Yes I saw it and it was dreadfull and almost painful to watch Ronaldo, he did set up the first goal though, but I think Ronaldo's best years are behind him.

i think people over doing it,he looked lively in the game yesterday,doh worry he will be back,so what u never see nobody miss kick a ball on the volley before.

I feel Ronaldo problem is that he just not enjoying the game anymore. The pressure he is under only increases with a lack of performance. He heard the whistles when he was substituted. He eh in love with the game again.....and he probably unfocused. All that manufactures doubt which is the worst enemy of a player. If he hadda fire up this world cup.....it go be hard for everything to fall in place. I remember watching him play for Real....and he hit a shot on goal......the expression on his face was something like "If i miss dis....like i really gone thru"......and when it scored the relief that showed was as if he was thinking......"YES......I still have it...." He need to get back his belief....granted his lukewarm peformances probably overrode any confidence he would have gotten from his contribution to the goal......but he has to get it together time the next game. That the last game he could really afford to play mess in.....or else a dose of bench might be in order for the sake of results.

Lost love could be the same thing for Zidane too......buh thats just my opinion. He wanted to win this world cup bad doh......he said it would be the perfect send off.

you're not saying this because he could be at Chelsea next season are you?

I haven't seen him put in a good performance for four years. Lack of confidence or a lack of "Hunger" I'm not sure, but either way, he is nowhere near the player he was.

Yeah players like Ronaldo you can't dismiss so easily. He just lacks confidence that's all. So much pressure in the moment so he miss he just need to relax and play...

Ronaldo doe look nuttin like himself ...looks like he playing wid steel boots and just cyar move with or without de ball.I eh feel is lack ah confidence becuz he knows how good he is ,we all know how good he is ...dis man accustomed to de big stage and spotlight ,he know bout pressure... so ah guess unless he have some personal or physical problems ah ha to say he losing it,he look slow and sluggish.

Latent · « **Reply #37 on:** June 19, 2006, 08:10:57 AM »

I say give him one more chance against Japan then the coaching staff should assess his position depending on how he performs but it is sad to see him struggling.

Ronaldo is d bosses, allyuh wait and see, he lives on confidence, one tap in one deflection into the back of the net you will see.

When you soar to the highest heights, you are more open to get shot down

Boy!

Alexi Lalas calling someone a "waste of time"... unbelieveable!

For the most overrated footballer ever to call someone of Ronaldo's calibre a "waste of time" is so ridiculous it isn't funny. Where do these sports channels find these football dunces?

Oh ,so it was Lalas, I believe he refered to the #9 as "a bloated waste of space"..

I thought it was very unprofessional and tasteless.

Back to Ronaldo
Still fighting back from his knee injury.
Many people say he will never get to his old level again.
I think he is a fighter, but might just only be able to get back to 90 % or so.
I don't think he can ever play painless again, still I think he will improve this WC.

Kewell hit by Fifa charge
By Peter ORourke | Monday 19th June
http://home.skysports.com/worldcup/article.aspx?hlid=396289&CPID=4&clid=575&lid=4161&title=Kewell+hit+by+Fifa+charge

Australia ace Harry Kewell has been charged by Fifa for insulting referee Markus Merk following their 2-0 defeat to Brazil.

Liverpool star Kewell is thought to have sworn at Merk in the aftermath of Sunday's 2-0 loss.

Kewell, who came off the bench in the game, was unhappy with Merk's officiating throughout the match and aimed a swipe at him.

Fifa have now decided to look into the incident and if found guilty Kewell could face a ban.

"Fifa have opened disciplinary procedures against Harry Kewell," said Fifa communications director Markus Siegler

"It was reported in the referee's report that he insulted the referee several times."

Kewell has until Tuesday to respond and if he is found guilty of misconduct he could miss his side's crucial last Group F game with Croatia.
