PS2 > WC2006 七月 25, 2006

Many of you,including me might still wondering the incredibly poor performances from Brazil in Germany 2006. Its such a disappointment to see a team with the talent in excess of Kaka, Ronaldinho, Robinho, Adriano, Ronaldo went out so early in the tournament without playing anywhere near half of their potential.

Today I came across across an article regarding Ronaldinho, originally posted on The Sun in the UK.

Sex, PS2 blamed for Brazil star’s WC failure

When Brazil entered the 2006 World Cup as the favorite to take the championship, many pointed toward two-time FIFA player of the year Ronaldinho as the reason the team was the top seed. When Brazil was knocked out by France in the quarterfinals, fingers again pointed toward the star–who was held scoreless and did not play nearly up to his billing–this time to blame. British tabloid The Sun says that Ronaldinho’s poor showing was due to some off-field lovefests and plenty of PlayStation 2. In an interview with his girlfriend, French model Alexandra Paressant, the femme says that the soccer star would break team rules and sneak into her hotel room to “make love all night” and unwind by playing 2006 FIFA World Cup on the PlayStation 2. The Star implies that it wasn’t the marathon sex sessions that left him worn out for competition. “Instead, [Paressant] says, his habit of playing PlayStation after their romps may have knocked his form.”

So, what do you think? Do Ronaldinho really loves his virtual counterpart more? I guess he might maybe want to try out different tactics against his real life opponent. After all, video games nowadays are getting more real and realistic. Have a look at a reportedly leaked video of a new Star Wars game currently under development for next-generation consoles. I would really like to play a light sabre duel with that Nintendo Wii remote.
