Viva La Futebol

I think I have a major man crush on Ronaldinho.

Define: Man Crush

A heterosexual appreciation of another man's talents which frequent the past memories of the affectionate's historical endeavours.

I love futebol, absolutely adore it, and since we are in the midst of the UEFA Champions League semi finals I think all who read this blurb should realize the unbelievable skills that the above Brazilian name represents with respect to the game.

In the first leg of today's semi final, from a flat footed stance, the ugliest man in professional sport (well next to Mike Ricci) flicked a beautiful chip twenty yards over and behind three defenders and with a one bounce pounce by Frenchman Giuly Barcelona gave itself a 0-1 lead in the biggest showcase of club soccer on the planet.


If the lay person with regards to soccer know not who Ronaldinho is, you may have seen him on the most recent Nike advert, which showcases the young Brazilian showcasing his early skills on an indoor pitch some so many years ago.

And now to play the ultimate personal segway.

The lesser known, but equally competitive XTSC (Xtreme Toronto Soccer Club) has its divisional playoffs next wednesday night and yes, yours truly, playing a influential centre mid position with Its Not Oatmeal is leading a playoff charge of our own.

I get so jacked for soccer its crazy, and next wednesday were gonna stick it to a lot of Milan lovin gino's and Celtic lovin' weirdos with our Lyon Bleu wearing asses.
