It was nearly a week ago when I talked about the interview Ronaldinho had with IGN and the expertise he passed onto EA for their upcoming game, FIFA 08. I came across the video on YouTube which shows Ronaldinho playing football in his Mo-Cap suit surrounded by red lights and several $20,000 video cameras, all in the name of realism. There is something the host says at the beginning of this video that doesn’t sit well with any Ronaldinho fan, something along the lines of:

The top superstar bill is non other than the world’s probably second greatest football player, after Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo, is Ronaldinho…

Time To Get Defensive

Now, I’m not one to get into arguments and so forth, but I just don’t believe that Ronaldinho comes second to C. Ronaldo. Now don’t get me wrong, Ronaldo is a flamboyant, exciting player to watch, but Ronaldinho is a totally different dynamic and in my opinion, blows everyone else out of the water. So I commented this on the YouTube page saying:

Explain why EA and Nike are willing to put down millions of dollars to have Ronaldinho’s face on their merchandise… C. Ronaldo is better looking, but still they go with the uglier Ronaldinho… because he is the best in the world

Since when did C. Ronaldo win any FIFA Player of the Year Awards and other accolades to give him the title of Greatest Player In The World? Nevertheless I hope you enjoyed the video and gave you an insight into the game. Like I’ve said before, FIFA 08 is going to be exciting stuff!
