Ronaldinho loves his PS2 News
PlayStation 2 News by Ellie Gibson
At last, the real reason Brazil was knocked out of the 2006 World Cup has been revealed - well, providing you believe anything that's printed in The Sun, anyway.
The British tabloid has published an interview with French model Alexandra Paressant - the girlfriend of Brazil's best hope for victory, Ronaldinho. She claims that during the tournament, the international footballing superstar would creep into her hotel room of an evening, despite the coach's orders.
There the pair would "make love all night" - well, not quite all night, since it seems Ron likes to enjoy a bit of post-coital PS2 action.
"He likes to relax afterwards by playing his games. He was playing the FIFA 2006 football game during the World Cup," Paressant told The Sun. And apparently, that's what made him too tired to score any goals.
By an amazing coincidence, Ronaldinho appeared on the box of EA's FIFA '06 last year. But he probably didn't accept any money for it on account of how much he likes EA's FIFA games and all.

The reason he was crap was obviously because he was playing FIFA instead of Pro Evo. He must have believed that real football was like that instead ;)

"Seems a bit strange a guy with that much money wouldn't pay to get his teeth fixed."
I think the bad teeth are just too much a part of his image now. If he got them fixed, it just wouldn't be the same. As another example of what I'm talking about, imagine if Matt Lucas lost lots of weight (absolutely nothing to do with football or Ronaldinho, but I thought it was a good example). |

I remember reading a quote from Rooney once saying when he first got in the Everton squad he really enjoyed playing Fifa in a tag team with Tony Hibbert against Alan Stubbs and David Weir.
The world needs more Hibbert vs Weir hardcore Fifa activity. A lot more. |

Wasn't there an English premiership player in the mid-90s who claimed they lost the cup final because he played Tomb Raider all night?

^^ yeah that was David James
In April 1997, then-Liverpool goalkeeper David James cited all-night sessions playing Tomb Raider as the mitigating factor behind a dreadful performance on the pitch. http://technology.guardian.co.uk/games/s... |

Oh, for goodness' sake. I respect the guy as a player, but the last thing I want is a mental image of the buck-toothed freak in bed. :S
