Robinho The Magician

Robson de Sousa, also known as Robinho did something last week that even my good friend Patrick had to admit his dribbling ability.

I know that many have their doubts about him. My friend even calls him "Snoop, if you pet him, he'll go down".

But you have to admit that having that much skill at such a young age can't be easy...and just think of how much better he can be once he reaches his full potential!!!!

We all know of Robinho's dribbling skills. We are all familiar with the bicycle dribble that has gotten him by many defenders.



But what he did last week against Ecuador was something that had many asking themselves as they left the stadium..."What was that?", "What is that called?", "Was he just dancing on the field?". I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. Thank God for DVR because I kept rewind it and rewinding it just to make sure that my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. I mean what the heck was that? If you ask me...that was pure magic!


Brazil Moves Up In Fifa Ranking


Based on their performance in the World Cup 2010 qualifiers, Brazil moves up to second place behind Argentina, and Italy drops to third place.

Now, does anyone understand how these points work because I thought I did but it doesn't seem to make sense.

Take for example Brazil being in second place to Argentina. At the beginning of the Copa America Brazil was in third place behind Italy and France. Argentina was in 5th place.

After winning the Copa America Brazil moved to 1st place with Argentina in 2nd and Italy in 3rd.

Brazil has not lost a game since winning the Copa America, and they actually beat Argentina 3x0 to win the Copa America.

The only thing that Agentina has done better since the Copa America is to win both qualifiers....but they have not won any titles in God knows how long...and for them to be in First place?

I don't know it just doesn't make sense to me.

Barcelona Vs. Rangers

I was very disappointed to say the least with the Barcelona's performance yesterday.

I can't believe that they had 68% of possession throughout the game and could not score. In fact it was by the skin of their teeth that they did not lose.

In my opinion last night the only person pulling their weight was Puyol.

Ronaldinho had some flashes of what he is capable of doing and so did Messi but nothing to write home about.

Henry....don't even get me started on that guy. I don't know about anyone else but all I can say is that I can't wait for Eto'o to come back. Henry has no business being on that team.

Let's hope they do better next time.
