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... Posted by Pequito · Comments (0) Topics: Spain,Barcelona,Italy,AC Milan

Ciao, Rino

06:09 PM, Wednesday, 16 July 2008

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 ... Posted by Pequito · Comments (0) Topics: Barcelona,AC Milan,Spain,Italy

The Sale of Ronaldinho: Bad Business

04:58 AM, Wednesday, 16 July 2008

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 fr...

Friday the 13'th - who will be unlucky?

It seems like a deja vu for me. It hasn't rained here in any morning except for the mornigns Romania has played. It's Friday the 13'th and I'm having a complete deja vu to the game against France. But I'm not a perticularly superstitious person, and I don't believe... Posted by nico21horia · Comments (0) Topics: Romania,Romania,Italy,Italy,EURO 2008
