That cruel in truth. henry I thought played well, fought the game and led his players. Ok he missed chances but no more than the man dubbed the greatest in the world. That is the nature of football, people forget is Henry who set up the first goal.
All said I have a feeling he will light up the WC, he has a lot to prove.


On another note in a bar Yesterday interesting enough some Brazilians were saying that Ronaldinho has a tendency to not play well for Brazil, they talked about the SA qualifications and the Confederation cup. Now they saying his form is not where it should be going into a WC. Dem Brazilians eh easy at all, they don't rate Belletti and Ricardinho at all, they say Roberto Carlos and Cafu too old (though Cafu should be selected) and definately don't rate Dida, they say Ceni should start.

That cruel in truth. henry I thought played well, fought the game and led his players. Ok he missed chances but no more than the man dubbed the greatest in the world. That is the nature of football, people forget is Henry who set up the first goal.

On another note in a bar Yesterday interesting enough some Brazilians were saying that Ronaldinho has a tendency to not play well for Brazil, they talked about the SA qualifications and the Confederation cup. Now they saying his form is not where it should be going into a WC. Dem Brazilians eh easy at all, they don't rate Belletti and Ricardinho at all, they say Roberto Carlos and Cafu too old (though Cafu should be selected) and definately don't rate Dida, they say Ceni should start.

Well, all that being said, Ronaldinho's role in the Barcelona and Brazil squads is more that of a playmaker than a goalscorer. Agreed?  tierry henry's role (at least) for Ass-'n-all is supposed to be that of a prolific goalscorer more than a playmaker. Agreed?  The chances that Ronaldinho missed in yesterday's game were no where near as clear-cut as the two GLARING chances that henry missed, and, if memory serves me well,RONALDINHO was the one that put the through ball on for Eto'o to run onto before getting fouled by jens lehmann.  Isn't he performing in his capacity there? I will concede, though, that he had a better first half than second half. Henry did play well yesterday, but when he had at least TWO GLARING opportunities to fulfil his primary role as goalscorer for Ass-'n-all......he failed.
   As for them Brazilians in de bar, they have no choice but to have high expectations of their national team.  They are simply the best and most talented footballers in the world.  But I also agree with them that Dida has not looked fit to wear the No. 1 shirt for them in this WC.  He has been very inconsistent this season but the only problem I see with putting Ceni in goal is the lack of familiaraity with the defence. I saw them play a friendly a couple o' months ago and he started and ther was some  miscommunication between him and the defence and he really didn't look as comfortable as I ecpected him to be.

It was not a personal attack on Ronaldinho.

i personally not expecting much from him for WC cuz it has been proven that he cannot opperate at full potential for france once zizou playing...their styles are diff (zizou = slow, henry = pace).

& everybody no once david dean in the FA arsenal cyah do no wrong....look at the when the pitch was "unplayable" against portsmouth giving them a week off & then they had an inquiry into racist attacks by v. pergy on a player from a team i cya remember & they shuda be ducked points but that dissappear into thin air!!
