Thats a Croatian fan showing his pleasure at the way rso was playing!

Just why were Brazil players snubing poor Ronaldo? Ronaldinho and Co. were deliberately not passing the ball to Ronaldo! True, he is overweight and does not have the mibility of old, but why then play him in the first place?

Is his chasing Pele and gerd Muller's records a problem for his other teammates?
Was he forced on the team?
Is the coach not brave enough to drop him?
Is the expectation of a nation too much?
A half fit Ronaldo is still a threat yes but at the expense of the entire team?

The moment Robino was on the ball was coming to him unlike with Ronaldo? Or maybe he was playing a far tooo forward position to be involved in the play except for the last ball which was never coming.

Anyway they were pedestrian, not like the attacking force they are knon to be, but then again maybe becoz Big Ron was off color! Maybe since its his first match in two months or so!

France woeful but then what do u expect from a team comprising of Viera, Zidane and Thiery? Why ever did they leave out Ludovic Guily? And why do they start with Saha on the bench?
