I'm not going to do like other websites that write scandalous headlines to force the readers to believe in something that was not quite like that.

But the question is; did Ronaldinho ask the Swedish footballer Johana Almgren to marry him?

"Romeonaldinho & Julihana Almgren"

I'm in the process of investigating the truth. I'm trying to get in touch with Ronaldinho's representatives or himself and also Johana in Sweden.

The fact is:

Swedish journalist Magnus PJ Larsson tells on his article for the online version on Swedish newspaper Borås Tidning, once the Brazilian Team arrived in the same hotel where the Swedish Women's Team was in Beijing, Johanna and some other players ran to the lobby to take pictures and get autographs. Once Ronaldinho set eyes on the Swedish beauty he moved past all the Chinese fans, got down on his knees and kissed her hand. "I was about to faint", revealed Johanna.

Later on he had one of his teammates invite Johanna up to his room. She gather a couple of her teammates, grabbed her camera and went there.

Alexandre Pato guided them to the room and they had a great gestures conversation. (Ronaldinho barely speaks English and Johana's Spanish and Portuguese skills are almost zero). At a certain point Ronaldinho started talking to one of his buddies and the translation came fast "He is asking if you would like to marry him?" Johanna's answer was also pretty fast: "No". The primary reason was that Johanna has a boyfriend in Sweden. A lucky guy called Adam Reggiani. 

Ronaldinho wanted to exchange shirts and Johanna promptly got him a Swedish one but he promised to get her a Brazil shirt the next day. It didn't happen. When she showed up next morning to get her prize the "Brazilian Romeo" was sleeping. "I didn't dare to wake him up", explains Joahnna.

She still wants the shirt and I bet they exchange phone numbers so Ronaldinho might still have a chance of a second meeting.

What we don't know is if Ronaldinho's words were exactly "MARRY ME" or if something was lost in translation. That's why I'm investigating with some people I know at AC Milan to get Ronaldinho's version of this story.

Ronaldinho's personal life has for most of his career been discreet. Not everybody knows that he has a son named João who is probably 3 or 4 years old now.

His name and face are not always on the papers next to a hot model (or ugly transvestite) like the other Ronaldo. That's why this Olympic flirt has hit the papers intensively and that's why I want to go deeper and find out how interested the Brazilian star is in the Swedish beauty Johanna Almgren.

So I'll follow up on this story and let's see if it will have a happy soap-opera ending or a greek tragedy one. Hahahaha...

Que a Seleção Brasileira Feminina de Futebol tem talento de sobra não há dúvidas. Marta, Daniela, Cristiane, Formiga, entre outras, já demostraram que o futebol feminino brasileiro tem condições de dar ao país do futebol muito mais títulos ainda.

O que falta então? Falta tudo menos dedicação das jogadoras e talento.

Falta dinheiro, o combustível que faz a máquina do futebol mundial girar. Falta incentivo. Falta planejamento. Faltam equipes e competições. E ainda sobra preconceito!

Mas apesar disso tudo a Seleção Brasileira de Futebol Feminino segue em frente.

A equipe foi supreendida em 2006 ao perder o título do Sul-Americano para a Argentina (naquela ocasião o Brasil jogou sem Marta) e como só o campeão teria vaga garantida, restou ao Brasil esperar até agora para enfrentar Gana, segundo colocado da Africa, para brigar pela última vaga no torneio olímpico.

A partida acontece nesse sábado dia 19 de abril, às 8:45 da manhã (hora de Brasília) em Pequim na China e a equipe brasileira chegou na capital chinesa na manhã de terça feira.

O clima muito frio e seco pode ser um problema para ambos os lados mas as meninas da equipe verde-amarela demostraram estar confiantes e preparadas para vencer a partida. A equipe vem fazendo sessões de treinos no Worker's Stadium, local da partida, visando adaptar-se ao clima e acertar os últimos detalhes para o jogo.

Já as Rainhas Negras da equipe de Gana esperam seguir os passos da seleção nigeriana e chegou hoje, quinta feira, a Pequim determinada a dar muito trabalho ao Brasil com forte marcação e explorando a velocidade dos contra-ataques.

O técnico de Gana, Mumuni Gamel, reconhece a superioridade brasileira mas afirma que tudo pode acontecer em 90 minutos

"Nós fizemos um bom trabalho de preparação para essa partida e estamos conscientes da tarefa que temos pela frente. Elas (as brasileiras) são muito boas mas estamos preparados." Afirmou o técnico ganês ao site oficial da federação de futebol do seu país, e ainda completou...

"Essa partida só será decidida nos 90 minutos e nós devemos aproveitar ao máximo as chances que tivermos e manter a concentração durante toda a partida."

A Rede Globo vai transmitir o jogo entre Brasil e Gana nesse sábado às 8:45 da manhã para todo o país.
