Ronaldo

This past week we got to see Manchester United and Chelsea square off in Moscow for the Champions Leage final. I was pretty excited for the match because these are two great teams and they just wrapped up a damn close Premier League season. Good game. I just can't seem to like Ronaldo. For those of you out there who dont follow soccer too much he plays for Man. U. and has a kind of euro style mullet thing going on and he can never come through in the clutch. the final game came down to penalty shots. Ronaldo was up 3rd and when he got up there he did this stupid little stutter step thing. 1st of all, this looks stupid and i thin gives away your spot everytime, because it just gives the goalie that much more time to read your body. This totally plays to the keepers advantage. Secondly, if he made it there is a chance the ref would not allow it anyway. Needless to say, he missed, but he got very lucky and his team bailed him out. This is a guy who might get a contract that pays 280k USD every week! Ridicuous. Dont get me wrong he has talent, and i like seeing him in some one on one situations, but there is no need to give this guy that kind of dough. I will be excited to see what happens in the Euro 2008 tournament starting in a couple weeks. Always nice to have a little international competition mostly because i know the already low productivity in the european offices will fall even further. Alright folks. It has been a lazy, but good weekend in Brussels. there were some riots here, but nothing too exciting, which is a good thing.

In case you want to see the PK i was talking about. It takes place around the 3:10 mark. http://youtube.com/watch?v=kvnr-HgfzLA
