Is ronaldinho just getting way too much attention. in my opinion he is way over rated. i think that he is getting all of the attention, when Ronaldo is about to retire. Ronaldo has worked his way to the top, and shouldnt be shunned just because this young buck can do a crossover.

Ronaldo was better pre-injury but since then he has been a shadow of his former self, despite having a decent scoring record and the rare great night (like at OT). Ronaldinho is currently one of the best players in the world and his style of play coupled with the flashy moves/tricks will always get more attention. Is he overrated? Yes, to a certain extent he is. Compare him to Riquelme. Even when the latter was performing better with more goals/assist, the former still got all the press and attention. He's just that type of player.

Ronaldinho is, like David Beckham in certain ways, a very suitable "trademark" figure. He has a distinctive look, smile, attitude, style, etc. He's really entertaining and well especially at the club rather than national level these players are in large part entertainers. So in certain ways he is overrated imo. I think there were better dribblers-Ronaldinho did all the stepovers and fancy things but examples even of his greatest dribbles are often 1 on 1's. He is still the best at 20 yd free kicks though I think Juninho is only better at longer range ones. And ronaldinho is good at lots of things but I think Ronaldo at his prime was better. He was faster, he was just terrifying to watch approaching the opponent's box and then goal.

i guess that is a part of it too, there isn't many players out there that have his smile or attitude.

Yes, Ronaldinho is overrated. Ronaldo is being disdained because he is fat.

No matter you say, the fact is that Ronaldinho managed to win 2 titles in a row and CL for his club. Many have failed to do this, Ronaldo included. In fact, in his 3 seasons at Barca, Ronaldinho has done more for his club than Ronaldo for any of his clubs over his entire career.

Well, in that case, it was quite a big piece since before him Barca did not even managed to qualify in CL.

And do tell me, why Ronaldo failed to win the title with the same core of players which will become champions immediately after him, when he was replaced by Rivaldo ?

Ronaldinho was good but let's not forget about what Davids did during his brief stint. He was the final piece of the 'Barc. puzzle'.
