According to the fans, the experts and the coaches, Ronaldinho was meant to be the best player in this World Cup Germany 2006. But he wasn’t. What’s more, Brazil disappointed their fans and lost to France with a goal scored by Thierry Henry.
Is there an explanation for such a fail? Honestly, we don’t know. I believe he is still the best player in the World, but something happened to him during the Cup and he just wasn’t the same player that shines in Barcelona.
He will still have another chance to prove he’s the best, four years from now, in the World Cup of SouthAfrica. Until then, we’ll live trying to explain what happened that night, when Zidane was the best and Ronaldinho was just another guy running on the pitch.

Ronaldinho
After the last season, I have heard a lot of comments comparing Ronaldinho with the most famous and successful players in history: Pele and Maradona. And no one laughs at it. I think he is, indeed, in the same level as the two legends.
