    SAO PAULO (AP) -- The hype of Ronaldinho's return to Brazilian soccer is fading, and fans are beginning to express their discontent with the former Brazil star.
    Ronaldinho became one of the greatest acquisitions by a Brazilian club when he signed with Flamengo early this year. But lackluster performances since then have left many disappointed.
    The latest setback came Wednesday when he couldn't help Flamengo get past Ceara in the quarterfinals of the Brazilian Cup. Flamengo relinquished a two-goal lead and was held to a 2-2 draw that eliminated the club from the competition. Flamengo had lost 2-1 in Rio de Janeiro in the first leg, when Ronaldinho played poorly and was booed by fans.:mad:

    People take this booing way too seriously.

    We (Fla fans) boo our players whenever they have a bad game, Ronaldinho is no exception.

    well, Ronaldinho chose Flamengo, now he better deal with the booing. In Grêmio, its VERY VERY rare for the players to be booed by the crowd. On the other hand, maybe it was good for Grêmio to have lost Ronaldinho to Flamengo.

    Flamengo is not in much problem however. The problem is on damn Traffic, who supported Flamengo in getting Ronaldinho and are paying his salary. Traffic thought they would get lots of sponsors to pay Ronaldinho´s salary, but the bill is entirely on them now...
