The Other Ronaldo
I read an interesting post about Ronaldo. No, not the Portuguese loser also known as CR7 or CR9 but Brazil’s Ronaldo, also known as the Phenomenon or his real name, Luis Nazario De Lima Ronaldo.
Heard of him? He is one of the greatest footballers of all times. It was a shame that he seems to be forgotten. When I tried to search for the term “ronaldo” on google news, the first two pages only gives information on Cristiano Ronaldo. CR9 has good looks and he does boast a lot (good marketing skills perhaps) and he’s a good cheater but just by watching how he played during World Cup 2010, you wonder is he actually that good as he claims himself to be? He was a dread to watch. During the match between Brazil and Portugal, I was tempted to change channel and watch E News instead. That’s how distasteful the game has become.
But I remembered Brazil’s Ronaldo. His game, especially when he was at his peak was a joy to watch. Just watch the video below. Its a tribute to the forgotten Ronaldo, the Ronaldo who made the name “Ronaldo” famous.

Maradona’s Protege, Lionel Messi is going to Score 2 Goals against Germany
Picture obtained from www.lionel-messi.biz
Lionel Messi is an inspiration to watch. His spectacular dribbling skills, sharpness in front of goal can cause havoc to any defense, even Germany. Yes, the game against Germany is going to be the match to watch. If I had enough money, I would have gone to the South Africa to watch the World Cup but unfortunately, my first million won’t come until a few years from now 
Lets not be ignorant of the fact that Germany is a very good side. It was such a delight to watch them play against England the other day when they trashed England 4-1. But my bets will be on Argentina. I hope they win against Germany and also believe that Lionel Messi will score in this game.
The only problem with my prediction is whether Messi is able to actually play on that day itself. The official news around the net states that Messi didn’t attend training because he caught a flu-like symptom. But the Argentine team doctor Donato Villani has denied that 23-year-old Messi is suffering anything more serious than a cold.
This is good news for fans all around the world as Argentina without Messi would not be the Argentina we know. Messi, as usual would be the deciding factor on the pitch. Just ask Germany’s midfielder, Sami Khedira. When his team Stuttgart played against Messi’s Barcelona in the Champions League, they got trashed 4-0 with Messi scoring twice and setting up another one.
So I predict Argentina would win the game against Germany by scoring 3-2 with Lionel Messi scoring 2 goals. Don’t believe me?
believe it, its going to happen..

England v Germany:Overrated English Players Stunned By a Sexy German Side
England lost 4-1 to Germany. What a shame to those overpaid and overrated English players who were outplayed and outclassed by a young, sexy German side. Germany played stunning football. It was amazing to see how they combined on the field to produce their goals. I have no doubt that German players like Mesut Ozil, Thomas Muller, Bastian Schweinsteiger, and Lukas Podolski will have agents knocking on their doors after the World Cup to give them big fat contracts from large clubs. Mesut Ozil was simply amazing! He was a nobody before the World Cup but things will change for him pretty soon. I’m a fan. Move aside Rooney and Cristiano to give way to a new star.
From what I read around the blogs, Chelsea happens to be heavily in favor of Uzil. I just hope that English football won’t spoil his game just like how it spoiled Michael Ballacks game (Just kidding).
So, Germany will proceed to the next round to meet either Argentina or Mexico. I believe Argentina will win against Mexico. However, I would have hoped that they met on the final, if they ever go through. England will have to do a lot of soul-searching from now on. I suggest that they revamp the entire system. They are just not good enough. Sorry England..
