Actually they do it one better though, they show the cheerleaders right beside the refs....I haven't seen it in ANY other soccer league yet. A ref, in between 2 cheerleaders.... Thank you. P.S: The men being interviewed, as well as the announcer are wearing clothing so bland, faceless expressions...Jesus lord, where are the fashion people, dressing everyone in "depressing" neutral colors is NOT the way to go...jesus..
Here is a good article that I found interesting. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/column...t=europe&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab3pos2&&cc=5901 Covers two points: 1) Youth development in Portugal 2) Financially Challenged SuperLiga and let's add a 3) How many portuguese players are playing elsewhere.
Ronaldo is being interviewed today on RTPi at 3:45pm eastern time. I'm sure it will be on their website afterwards.
I saw part of the interview when asked about the difference between scolari and queiroz ronaldo said how queiroz is really different from scolari... (Read: Queiroz is shit)
I think he means Scolari is a tough coach and Queiroz isn't, but I am also pretty sure that tactically Queiroz is better, but that is useless if he can't get his men to perform.
Queiroz is tactically better, but he cannot motivate a team like Scolari. And once again, I have experience this before first hand, you can be simply decent at tactics, but if you got your squad running their heart out for the team, literally bleeding on the field for the people in the same jersey as you... You usually accomplish something...My U - 18 basketball team took Montreal like that.
Oh for sure tactics will always come second to desire... but when you have both..... You know. It's quite sad though that professionals hell even INTERNATIONALS can't bleed for the shirt on their own, very sad actually.
Ronaldo mentions in a interview that he is obsessed with Brad Pitt & Angeling Jolie. Also, he said he would've to bring a title to Portugal. That is his goal!!
What did you expect? Ronaldo has poor taste in women. Maybe he should hire that millionaire matchmaker girl to fix him up with a nice canadian chick.
2 nice goals today vs Aston villa hes tied with anelka on 15 at the top of the EPL scoring charts gerrard has 2 less goals. too bad he didnt get 1 vs sweden
His work ethic has dropped on all fronts let's not get it twisted. Only because everyone else in the EPL has stopped scoring has Ronaldo caught up. He is clinical when given the chance to score for United but is well off his pace from last year playing about as many games. His comments before the Sweden game should of been enough for CQ to strip him of the captaincy but we can clearly see like Scolari CQ plays favorites...actually Scolari had the balls to bench Figo and sub in Deco and Ronaldo and keep them as starters. Despite Maniche being critical to the team he kept him off for locker room related issues. Right or wrong at least Scolari had a line (even if he judged it wrong many times) CQ has no balls to do such things. At this point there is NO ONE in Ronaldo's life that will slap him down to earth. SAF is satisfied with him and so is CQ while the rest of Portugal is wondering what the hell happened to the World Player of the Year.
He didn't play much better in this game than he did against Sweden. The free kick was nice but the 2nd goal, he had a shot like that in the Sweden game that the goaly stopped, that shot was harder than the one he hit against Villa too. His form has dropped and like Gooddead said he has no one to crack down on him. When he was young he used to always have the attitude to try and get better no matter what. Now he thinks he's the best out there and the rewards helped him confirm it. I dont think we'll see Ronaldo at his best until either Manchester United lose in the Champions League or until Messi wins WPOTY, maybe that will motivate him again. I think (and hope) tomorrow he will be Uniteds downfall especially since he loves to show off against the portuguese teams
I heard that Ronaldo said that he thinks he is in the right club right now and he wont move to Real Madrid
great post and I would have to agree with you on this,. anyways I have a feeling we will see Ronaldo settle the game against FC porto.
For you guys that watched the Aston Villa game, did you see when the kid scored, everyone ran to him except Ronaldo. If hes not the center of attention hes not happy. And ive read reports that madrid have a deal in place with kaka, so ronaldo in england for another year ?
