18. “GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
17. “Showing him this much space is like handing the keys to the blood bank to Dracula.”
16. “Defenders try to follow him on Facebook and he comes out on Twitter, that’s how evasive he is.”
15. “As electrifying as a hairdryer thrown into a hot tub, my friend.”
14. “He could shave a mouse in his sleep and not disturb her.”
This is the summer that dreams come true. Do you want to watch Wrexham, the club you've supported your entire life (since 2020)? The MLS All-Stars against Arsenal? Any interest in El Clásico?
Brazilian legend Ronaldinho may have turned 43 this month but there’s still an exorbitant amount of life left in his legs.
Earlier this week, he posted a clip of himself on Instagram playing some intense 2v2 sand volleyball. The catch was that none of the players were allowed to use their hands or arms.
Ronaldinho was as flashy as ever. He successfully completed a no-look pass while smiling into the camera, prevented his opponents from scoring and finished off the point with an incredible kick.
What a play!
El menú de la J12 del Clausura 2023 viene delicioso. Los clásicos Tigres vs. Monterrey y Chivas vs. América serán del deleite de las masas, mientras que el Querétaro vs. FC Juárez seguro que encantará a aquellos con gustos más...ehm... alternativos.
The first video in YouTube history to hit 1 million views was Ronaldinho’s “Golden Shoes” Nike advertisement. Back in the days when JogaTV ruled YouTube, a video featuring Eric Cantona and Ronaldinho broke the internet.
Fans, and 7-year-old me at the time, sat in disbelief as Ronaldinho would juggle a ball, shoot it off the crossbar multiple times and keep juggling all while it never touched the ground. I was too young to understand what special effects were, so I thought for the longest time that the video was real.
Ronaldinho’s last Barcelona goal was scored against Atlético Madrid on March 1, 2008. At the time of writing, that moment took place 15 years ago. How time flies.
Ronaldinho’s final goal for la Blaugrana is the legacy of that game, however on the day it was a triumphant 4-2 victory for Atlético Madrid.
Ronnie scored the opening goal in the 29th minute with a spectacular bicycle kick. The assist from Xavi wasn’t too shabby either.
Coaxed onto the pitch by Gerard Piqué and the fulfillment of his appearance fee, Ronaldinho made a brief cameo in the Kings League on Sunday as the 12th man for Ibai Llanos' Porcinos FC team.
The true king was in the building.

If you’re a casual soccer fan who tunes in for the World Cup and the occasional game, you probably noticed an odd tactic. “Why does a player lie down behind the wall in soccer?” you may have asked yourself.
The tactic of having a player laying down behind the wall is simple. Having a player lay down behind the wall denies the free kick taker any chance at shooting the ball underneath the wall when the players jump.
The Nike World Cup commercial 2022 is an instant classic. The full version — clocking nearly four and a half minutes — has it all: past and present versions of Cristiano Ronaldo hitting the "SIU!" together, multiple past versions of "O Fenômeno" Ronaldo getting after it, Kylian Mbappé introducing 2006 Ronaldinho to the low wall, Alex Morgan sipping tea, Edgar Davids just being Edgar Davids and so much more.
The film is part of Nike FC's Footballverse, which has its own snazzy website to explore.
Dentro de la lista de cosas que hacer antes de morir de cualquier futbolista sudamericano, seguro que hay una línea en que dice ser "campeón de una Copa Libertadores y campeón de una Champions League". Sin embargo, en la historia son pocos los jugadores que pueden presumir haber ganado los trofeos de los torneos continentales más importantes del planeta.
Pero de vez en cuando pasa y el central brasileño David Luiz es testimonio vivo de que ese deseo puede ser realidad.
