Some peoples charm lies in their spleen.
: England v Brazil.....
It is just before England v Brazil at the next World Cup Group game.
Ronaldinho goes into the Brazilian changing room to find all his team-mates looking a bit glum.
"What's up?" he asks. "Well, we're having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know it's important
but it's only England. They're sh*te and we can't be bothered".
Ronaldinho looks at them and says "Well, I reckon I can beat these by myself, you lads go down the pub."
So Ronaldinho goes out to play England by himself and the rest of the Brazilian team go off for a few jars.
After a few pints they wonder how the game is going, so they get the landlord to put the teletext on. A big
cheer goes up as the screen reads "Brazil 1 - England 0 (Ronaldinho 10minutes)". He is beating England all
by himself! Anyway, a few more pints later and the game is forgotten until someone remembers "It must be
full time now, let's see how he got on".
They put the teletext on.
"Result from the Stadium "Brazil 1 (Ronaldinho 10 minutes) - England 1 (Crouch 89 minutes)". They can't
believe it, he has single handedly got a draw against England!!
They rush back to the Stadium to congratulate Ronaldinho. They find him in the dressing room, still in his
gear, sat with his head in his hands. He refuses to look at them.
"I've let you down, I've let you down."
"Don't be daft, you got a draw against England, all by yourself. And they only scored at the very, very
end!"
"No, No, I have, I've let you down... I got sent off after 12 minutes"
