Although the ref's display was questionably horrible, it hardly contributed to the final result. If anything, his unexplainable red card to Jean (Corinthians) helped the team more than anything. If it wasn't for that I suppose the team would've suffered an even heavier loss!
