Suerte, mi Amigo

Just as I was getting over the whole Ronaldinho thang, shelving my bitterness for its overall uselessness, the Gaucho had to go and do this. Ah geez, now I'm at a loss. There was so much disappointment the last couple seasons with Ronnie as we all wanted to see him rise to his former glory of 04/05 and 05/06. Some of us became bitter as hope waned, while others took a kinder route and held onto the memories thankfully. But, now there's this. Ronaldinho didn't have to do it, but he did. And that speaks volumes for me.
Thank you, Ronnie, and the best of luck to you with AC Milan.

Yes, I'm a little bitter with Ronaldinho. His comments in this article don't help much, though it's also something one would expect a new signing to say upon arrival. I only wish he'd made some sort of farewell conference at Barça before he left for Italy. A lot of the animosity for him in Barcelona was his own doing. If even your own mates have a joke going about you being in the gym to explain your continued absence from training, whose to blame then? Your team mates? The coach? The fans? The media? No you, my friend. You.
Okay, I'm done with Ronaldinho. No more 'comments'. I'll keep it professional. But, when you get lifted as high as I did by a player's skill and spirit only to be continually disappointed by that player's lack of maturity and fortitude, it bites. But, no more on...

The Sale of Ronaldinho: Bad Business
Tuesday, 15 July 08, 10:58 PM
I posted this article from Sid Lowe at the Guardian as a throw-in on OleOle, but wanted to remark further on it. If all this is true, and Sid isn't one to make things up, nor base on sheer rumor, this whole Ronnie deal is an embarrassment for FCB. I want to take nothing away from Ronaldinho (or Eto'o for that matter), but how the sale of the Brazilian went from €60m to €21m is nothing if not an excellent example of how not to sell off a player. Unbelievable. And there's still Eto'o to go as well. Personally, I'd like to see Laporta leave his office as soon as reasonably possible. The man and his board are losing their professionalism. The house is in serious need of sweeping.

Over 30 years ago, this American came to love the sport by way of Guam. It may have been pivotal that his first coach was a Spaniard with the self-declared moniker of 'Don Pedro'. Since then, the love of tiki-taka and all things La Liga has been foremost. This especially applies to Barça.
