The Convert

Let me preface this blog by saying that I am not football’s greatest fan. Yes, I checked out a couple matches in the World Cup, but that aside, I really don’t know much.


In Japan there are pictures of Rolandinho everywhere and I’m thinking to myself “Why they have these pictures of this guy all over the place and him not even that cute?” Anyway, what I did realize was that he is extremely popular here. So when I had to do up a worksheet for the children and needed to base it on someone famous, immediately I thought of Ronaldiho because I was sure that they all knew him.

I went online and started reading up about this guy and out of curiosity I decided to look on one of the many video clips they have up on him, namely, the Nike golden touch clip. Suddenly I began to see this guy, Ronaldiho, in a whole new light. How talented can one person be?! The guy is like a magician with the ball !!! Suddenly it wasn’t Ronaldinho the guy with the weird teeth whose picture is on all the pepsi bottles but Ronaldinho the extremely gifted player who just happens to have a fine set of legs on him too- lol. This guy makes this ordinary game BEAUTIFUL. Bwoy, I promise myself that someway I going to try and find myself in front of a TV to see this guy really play.
