And, barring an Act of God, he'll win the FIFA World Player Award as well.Wed, 03 Dec 2008 17:39:00 ESThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/tim_vickery/09/30/ronaldinho/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/tim_vickery/09/30/ronaldinho/index.htmlIf you want to make friends and influence people at your new club, then scoring the only goal in the big local derby is a pretty good start.Mon, 13 Oct 2008 15:07:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/jonah_freedman/09/03/rankings/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/jonah_freedman/09/03/rankings/index.htmlIt's a brand new day here in Rankingsville, and an exciting season awaits us. I fully expect José Mourinho to take Chelsea to the next step at last, Ronaldinho to rebound fully with Barcelona, Robinho finally to become the man with Real Madrid and ...Thu, 04 Sep 2008 17:16:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/gabriele_marcotti/08/28/serie.a.prev/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/gabriele_marcotti/08/28/serie.a.prev/index.htmlIf there's a new feeling of buzz around the Italian Serie A this season, much of it comes down to two men who are walking, talking hype machines: Ronaldinho and José Mourinho.Thu, 28 Aug 2008 19:37:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/olympics/2008/writers/grant_wahl/08/19/argentina.brazil/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/olympics/2008/writers/grant_wahl/08/19/argentina.brazil/index.htmlBEIJING -- It was a zany night at Workers' Stadium, a Brazil-Argentina soccer showdown that included a Kobe Bryant-driven human stampede, a good-old-fashioned journalist scuffle, the sight of Diego Maradona talking on a 1980s-style cellphone and a beleaguered Brazilian manager who dressed like a Club Kid, coached like a fraidy-cat and, in the end, mistook me for an Englishman.Wed, 20 Aug 2008 05:06:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/gabriele_marcotti/07/31/ronaldo.ronaldinho/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/gabriele_marcotti/07/31/ronaldo.ronaldinho/index.htmlMy last column on the valuations of Ronaldinho and Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to get a lot of people's panties in a twist. I got twice the usual haul of correspondence, some of it articulate, some of it abusive, some of it downright bizarre.Thu, 31 Jul 2008 15:26:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/gabriele_marcotti/07/17/transfer.fees/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/gabriele_marcotti/07/17/transfer.fees/index.htmlMany years ago, I was taught about the invisible hand and free markets and how, by definition, something was worth whatever someone was willing to pay for it. Of course, I've since learned that it's all a crock of bull. Some markets may work that way, but in fact, most of them don't.Mon, 21 Jul 2008 14:43:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/greg_lalas/06/23/mls.leverage/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/greg_lalas/06/23/mls.leverage/index.htmlLast week, when I heard the news that Ronaldinho had reportedly rejected a massive offer from to join the Los Angeles Galaxy, I nearly choked on my açaí juice. One thought flashed in my head: The odds Ronaldinho is coming to MLS this year are about as good as the odds that Gisele Bündchen will knock on my front door wearing a 1996 Tampa Bay Mutiny No. 15 jersey -- and nothing else.Mon, 23 Jun 2008 17:14:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/the_limey/06/13/england.euros/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/the_limey/06/13/england.euros/index.htmlYou find Team Limey in good mood this week. As we write, relaxing in the fustiest of fustian armchairs, watching Croatia beat Germany 2-1 at the European Championship, it makes England's failure to qualify ahead of the Croats seem a little less embarrassing.Fri, 13 Jun 2008 16:45:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/gavin_hamilton/04/08/ronaldinho.transfer/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/gavin_hamilton/04/08/ronaldinho.transfer/index.htmlPrepare for sightings of Roberto de Assis, the brother and agent of Ronaldinho, all over Europe in the coming weeks.Tue, 08 Apr 2008 21:40:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/magazine/specials/sportsman/2007/12/11/latino.sportsman.espanol/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/magazine/specials/sportsman/2007/12/11/latino.sportsman.espanol/index.htmlTodos los jugadores profesionales, salvo los porteros, marcan un gran gol a lo largo de sus carreras. Los grandes delanteros, si tienen suerte, marcarán un gol que pase a la historia. La diferencia entre Leo Messi y los demás es que tiene toda su carrera por delante, pero ya ha marcado tres en 2007 que perdurarán como obras de arte y serán admirados en los museos del fútbol, como hoy admiramos a Leonardo da Vinci, de aquí a quinientos años.Tue, 11 Dec 2007 20:45:00 ESThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/gabriele_marcotti/12/05/7.columns/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/gabriele_marcotti/12/05/7.columns/index.htmlYou probably didn't notice, but my column didn't run two weeks ago. It was Thanksgiving and my boss gave me the day off. Good thing he did, otherwise you would have had to read through my postmortem on England's failure to qualify for Euro 2008.Wed, 05 Dec 2007 22:40:00 ESThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/tim_vickery/09/18/brazil.wcquals/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/tim_vickery/09/18/brazil.wcquals/index.htmlQualifying for the World Cup is no cakewalk, even for Brazil. Luiz Felipe Scolari's side struggled to make it to Japan and South Korea in 2002 -- indeed, without a couple of strokes being pulled, Brazil may well have missed out entirely on the competition it ended up winning.Tue, 18 Sep 2007 05:07:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/jonah_freedman/09/06/rankings/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/jonah_freedman/09/06/rankings/index.htmlOK kids, let's get this over with -- we're all looking ahead to the loads of international action this weekend. The bell may be tolling for England as far as qualification for Euro 2008, and Spain and the Netherlands face uphill battles.Thu, 06 Sep 2007 06:59:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/gabriele_marcotti/05/29/fortunate.50/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/gabriele_marcotti/05/29/fortunate.50/index.htmlLast year, Michael Schumacher's numbers were positively Chamberlain-esque, a function of his longevity, ability and name recognition.
