IMHO Ronaldihno was easily the best player in 2002 and invisible this year. Brazil looked old, fat and tired.
I suppose you think that Brazil also was bought off in 1998?
Face it -- France is a better team. Brazil beat up on Japan -- big deal. They beat up on Ghana without Essien -- big deal. No shots on goal until the 90th minute? That makes BRAZIL the cheese-eating surrender monkeys, not France.
He played better in the commercials than in World Cup matches.
