I know we have number of soccer lovers on this board. Just thought I'd share how I'm spending several days covering FC Barcelona. I was over hanging with Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto'o, Xavi, Rafa Marquez and the rest of those cats over Reliant Stadium last night through tomorrow evening. The entourage of media they have following them is unbelievable. They have the media divied up into three areas for interviews: Espanol, English and Catalon. Thankfully several players have spent time in the English Premier league so I have somebody to talk to me.

Ronaldinho

Ask him about the Nike Golden shoe commerical. There's no way that's real. Like those powerade commercials, only they're less beleivable.


[Sly] Ronaldinho, Esse comercial de onde você bate a barra transversal com a esfera a respeito seja falsificação, direita? Também, comece um cabelo cortar. [/fox]

My Portuguese sucks. He is fluent in Espanol & Catalon apaprently. My best shot at being understandable would be Spanish.

[SuperJon]

I'm jealous.

do you mean the brazilian ping pong commercial? ive watched it like a million times on my ipod. one half of me says "its ronaldinho, he can do ANYTHING with a ball" but the other half says "theres no way hes THAT good", while still, somehow, ANOTHER half of me says "why cant i do that". Its phenomenal.
