I remember you asked me about it before, sorry I didnt answer. I forget what thread it was. About the artist you mentioned, No I am specifically a fan of his work, but I used be a fan of DC comics when i was younger. And I saw this avatar on another forum.

sorry, I know that it's difficult for you to accept the fact that Ronaldinho isn't that good, one would have to be a fool to actually believe that it is, its not that hard to tell it was layered and edited multiple times.

And how does that make his argument any good?

Try not to assume anything about whether I believe it's real or not.

He didn't intend to make an argument, otherwise he would have elaborated, also everything has pretty much been said about this topic, and to sum it up, it favors the video being fake to a large degree.
I didn't assume you believe it or not, I specifically chose to say "one" instead of you. I only pointed out that you're a Brasil fan and might want to believe it is in fact true. If you think I was singleing you out, that wasn't the case.

Your writing sucks. You mixed up a "you" with an impersonal "one". Of course it was directed at me. You then decided to generalize it but didn't revise the whole thing.

If your intent was to speak generally, fair enough, you've cleared that up.

As for ForeverRed's argument, his statement amounts to "cgi exists, therefore the video is fake". It would be a heck of a leap to base his argument on the rest of the thread until he replied "flip through the pages".

Nice try, but show me a language where you make such a direct sentence as your first one and can make it an impersonal "you".

Then show me you speak it.

This is the sentence that was directed at me:

"sorry, I know that it's difficult for you to accept the fact that Ronaldinho isn't that good,"

The other one is obviously more general.

ForeverRed · Nov 15, 2005

Hey there you crazed brasil fanboy, stop trying to make an arguement, at this point the majority knows its fake....everything you say from now on doesn't really mean anything.

I just found your post awfully funny.

why do you struggle so much with deciphering a simple statement? i already explained to you, the first sentence was directed to you only in regards that you are a Brasil fan, not that you actually believe the video is fvcking real.
Also, if you don't believe what I told you about the languages I speak, I suggest we meet up, we both seem to live in Queens, maybe we will run into each other and I'll repeat what I just told you in four languages.

So why did you throw in that comment? All it did was imply an assumption on your part - you assumed that I believe the video is real.

Way to misread me, where did I state that I think you do not speak four languages?

I threw that comment in because I know you're a Brasil fan and regrdless of whether the video is real or not, you would'nt hesitate a minute to want to believe itBut I already made clear that that particular statement wasn't in regards to the validity of the video.
I didn't misread, you asked me to show you that i speak those languages, which would make me think you are questioning me respecti

I'm betting the languages you speak are not different enough for you to claim the first sentence was not directed at me. Of course, we had cleared that up anyways.

At any rate, next time don't try to throw out a comment like that which, intended or not, is an insult. And you won't get me dragging this thread through a pointless argument.

you have to learn to be less sensitive, I don't know what about that offended you in any way, if it did, i apologize, i don't know how else to express that it wasn't my intention.

Look, I was just saying how hard it must be for you to post in English, since you clearly have problems with it. Good show man. Sure, there are times you're barely understandable, but keep at it. You'll get the hang of English one day.

you're delusional, theres a general consensus on BS that you're nothing more than a pompous jackass, but you seem to thrive on that.

And then you get insults in return. From someone, who, of course, is a joke for loving anything German.

FAKE -

anyone who has ever played at a fairly competitive level can tell you that is impossible!

I am surprised this thread is still going and more amazed at the amount of views it has gotten. What continues to entertain me though is replies like this one where people compare their skill level with that of the most technically unique attacker in the world

'I can't do it and I've kicked a ball around, it is fake' whether it is real or not I find these kind of replies the most hilarious. I suppose it is by choice suc people coose not to become top level pros playing for teams like Barca, eh?

edvc_van · Nov 15, 2005

I am amazed that this thread is still going on.

It is a fake! I knew it since I saw it coz I do digital work. Anybody can spot the fake stuff. Just 2 days ago I saw on tv how they filmed this tv commercial for Nike. there were like 10 people right next to ronaldinho with cameras, those big screens that is used to add things digitally later on like the chroma key green screen. 2 guys were holding this big screen right next to ronaldinho as he was "shooting towards the bar" and of course they are also digitally removed from the final result.
it is fake and that's it.

kiko-br · Nov 15, 2005

Fake or not... i would like that most of u guys hv seen LIVE what Ronaldinho´s brother(Assis) could do a few years ago...(i havent ssen him about for about 5 years)

if u hv the oportunity to see it, you might wont believe in this video, looking for something fake(not the possibility of doing that)..

All I can say is that i´m lucky to see something like in the video live... Assis used to do something like in the video every training.. and also ronaldinho when both of them werent proofessionals playes...(ok.. inever saw it 4 times in a row, but 2 i saw a few times.. lol)...

and ok guys.. keep saying that the video is fake just because "buaaa.. i play soccer since i was 2 years.. and i still cant do it.. no way ronaldinho can do it.. no one can do it.."...
